2024 Wacker Neuson DPU130r Remote-controlled vibratory plate DPU130Le

The DPU130r is the strongest vibratory plate on the market. With a centrifugal force of 130 kN and an operating width of 47.24 in, it easily achieves the productivity of a 7.7 tn.sh. roller – however, because of its lower acquisition and operating costs, it is much more economical. Wacker Neuson developed this remote-controlled plate for heavy-duty applications. This new design was immediately recognized with two innovation awards.

Features may include:

• The DPU130r is the vibratory plate with the highest compaction power on the market. It can process high lifts, which saves passes. This allows compacting large areas in a short time.

• The DPU130r achieves a higher compaction performance per hour than a 5-ton roller and is therefore significantly more economical in terms of labor costs. The higher forward travel speed of rollers is compensated for by the better depth effect of the vibratory plate, as this reduces the number of passes necessary.

• The DPU130r has significantly lower costs for acquisition, operation and maintenance than medium-weight rollers. In light of this, the DPU130r is a very sensible economic alternative, even compared to the rollers of the 7.5-ton class, which achieve a slightly higher compaction performance per hour.

• The fully hydraulic, variable exciter adjustment allows the machine to be controlled very precisely. Changes in direction with simultaneous travel are possible, allowing for clean turns and a high surface performance.

• The proximity detection turns the device off as soon as the the distance between the operator and the device falls below 2 meters.

• If the line of sight between the operator and machine is interrupted, the machine immediately stops. As a result, the machine is unable to continue driving when not under control.

• Thanks to the ability to remotely control the device, the operator is able to work away from the noise, dust, and exhaust gas emissions. In track construction, they are able to stay in a safe position away from the danger zone. As a result, it is possible to work safely, healthily, and comfortably.
