2025 Wacker Neuson WP1550A vibratory plate compactor

The WP1550A belongs to Wacker Neuson’s WP (Premium) single-direction vibratory plate lineup, engineered for granular and mixed materials, including asphalt and light soil. It’s especially suited for high-precision compaction around curbs, abutments, parking lots, and landscape subbases.

Key Features & Design Highlights
Advanced base plate: Features a tapered bottom and rounded edges, optimized for speed and smooth maneuverability—crucial for working near obstacles or tight corners.

Durable materials: Constructed with a wear-resistant ductile iron base and lightweight, high-strength aluminum components for manageable weight and durability.

Excellent handling: Equipped with a straight, center-mounted guide handle that folds low—allowing operation under overhangs and enhanced steering.

Built to last: Features like a V-belt protected in a sturdy housing and a high-inertia clutch with adjustable shims reduce wear and simplify maintenance.
