Wacker Neuson calls its new remote controlled reversible plate compactor, model DPU 130, the most powerful plate on the market. The 2,612-pound plate produces 29,225 pounds of centrifugal force, and the maker says it “Can easily do the work of any 7-ton roller.” Two separate base plates, each driven by an independent, hydraulic exciter allow the unit to turns within its own diagonal width. A 33-horsepower Lombardini diesel drives the DPU 130, which offers an operating width of 47.2 inches.
