The Wcker Neuson APU3050e reversible plate compactor is powered by the common modular Battery One battery system that is used for a variety of Wacker Neuson’s zero-emission products. |
The APU3050e emission-free direct-drive system and overall height makes it ideal for working in trenches and indoors, as well as on job sites that have strict environmental or noise guidelines.
It is powered by the common modular Battery One battery system that is used for a variety of Wacker Neuson’s zero-emission products. The APU3050e with the battery system is extremely easy to use. It simply starts with the push of a button, even at low temperatures and at high altitudes. Depending on the application, one battery charge can be enough for the typical compaction tasks of smaller applications, however it is best to have two batteries and a quick charger available for larger jobs, which is more common for a reversible plate compactor.
The machine provides consistent power throughout the entire charge. When the battery needs to be changed, it is simply removed from the charger and installed into the machine without any special tools. Because the operator is not exposed to any exhaust emissions, the machine can be used without restrictions in trenches, tunnels and interior spaces.
The APU3050e reversible plate has an intuitive guide handle that adjusts its speed by an easy comfortable movement. The proven system provides continuous forward and reverse travel speed along with spot compaction. It weighs 486 pounds and comes with a 19.7-inch wide base plate and produces 6,744 pounds of centrifugal force. It can compact up to 6,135 square feet per hour. An integrated wheel set makes moving the machine around the job site or shop easier.
The unit is maintenance free. The motor mounts directly on the base plate so there is no V-belt, reducing operating costs and spare parts cost. The rugged metal frame protects components from damage. The Battery One system can also be used on Wacker Neuson’s single direction, battery-powered plates, rammers and internal backpack vibrator.
