Wacker Neuson’s APU3050e is a first battery-powered reversible plate that delivers a practical solution for compaction tasks. This emission-free plate meets the needs of jobsites with environmental and noise guidelines. The APU3050e is ideal for the rental market because it is easy to operate. It is simply started with a push of a button and is comfortable to operate using the intuitive guide bar that allows continuous change of direction and speed by just moving the handle. The machine is designed for excellent handling and maneuverability on soil and asphalt. The low working height makes it ideal for working indoors, in trenches and other confined areas.
The Battery One system, that powers the plate, can also be used on other Wacker Neuson battery-powered rammers and plates, making it very flexible for the rental center. Depending on the application, one battery charge may be sufficient for smaller applications, but having two batteries and a quick charger available is recommended for larger jobs, which is typical for a reversible plate. Battery changes are easy with no special tools necessary.
The APU3050e required minimal maintenance since the motor is mounted directly to the base plate and does not require a v-belt, reducing operating costs and spare parts expenses, another important benefit for rental center operators.
