APU-Reihe Reversible vibratory plates with battery drive: Maintenance-free and efficient thanks to the DireX direct drive
The APU series is a technological milestone: As the first reversible vibratory plates worldwide, the battery-powered vibratory plates of the APU series are particularly efficient and completely maintenance-free as a result of the DireX direct drive. The emission-free drive and the low overall height make it the ideal compaction equipment for shoring in trenches. The APU series has excellent operational properties on soil and asphalt, and provides a high degree of operating comfort, for example through the sturdy, integrated wheel set and the continuously adjustable forward and reverse travel speeds.

Features May Include: 

Starts with a push of a button

• The battery can be started easily and reliably with the push of a button, even at low temperatures or at altitudes.
• Starting with the push of a button is much more convenient than starting with pulling a cable.

No exhaust emissions

• The operator is not exposed to any exhaust emissions. Therefore, the machine can be used without restrictions in trenches, tunnels and interior spaces. For the operator, work becomes more pleasant and healthy than with fuel-operated machines.
• Because the machines are emission-free, new applications open up in areas with special requirements for environmental friendliness.

All-round protection due to steel cover

• The upper mass is completely protected by a steel cover. As a result of this, damage is prevented.

Efficient drive system DireX

• The Wacker Neuson DireX direct drive does not require a V-belt and thus achieves high efficiency and long running times.
• The V-belt as a typical wear part is eliminated, thereby reducing operating costs and costs for spare parts.

BatteryOne battery system

• BatteryOne is a standardized and user-friendly battery system that focuses on the CO₂-free and sustainable use of construction equipment.
• BatteryOne batteries and battery chargers can not only be used in all battery-powered electric equipment by Wacker Neuson, but also in the construction equipment of other manufacturers. The idea: A battery standard simplifies construction site operations enormously, as only one battery and one charging system need to be considered in construction site logistics.

Integrated wheel set

• The vibratory plate has durable integrated transport wheels. This makes moving the machine on the job site easier. This saves time during the construction process.

Long running time with one battery charge

• In many typical applications, the battery capacity allows for application throughout an entire workday.

Removable battery

• The battery can be easily removed without tools and used in another machine. This makes it quick and easy to use a single battery for serveral machines on the construction site.
• It is possible to swap a discharged battery for a charged one very easily and quickly on the construction site.

Sturdy and durable

• The vibratory plate is made of heavy-duty, wear resistant materials. Due to this, it achieves a long service life. For example, the base plate is made of nodular cast iron (GJS700).
• Even after a longer operating time, the vibratory plate reaches a high resale value. Investment in this machine is thus very economical.

Maintenance-free electric motor

• Maintenance work is completely eliminated compared to combustion engines For example, there are no problems with dirt accumulation or inferior oil. This significantly reduces maintenance effort and costs over the long service life of the machine.
