Wacker Neuson’s new remote-controlled reversible plate, model DPU 130, produces 29,225 pounds of centrifugal force. The DPU 130 is operated by the company’s smart-control infrared remote control, enabling the operator to fully control the unit without being exposed to hand-arm vibrations, exhaust fumes, dust or noise. The smart control’s recognition sensor automatically stops the machine as soon as the safe distance between the operator and machine falls below two meters. Powered by a liquid-cooled, 33-hp Lombardini diesel engine, the DPU 130 weighs 2,612 pounds, has an operating width of 47.2 inches and can compact up to 24,025 square feet per hour.
