What is a Serial Number?

A serial number is a distinct identification code given to each machine by the manufacturer. This unique number enables precise tracking of the individual unit, making it essential for various purposes such as warranty claims, inventory control, and determining the required parts for repairs.

Prior to 2012, Wacker Neuson machines had a 7/8 digit serial number.

From 2012, Wacker Neuson introduced a 17-digit serial number, which contained more information for easier machine identification.

• Manufacturer Code: Identifies the manufacturer and country of origin.
• Machine Model: Specifies the type of equipment.
• Internal Model Designation: A code representing the specific model.
• Check Letter: Used for verification purposes.
• Production Site: Indicates the specific production facility.
• Serial Number: A unique identifier for the individual unit.
