Our collaborative approach, working with our customers, means that our hubs and spindles are focused on innovative designs and problem-solving to provide solutions that maximise productivity and up-time.  We constantly work to design and test products which match the latest equipment trends, including higher payload capability, increased speed, lower vehicle weight and higher technical specification.  We manufacture a range of customisable hub systems for offhighway machinery, with capacities ranging from 500 lbs (227 kg) to 57,000 lbs (25,855 kg). The largest in the range is ideal for single-axle vehicles carrying out heavy duty applications, such as grain carts, slurry wagons and towed scrapers. The hub can be fully customised, with an option to include disc brake components if required.  Bent and straight spindles can be fully customised to specified dimensions. Cultivation; Straddle and standard designs are available with a range of bolt configurations. Our hubs are all sold complete with bearings, seals, hub caps and nuts and can be supplied machined and cupped only or in assembled and greased hub and spindle units.
