XT DEPENDABILITY DRIVE AXLE
- The drive axle is isolated with left and right side casted hangers constructed from ductile iron (flexible) – this design is to withstand heavy loads and absorb shock loads.
- The drive axle also provides support for the mast by using the J – hook pin mounts on each hanger – this allows easier mast installation, maintenance and replacement
- The axle assembly is ‘full floating’ in design which means the weight of the truck is carried by the axle housing, not the axle shafts
