Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the 28700-051?
A: The 28700-051 is a drive wheel hub—a critical structural component of the drive wheel assembly in electric lift trucks that connects the motor drive system to the wheel.
Q: What is this part used for?
A: This hub provides the mechanical interface between the motor drive system and the drive wheel, enabling power transmission during equipment operation and load handling.
Q: What type of equipment uses this hub?
A: This part is designed for electric lift trucks, electric pallet jacks, and electric material handling equipment with drive wheel assemblies requiring factory-spec replacement components.
Q: Is this a consumable wear item or a permanent component?
A: Drive wheel hubs are durable structural components designed to last the operational life of the equipment under normal use. Replacement may be necessary if bearing surfaces or the drive interface becomes damaged.
Q: How do I know if my hub needs replacement?
A: Inspect for visible damage to bearing surfaces, excessive wear on the drive interface, or if the wheel assembly does not rotate smoothly during operation.
Q: What is this part made of?
A: Drive wheel hubs are typically manufactured from hardened steel or ductile iron engineered to withstand continuous motor torque and operational stress.
