Steer Tire Hub – RA1110802

Raymond specifies this steer tire hub for the single steer wheel position common to its reach trucks and order pickers, where it forms the mechanical link between the tire and the steering axle spindle. The hub houses the wheel bearings that let the tire rotate freely while carrying the steering input down from the tiller or power steering unit to the wheel itself, so the truck actually turns the direction the operator commands.

At 35 pounds, it is a substantial cast component built to carry the combined load of vehicle weight and cornering force concentrated on a single steer wheel, a heavier duty than a load wheel hub typically sees. Bearing wear inside a steer hub shows up as play or wobble in the tire, uneven or accelerated tread wear, and a looser, less precise feel in the steering response. Replacing a worn hub restores tight steering geometry and even tire contact, both of which matter directly to how predictably the truck tracks and turns under load.

This hub is sized to the steer wheel position on Raymond trucks specifying this exact bore and mount, making it a direct swap for the worn original it replaces.
