Hyster Load Wheel Axle HY2039868 – E-6894

The load wheel axle is the machined shaft that supports a Hyster load wheel and lets it rotate under the weight of a loaded pallet. Mounted through the wheel assembly in the running gear, it holds the wheel bearing in position and transfers the truck's load path from the frame down into the rolling contact at the floor. A straight, hardened shaft like this takes constant radial pressure and side thrust as the truck maneuvers, so a scored or worn axle is a common reason a load wheel develops play or begins to drag. This Hyster axle fits Hyster lift truck load wheel assemblies.
