LTG27F Telehandler Drive Axle

Product Overview:

The LTG27F telehandler drive axle is engineered for telehandlers with a 3–3.5 ton lifting capacity, integrating drive, steering and braking functions into a single unit. Its landmark innovation is the built-in two-speed gearbox, compatible with either electric motor or hydraulic motor input, delivering superior fine control and outstanding off-road mobility for complete machines.This steering drive axle adopts a modular structure with flexibly adjustable connection dimensions tailored to OEM requirements, enabling rapid matching with telehandlers of various brands and platforms. Whether for precise positioning inside compact warehouses or heavy-load travel on muddy construction sites, this drive axle consistently delivers stable, reliable power and controllability.

Main Technical Parameters:

Product Features:

Integrated Two-Speed Gearbox, Industry-Leading Creep Performance:

The LTG27F telehandler drive axle innovatively integrates a two-speed gearbox within the axle housing. This design saves chassis space, reduces vehicle integration complexity, and allows direct connection to electric or hydraulic motors. Motor-driven actuation delivers ultra-precise low-speed creep control, eliminating the poor controllability issues of traditional mechanically driven telehandlers during fine positioning operations.

Seamless shifting between two speed ranges balances high-efficiency empty transit and powerful low-speed heavy-duty work:

Low-speed range delivers an extremely large reduction ratio for pinpoint creep movement in confined spaces or rough terrain, greatly lowering operator positioning difficulty;

High-speed range meets fast transit speed demands to boost overall working efficiency.

Integrated Service & Parking Wet Brakes with High Safety Margin:

This steering drive axle is fitted with built-in combined service and parking wet brakes that generate high braking torque with rapid response, significantly shortening emergency stopping distances. The brakes feature a normally closed design: hydraulic pressure counteracts spring force to release brakes during travel. When parking or the engine shuts down, springs automatically clamp friction discs for secure parking, eliminating rollaway risks.

The fully enclosed wet structure isolates brake components from dust and mud, maintaining consistent braking performance over long service life with low friction plate wear and extended maintenance intervals.

Central Bidirectional Steering Cylinder for Agile, Precise Handling:

Equipped with a centrally mounted bidirectional steering cylinder, the axle delivers high steering torque and instant response. Paired with high-angle steering knuckles, it achieves a far larger steering angle than conventional drive axles and drastically reduces the vehicle’s turning radius. Mobility and passability are greatly enhanced for operation inside narrow warehouses, tight construction alleys and woodlands. A center position sensor is also installed to ease operator effort during wheel centering.

Limited-Slip Differential Prevents Wheel Slip on Rough Ground:

A standard limited-slip differential automatically detects rotational speed differences between left and right wheels. When one wheel tends to slip on muddy, icy or gravel surfaces, the differential engages lockup instantly to guarantee reliable vehicle startup and traction. This configuration endows the telehandler drive axle with exceptional pulling power on unpaved surfaces including construction yards, farmland and mining sites.

High-Grade Alloy Steel Gears Deliver Robust Torque Output:

Main drive gears and planetary wheel-end gears are forged from premium alloy steel and subjected to carburizing and quenching heat treatment, combining high surface hardness with excellent core toughness. Optimized gear modification ensures even contact stress distribution, enabling the axle to withstand severe instantaneous impact and sustained heavy loads. It performs steadily during hill starts, steep climbing and obstacle crossing, expanding the machine’s off-road operating capacity.

Modular Structure for Compatibility with Diverse OEM Equipment:

The steering drive axle features a modular design that allows quick adjustment of dimensional and mounting configurations. Customers only need to provide overall vehicle connection parameters, and we can deliver customized matching solutions within one to two weeks, drastically shortening new model development cycles.

Application Scenarios & Competitive Advantages:

The LTG27F telehandler drive axle is primarily supplied for 3–5 ton telehandlers, agricultural loading & handling equipment, and other wheeled machinery requiring precise low-speed control and strong off-road performance.

During model selection, customers shall provide the complete machine’s maximum load capacity, maximum travel speed, maximum gradeability, drive type (electric or hydraulic motor), plus motor interface dimensions and rated parameters. Our technical team can assist with reduction ratio calculation, braking torque verification and steering angle analysis to recommend the most suitable configuration.

With its full suite of functional features, the drive axle excels in the following typical working conditions:

Material handling at construction sites: Frequent heavy-load travel and tight-space steering. The two-speed gearbox enables fine creep movement, while the large steering angle simplifies stacking and unloading.

Agricultural production & warehousing: Muddy storage yards and farm tracks. The limited-slip differential avoids wheel slip, and wet brakes prevent performance failure caused by mud and water intrusion.

Municipal works & emergency rescue: Fast transit paired with accurate stopping. Smooth high/low-speed shifting and normally closed brakes guarantee safe parking on slopes.

Mines & quarries: Heavy loads, bumpy terrain and heavy dust. Premium alloy steel gears and reinforced bearings deliver extended service life.

Manufacturing & Quality Assurance:

This steering drive axle is assembled on dedicated production lines, with critical processes including dynamic bearing preload measurement, gear mesh contact pattern inspection and wet brake air tightness testing. All finished units undergo bench loading tests covering transmission efficiency, noise, temperature rise, braking performance and shift smoothness before release from the factory.

The company holds ISO9001 quality management system certification and is equipped with precision inspection instruments such as coordinate measuring machines, spectrometers, metallographic analyzers and ultrasonic flaw detectors, ensuring consistent dimensional accuracy and stable quality for every LTG27 Ftelehandler drive axle.
