Wheel drive motors are built to carry the machine, not just turn a shaft. They use a heavy bolt-on wheel flange and an oversized bearing pack, so the wheel mounts straight to the motor and the motor takes the vehicle load - no separate hub, bearing housing or drive shaft.

What these suit

Self-propelled and towed machines: sweepers and scrubbers, small loaders and skid steers, orchard and vineyard platforms, drill rigs, elevating work platforms, conveyors on tracks, and any purpose-built machine where a wheel needs its own hydraulic drive.

Choosing one

Start with the torque you need at the wheel - that is what sets displacement, and it is worth working back from wheel diameter and machine weight rather than guessing. Then check the wheel flange bolt pattern and pilot against your rim, and the shaft or flange type. Tapered shafts suit a single-nut wheel hub, keyed and splined shafts suit a coupling or sprocket drive.

Brakes and drain lines

Wheel drives on anything that can roll away want a brake. Ask us about the matching multi-disc brake options before you order. Most of this range needs a case drain line back to tank - running one without it will push oil past the shaft seal.

What these replace

Interchanges with Danfoss OMEW and OMTW, Char-Lynn wheel motor series, White RE and RS wheel drives, and the Parker TF and TG wheel mount range. Cross-references are on each listing.
