Excavator Parts That You Need to Know More About
When it comes to maintaining or repairing your excavator, knowing which parts are most crucial to its functionality can help you prioritise.
These components play essential roles in the efficiency, longevity, and performance of your excavator, and understanding their importance is key to getting the best out of your equipment.
Final Drives: The Powerhouse of Your Excavator
The Final Drive is an essential part of any excavator and comprises two parts: the Hydraulic Motor and the Gearbox. It is responsible for converting hydraulic energy into mechanical motion, enabling the movement of the track.
Without a Final Drive, your excavator would face significant operational challenges, making it one of the most important components in ensuring your machine’s mobility.
Final Drives are a major investment, so it’s crucial that they last as long as possible. As suppliers and refurbishes of genuine, original equipment manufacturer (OEM), and FDC Final Drives, we are the industry’s leading experts in our field and understand the product inside and out.
Whether you’re looking for genuine/OEM parts, a more cost-effective aftermarket solution, need your drives modified to meet a specific performance requirement, or are building a machine from scratch, our technicians can configure systems to meet your exact specifications and price points.
