Description
Overview:
The 50mm Steering Ram Seal Kit for Thwaites dumpers (part reference T7583) is a replacement seal set for the hydraulic steering cylinder on articulated site dumpers. Built from durable, hydraulic-grade materials, it restores effective sealing to stop fluid leaks, improve steering response, and reduce drift under load. The kit is intended for Thwaites articulated machines, commonly found on models such as the 4000 and 6000, and is suitable for demanding site conditions. With an outer diameter of approximately 50mm, it is sized for steering rams using this seal dimension. Designed for straightforward workshop fitting, it supports routine maintenance and overhauls where worn or damaged seals need replacing to keep the machine safe and controllable. Use this kit to maintain reliable, consistent steering performance and extend the service life of the steering cylinder.
Key Features:
- 50mm steering seal size to match Thwaites steering ram requirements
- Part reference T7583 for easy identification and ordering accuracy
- Helps stop hydraulic oil leaks and reduces steering wander or drift
- Durable materials suited to high-pressure hydraulic environments
- Good resistance to wear for longer intervals between services
- Supports smooth, precise steering on articulated dumpers
- Typically installed with standard workshop tools for minimal downtime
- Helps keep contaminants out of the cylinder to protect internal surfaces
- Suitable for tough site work, including mud, dust, and vibration
- A practical maintenance solution to extend steering ram service life
Typical Applications:
Used during planned maintenance or repairs of Thwaites articulated dumpers to reseal the steering cylinder. Ideal for fixing oil seepage, restoring steering feel, and preventing contamination-related wear in plant hire fleets, construction sites, landscaping work, utilities, and quarry operations where reliable manoeuvring is essential.
