Description
Overview:
This Forward/Reverse Lever Switch is a non-genuine replacement part for Benford and Thwaites site dumpers. It provides precise directional control, allowing the operator to select forward or reverse reliably from the cab console. Built for harsh site conditions, the assembly features a robust metal lever with a durable moulded grip and a sturdy switch body engineered to resist shock and vibration. It is well suited to popular machines such as the Mach 145 and 5 ton (approximately 5 tonne) models, helping to restore consistent drive selection when the original control wears or fails. The switch replaces OEM part number 8000-2634 and matches the mounting and operating style commonly used on these dumpers, helping maintain safe manoeuvring and predictable machine behaviour on busy construction sites.
