Description
Overview:
The Front Steering Ram Pin T13177 is a steel replacement pin for the steering cylinder on Thwaites 4, 5 and 6-ton site dumpers. It secures the steering ram at the pivot point and helps maintain precise, predictable steering by keeping the joint tight and aligned. Manufactured to OEM standards, it is suitable for heavy site use and routine maintenance where the original pin has worn, become loose, or is damaged. The pin measures 115 mm (4.53 inches) in length and 32 mm (1.26 inches) in diameter, making it a direct fit where these dimensions are specified. Suitable for a wide range of Thwaites machines, including many Perkins-powered variants, it offers a dependable, fuss-free solution to restore steering integrity.
