Description
Overview:
The Steering Ram Gaiter T10160 is a protective rubber bellows for the steering cylinder on Thwaites site dumpers. Made from tough, flexible black rubber, it seals out dust, mud, grit and spray to help protect the ram, seals and joints from premature wear. Correctly sized for Thwaites steering arrangements, it keeps the mechanism cleaner and running smoothly in harsh site conditions. Suitable for a wide range of Thwaites models, including MACH 220 and MACH 221, it is a simple, effective service part for regular maintenance. Dimensions for reference: height 32 mm (1.26 inches), outer diameter 65 mm (2.56 inches), inner diameter 50 mm (1.97 inches). A practical fit-and-forget component for keeping steering performance consistent and reducing downtime across busy fleets and single machines alike.
Key Features:
- Durable black rubber bellows resists tearing, abrasion and common site contaminants
- Shields the steering ram and seals from dust, mud, grit and water ingress
- Helps extend steering component life and maintain smooth operation
- Correct dimensions for Thwaites installations: 32 mm (1.26 inches) height, 65 mm (2.56 inches) O/D, 50 mm (1.97 inches) I/D
- Simple to fit and replace during routine maintenance with minimal tools
- Bellows profile allows full steering travel without binding
- Suitable for demanding weather and wash-down conditions typically found on construction sites
- Cost-effective preventative protection to reduce unplanned repairs
Typical Applications:
Ideal for replacing cracked or perished steering boots during service on Thwaites dumpers operating on construction sites, landscaping projects, quarries and utilities work. Helps maintain steering precision after heavy use, frequent wash-downs, or exposure to abrasive materials. Useful for fleet maintenance schedules and fast workshop turnarounds.
