Description
Overview:
The Pivot Bearing for Thwaites 1 Tonne dumpers is a genuine replacement component engineered to restore smooth, accurate articulation at the chassis pivot. Built from robust, wear‐resistant steel and manufactured to OEM tolerances, it supports the high radial and axial loads experienced in daily site use. This bearing helps maintain steering accuracy, reduces play at the centre joint, and protects adjoining components by distributing loads evenly. Supplied as OEM No. T101438, it is specifically designed for the Thwaites M201 and M202 platforms, ensuring a precise fit without modification. Choosing a genuine Thwaites part helps preserve machine reliability, extend service life, and keep maintenance straightforward for workshop and site teams.
