Why you can trust us: full transparency

One excavator often takes several final drives. It is very common that different final drives fit the same excavator model. We check all options with you based on dimensions and the type plate, and offer the drive that suits your machine and the way you use it.

Type

The type describes how the drive is built: number of hydraulic ports, speeds and dimensions such as bolt pattern and sprocket. It has to match your machine. We check that before you get a quote.

Quality

Many types are available in different manufacturer qualities. If your excavator works every day, a high-end drive pays off. If you only need it now and then or for private jobs, a lower-priced option is often enough.

Transparency

Many sellers only advertise the lowest price and do not say which quality is behind it. We show you the options openly, with price and difference. You decide what suits your work.

Over 21 years of experience and more than 12,000 final drives sold: we know which drive fits where.

When the final drive causes trouble

All guides

The most common signs of a failing final drive are loss of power on one side, oil at the sprocket and grinding noises. The drive is not always the cause: the pump, the rotary joint or an over-tensioned track produce similar symptoms. Changing the gear oil every 250 to 500 operating hours prevents a lot of damage.

Troubleshooting

Final drive has no power

If only one side lacks power, the cause is usually that side's travel motor, the rotary joint (swivel) or the control valve. If both sides are weak, …Troubleshooting

Final drive leaking

If oil escapes between housing and sprocket, the floating seal is usually worn. If the travel motor is oily, it is the ports, plugs or cover. Act …Decision

Repair or replace a final drive?

A repair pays off when only the seals leak and motor and gearbox still run smoothly. If there are metal chips in the oil, the gearbox rattles or the …

Final drive FAQ

What is the difference between final drive, travel motor and track drive?

They usually mean the same part: the hydraulic motor with a planetary gearbox that turns the sprocket. Strictly speaking, travel motor only means the hydraulic part. We always supply the complete unit. More in the guide travel motor, final drive, track drive.

How fast will I get the drive?

Most drives are in stock in our warehouse in Nuremberg. Orders confirmed by 12 noon ship the same day. We ship by freight forwarder from our warehouse in Nuremberg, Germany. Within Germany it usually arrives in 1 to 2 working days, other European countries take a few days longer. The exact delivery time is in your quote.

Which final drive fits my excavator?

Some excavators take several different drives, depending on year and version. Tell us model and speeds, a photo is welcome. We confirm personally which drive fits and then send you the quote.

Where do you deliver?

Within Europe. We do not ship to the USA or overseas.

Why is there no shopping cart?

Because one excavator often takes several drives. We check which one is right before quoting and show you several options on request, so you avoid a wrong purchase and a return. Where a price is shown it is on the product page, the binding price comes with your quote, usually within 12 hours.

Is the final drive available in different qualities?

Yes. Many excavators take several drives, in different types and manufacturer qualities. On request we offer you several options: a high-end drive for daily use, a lower-priced option for occasional or private jobs. You see price and difference and decide yourself.

What warranty do I get?

Every new final drive comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty. To keep it valid, have the drive fitted by a specialist workshop: if an installation error occurs, the warranty is void.

Do you sell rebuilt or used final drives?

No. We only supply brand new final drives, complete with travel motor and planetary gearbox. Whether repairing your old drive still makes sense is covered in our guide on repair or replacement.

Are your prices net?

Yes. Where a price is shown it is net, excl. VAT, plus shipping. If you order two drives for both sides of the machine, you get 10 % off each drive.
