The Multiquip 20697 Front Access Panel is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HTX44, STX55, STXD6i, and HTXD6i hydrostatic ride-on power trowels.

This panel is confirmed to fit the HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, STXD6i, HTXD6i, and STX55Y6 models. Sourcing the genuine Multiquip 20697 means you get a part built to the same standard as what left the factory floor.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to Multiquip's original design specifications, delivering the correct panel geometry, material grade, and hardware compatibility for a clean, secure fit.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Aligns with the existing mounting points on STX and HTX series trowels, allowing straightforward panel swap without drilling or reworking the frame.
- Broad HTX and STX Series Compatibility — Verified fitment across HTX44K4, HTX44K5, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, STXD6i, HTXD6i, and STX55Y6 hydrostatic ride-on trowels.
- Protects Internal Components — Properly fitted access panels shield engine, hydraulic, and drivetrain components from debris, concrete dust, and jobsite moisture that accelerate wear.
- Structural Integrity on a Working Machine — A damaged or missing front access panel exposes critical systems during operation; replacing it promptly keeps internal assemblies protected and the machine running at full capacity.
The front access panel on an HTX or STX hydrostatic ride-on trowel serves as a protective enclosure for the machine's forward-facing internal systems, including hydraulic lines, engine connections, and related hardware. It provides technicians with quick access during servicing while shielding those components from concrete splatter, dust, and impact during normal use. When a panel is cracked, warped, or missing entirely, internal components are left exposed to conditions that can cause accelerated corrosion, hydraulic contamination, and unplanned mechanical failures.
