Multiquip 2198 Lifting Bale Assembly

The Multiquip 2198 Lifting Bale Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for a wide range of Whiteman and Multiquip power trowel models, including the HTXD6i, STXD6i, HTX44Y4, HTX44Y5, MD80, and HHX series ride-on trowels, as well as walk-behind models including the JH55C, JH90C, JS60C, B46, BH90C, BH11C, BS90C, HDA Series, and several International series units. As a direct OEM replacement sourced from Multiquip, part number 2198 is built to the same specifications as the original hardware installed at the factory. Whether you are servicing a hydrostatic ride-on trowel or a walk-behind finishing machine, this assembly provides the correct lift point for safe machine handling. Confirm your model code against the fitment list before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Key Features

• Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to original Multiquip specifications, ensuring the assembly carries the same load rating and dimensional profile as the part it replaces.
• Direct-Install Replacement — Mounts to existing attachment points on compatible trowel frames with no rework to surrounding hardware required.
• Broad Trowel Family Coverage — Fits HTX, STX, MD80, HHX, and multiple Whiteman and International walk-behind series, making it a single-SKU solution across a large fleet.
• Structural Integrity for Safe Lifting — A worn or damaged lifting bale creates a hazardous lift point; replacing it with a proper OEM assembly restores the intended structural margin for machine transport and positioning.
• Correct Lift-Point Geometry — The bale is sized and shaped to work with standard lifting equipment used on trowel service work, keeping the load balanced during hoisting.

The lifting bale assembly provides the dedicated hoisting point used when transporting or repositioning a power trowel by crane, forklift, or lifting strap. It transfers the full weight of the machine through a single engineered attachment, so its structural condition directly affects operator safety during any lift. A cracked weld, deformed profile, or corroded bale should be replaced immediately — the 2198 assembly restores that critical anchor point to OEM condition.
