The Multiquip 21988 Lifting Bale Assembly J Fin is a genuine OEM component designed for JS36H55, JS36H90, J36-M30, JH55C, JH90C, and JS60C walk-behind and ride-on power trowels. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this part matches the original assembly specification for a drop-in replacement with no guesswork on fit or function. Compatible across multiple J-series trowel platforms, the 21988 is the correct OEM choice for operators maintaining Whiteman and International walk-behind models alongside J36-M30 ride-on units. Keep a verified replacement on hand to minimize unplanned downtime during finishing operations.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to the same material and dimensional standards as the original part, ensuring the bale assembly seats and operates exactly as designed on J-series trowels.
- Direct-Fit Replacement — Engineered to install into the existing mounting position on compatible trowel models without alteration, preserving the structural integrity of the lifting system.
- Broad J-Series Compatibility — Confirmed fitment for JS36H55, JS36H90, J36-M30, JH55C, JH90C, and JS60C walk-behind and ride-on power trowels.
- Structural Integrity Under Load — A properly functioning lifting bale assembly supports safe machine handling and transport; a worn or damaged bale introduces risk during lifting and rigging operations.
- Safe Lifting Compliance — The lifting bale is a load-bearing component used when hoisting the machine; using a genuine OEM assembly with the correct J Fin profile is essential for safe rigging practice on the jobsite.
The lifting bale assembly is the dedicated lift point on the trowel, allowing the machine to be safely hoisted, repositioned, or loaded using a crane, forklift, or rigging equipment. The J Fin profile on this assembly is specific to the mounting geometry of compatible J-series trowels, ensuring the bale aligns correctly with the frame and distributes load as intended. A cracked, bent, or missing lifting bale should be replaced immediately, as a compromised lift point creates a serious hazard whenever the machine is raised off the ground.
