The Multiquip 4596 Steering Cylinder Assembly is a genuine OEM component designed for the MD80 series hydraulic ride-on power trowel. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this assembly matches the original specification installed at the factory, ensuring a straight-forward swap with no improvised fitment. Confirmed for the MD80, this part restores full directional control to your machine and gets it back to work finishing concrete at full efficiency.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Hydraulic Integrity — Built to the exact pressure ratings and bore tolerances required for the MD80 hydraulic drive system, ensuring consistent force output through the steering circuit.
- Direct-Mount Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and port configurations on the MD80, allowing the cylinder to bolt in and connect to existing hydraulic lines without alteration.
- Confirmed MD80 Fitment — Verified for the Multiquip MD80 mid-sized hydrostatic ride-on trowel series.
- Restored Directional Precision — A functioning steering cylinder delivers smooth, responsive machine movement across the slab; a worn or leaking cylinder causes sluggish steering, uneven trowel paths, and operator fatigue.
- Hydraulic Safety Compliance — The steering cylinder is a load-bearing hydraulic component; using a correctly rated OEM assembly maintains the integrity of the machine's drive control under full operating pressure.
The steering cylinder assembly is the hydraulic actuator responsible for directing the movement of the ride-on trowel across the concrete surface. It converts hydraulic pressure from the machine's hydrostatic drive system into controlled linear force, allowing the operator to steer and position the trowel accurately during finishing passes. When this cylinder leaks, loses pressure, or fails mechanically, steering becomes unresponsive or erratic, compromising finish quality and making the machine difficult and unsafe to control.
