The Multiquip EM966204 Square Axle U-Bolt 1-1/2 is a genuine OEM component designed for Essick Mixer series equipment. Sourced directly through Multiquip's authorized parts program, this u-bolt delivers the correct geometry and thread specification to mate precisely with the axle assembly as originally engineered. It is a direct-fit replacement for EM120SM Essick Mixer models, ensuring the axle is secured without guesswork or improvised hardware. DHS Equipment stocks this OEM part so you can get your mixer back in service with confidence.
Key Features
- OEM-Grade Fastener Integrity — Manufactured to the same material grade and thread specification as the original, maintaining the clamping force the axle assembly requires.
- Square-Bend Profile — The square-bend geometry matches the axle housing contour on Essick Mixer models, seating flush for a secure, stable clamp without shimming or rework.
- Confirmed Fitment for Essick Mixer Models — Verified for EM120SM series Essick Mixers; use part number EM966204 to confirm compatibility before ordering.
- Axle Stability Under Load — A correctly torqued u-bolt keeps the axle from shifting during operation; a worn or broken u-bolt can cause axle movement, uneven drum rotation, and accelerated wear on surrounding components.
- Tow Safety Relevance — On towable mixer configurations, the axle u-bolt is a structural retention fastener; replacing a cracked or stretched unit with a genuine OEM part supports safe towing and transport compliance.
A u-bolt is a fastener shaped like the letter U with threaded ends, used to clamp and secure a round or square axle tube to the mixer's frame or suspension bracket. On Essick concrete and mortar mixers, the square axle u-bolt holds the axle firmly in position so the drum can rotate consistently and the unit can be towed without axle movement. When a u-bolt stretches, cracks, or loses thread engagement, the axle can shift under load, causing vibration, uneven drum wear, and potential loss of control during transport.
