The Multiquip 18040 Drive Hub is a genuine OEM component designed for WBH-16, WBH-16EAWD, WPB16, WPB16E, and WBH-16E series power buggies. As a direct OEM replacement, it is manufactured to the same specifications as the original part, ensuring correct fit and function across compatible Whiteman power buggy models. DHS Equipment supplies this part direct, so you can verify the 18040 part number and order with confidence for your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction — Manufactured to original Multiquip specifications, delivering the same load-bearing integrity and dimensional accuracy as the factory-installed drive hub.
- Direct Replacement Fit — Mounts in the same position as the original hub, connecting directly to the drive system without modification to your power buggy's drivetrain.
- Broad Whiteman Power Buggy Compatibility — Confirmed fitment for WBH-16, WBH-16EAWD, WBH-16E, WPB16, and WPB16E models, covering both standard and AWD configurations.
- Sustained Drive Performance — A correctly functioning drive hub transfers power efficiently to the wheel, keeping the buggy moving under load; a worn or damaged hub causes slippage, uneven drive, and loss of control on the pour.
- Drivetrain Integrity — Proper hub engagement is critical when operating a loaded power buggy on a slope or uneven terrain — using an OEM-spec component maintains the mechanical reliability the drivetrain depends on.
The drive hub is a central mechanical component that transfers rotational force from the drivetrain to the wheel assembly, allowing the power buggy to move under its own power. It acts as the interface between the motor or transmission output and the driven wheel, meaning any wear, cracking, or dimensional change directly affects how effectively the machine can carry and transport concrete loads. When the drive hub degrades, operators typically notice reduced drive response, wheel slippage, or complete loss of propulsion — all of which interrupt productivity on an active pour.
