The Multiquip 48356 Spider Assembly 6-Blade RH Long is a genuine OEM component designed for the MD80 mid-sized hydrostatic ride-on power trowel. As a direct factory replacement, part 48356 maintains the exact blade geometry and right-hand orientation required by the MD80 rotor system. DHS Equipment supplies this part straight from Multiquip's authorized parts network, so you can be confident you're getting the correct assembly for your machine.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Multiquip's exact tolerances for blade arm length, hub geometry, and right-hand orientation — critical factors that directly affect blade pitch consistency and finish quality.
- Six-Blade Configuration: — The six-arm spider matches the MD80's rotor layout precisely, ensuring all blades seat and pitch in unison without adjustment or shimming.
- Right-Hand Specific: — This is the RH Long variant; using the correct handedness prevents uneven blade loading and rotor imbalance on the MD80's hydrostatic drive system.
- MD80 Fitment Confirmed: — Verified for the Multiquip MD80 mid-sized hydrostatic ride-on power trowel series; always cross-reference part number 48356 with your machine's serial tag before ordering.
- Finish Quality Protection: — A worn or bent spider causes uneven blade contact, leaving drag marks or chatter patterns in the concrete surface; replacing with a genuine assembly restores a flat, consistent finish pass.
The spider assembly is the central hub that connects the trowel's gearbox output to its finishing blades. Each arm of the spider holds one blade in position and transfers the rotational force that floats and finishes the concrete surface. When a spider arm bends, cracks, or wears at the blade mounting point, blades lose consistent contact with the slab — resulting in uneven finish quality, increased vibration through the machine frame, and accelerated wear on surrounding drivetrain components. Replacing a damaged spider promptly keeps the rotor balanced and the blade pitch uniform across the full sweep of the trowel head.
