The Wacker Neuson Rear Strut is a genuine OEM component designed for the CRT48 series ride-on concrete trowels, including the CRT48-35V, CRT48-34V, CRT48-33K, and CRT48-33K DF dual-fuel variants. As a direct factory replacement, this strut is manufactured to the same specifications as the original, ensuring a correct, hassle-free installation. Fitment covers both standard and EU-configuration CRT48-35V machines, as well as the full range of 1220mm/48-inch ride-on trowel builds in the CRT48-34V and CRT48-31V lines. When it comes to structural support components on professional finishing equipment, trusting a genuine OEM part like the is the straightforward choice.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Structural Integrity — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original material and dimensional standards for the rear strut position, ensuring correct load-bearing performance on the CRT48 platform.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting points and hardware interfaces on CRT48 ride-on trowels, so installation follows the standard service procedure without modification.
- Broad CRT48 Series Fitment — Compatible with CRT48-35V (including EU configuration), CRT48-34V, CRT48-33K, CRT48-33K DF, and CRT48-31V machines across multiple serial ranges.
- Frame Alignment Assurance — A correctly fitted rear strut maintains proper chassis geometry on the ride-on trowel; a damaged or worn strut can introduce flex and misalignment that affects trowel head positioning and finish quality.
- Dual-Fuel Variant Coverage — Explicitly covers the CRT48-33K DF dual-fuel configuration, so operators of gas/propane-capable machines can source the correct part with confidence.
The rear strut on a ride-on concrete trowel is a structural support member that connects and stabilizes the rear section of the machine's frame. It helps maintain the rigidity of the chassis under the dynamic loads generated during troweling operations, keeping the operator platform and drive components properly aligned. When a rear strut becomes cracked, bent, or otherwise compromised, it can allow unwanted flex in the frame, which may affect handling, trowel head contact with the slab, and the consistency of the finished surface.
