The Wacker Neuson Axle is a genuine OEM component designed for the LTW6K, LTW8K, and LTW20Z series light towers. Sourced directly from Wacker Neuson, this axle meets the same specifications as the original part installed on your machine at the factory. It is confirmed to fit across Standard T4, Custom T4, Cold Weather T4, and Tier 4i configurations within the LTW light tower family, covering both fixed-mast and vertical-lift variants. Whether you are servicing a high-hour tower or completing a scheduled maintenance rebuild, part number ensures a direct, correct-fit replacement every time.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Construction: — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original dimensional and material standards, ensuring the axle seats, rotates, and loads exactly as the original component was engineered to do.
- Direct-Fit Replacement: — Matches the original mounting geometry of the LTW light tower undercarriage, dropping into place without rework or modification to surrounding hardware.
- Broad LTW Series Compatibility: — Fits LTW6K, LTW8K, LTW20Z1-V, LTW20Z3-V, and their S-variant counterparts across Standard, Custom, Cold Weather, and Tier 4i builds.
- Structural Integrity Under Load: — The axle is a primary load-bearing component of the tower's tow and positioning system; a worn or damaged axle can cause wheel play, uneven tracking, and instability during repositioning on site.
- Verified Part Number: — Ordering by OEM part number 5000172879 eliminates guesswork and ensures you receive the correct axle for your specific LTW configuration.
The axle on a Wacker Neuson light tower is a core structural component of the undercarriage, connecting the wheels to the frame and bearing the load of the entire unit during towing, maneuvering, and on-site positioning. It works in conjunction with the wheel hubs and frame mounts to keep the tower stable and rolling true across uneven terrain and jobsite surfaces. When an axle wears, bends, or fails, it can cause excessive wheel wobble, difficulty steering the unit into position, and in severe cases, an unsafe lean or instability in the tower's stance — making prompt replacement important for both machine function and operator safety.
