Axles for Yellow Plant & Heavy Equipment
TOSOG Yellow Plant Solutions
Heavy-Duty Axles for Construction, Mining & Industrial Machinery
At TOSOG Yellow Plant Solutions, we specialise in supplying robust, high-performance axlesΒ engineered to withstand extreme operating conditions, heavy loads, and continuous duty cycles common in demanding industries. Our axle solutions are purpose-built for use in construction, mining, quarrying, agriculture, transport, and industrial applications throughout South Africa and the broader African continent, where reliability and durability are non-negotiable.
Axles form a critical part of the drivetrain and load-bearing structure of heavy machinery. They are responsible for supporting machine weight, transmitting torque from the transmission and differential to the wheels, and ensuring stability, traction, and controlled movement over uneven and abrasive terrain. For this reason, all axles supplied by TOSOG are selected and engineered to deliver exceptional strength, precision alignment, long service life, and resistance to shock, vibration, and contamination.
We supply a comprehensive range of axle solutions, including:
-
OEM axles, manufactured to original equipment specifications for guaranteed fitment, performance, and compliance
-
High-quality aftermarket axles, offering OEM-equivalent or upgraded performance at a more cost-effective price point
-
Reconditioned axles, professionally rebuilt using quality components, thoroughly inspected, tested, and restored to serviceable standards
-
Complete axle assemblies, supplied fully built with differentials, hubs, bearings, seals, brakes, and mounting components for fast, reliable installation and reduced downtime
Whether you require a front axle or rear axle for load support and stability, a steering axle for precise machine control and manoeuvrability, a drive axle for efficient power transmission, or a complete differential-axle assembly for a full drivetrain replacement, TOSOG delivers dependable solutions designed to maximise uptime and productivity.
Our axles are suitable for a wide range of yellow plant and heavy equipment, including wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks (ADTs), graders, forklifts, telehandlers, agricultural machinery, and specialised industrial vehicles. Each solution is carefully matched to the machineβs operating environment, duty cycle, and load requirements, ensuring optimal performance, reduced wear, and lower total cost of ownership.
With a strong focus on quality assurance, technical support, and supply reliability, TOSOG is trusted by contractors, mining operations, fleet owners, and plant hire companies seeking axle solutions that perform consistently in Africaβs toughest working conditions.
What Is an Axle?
An axle is a critical drivetrain and undercarriage component that supports machine weight while transmitting torque from the transmission and differential to the wheels. In heavy equipment, axles are engineered to withstand:
-
Extreme torque loads
-
High impact and shock
-
Continuous operation in abrasive environments
-
Heavy payloads and uneven terrain
Axles directly affect machine stability, traction, braking efficiency, and overall drivetrain life.
