Final Drives for Earthmoving Equipment & Yellow Plant

High-Performance Travel Motors & Planetary Final Drives | TOSOG Yellow Plant Solutions

At TOSOG Yellow Plant Solutions, we specialise in the supply of robust, high-performance final drives engineered to deliver maximum torque output, exceptional reliability, and extended service life in the most demanding operating conditions. Our final drives are purpose-built to withstand extreme loads, abrasive environments, high shock forces, and continuous duty cycles, making them ideal for use across earthmoving, mining, quarrying, construction, infrastructure, and heavy industrial applications throughout South Africa and the African continent.

Our range of final drives is designed to provide efficient power transmission from the hydraulic system to the tracks or wheels, ensuring smooth, controlled machine travel, improved traction, and reduced stress on upstream drivetrain components. By combining precision-engineered planetary gear sets, high-strength housings, hardened gears, heavy-duty bearings, and advanced sealing systems, our final drives offer superior resistance to wear, overheating, contamination, and premature failure.

TOSOG final drives are suitable for a wide variety of crawler and tracked machines, including tracked excavators, bulldozers, track loaders, drill rigs, pipelayers, crushers, and mining support equipment. They are engineered to perform reliably in high-load, low-speed applications, where consistent torque delivery and durability are critical to productivity and machine availability. Our solutions ensure stable movement on uneven terrain, reduced track slippage, and improved machine control, even under the harshest working conditions.

To meet diverse operational and budgetary requirements, we supply OEM final drives, high-quality aftermarket alternatives, professionally refurbished units, and complete travel motor assemblies. Each option is carefully selected and supported to ensure optimal performance, compatibility, and longevity. Our refurbished final drives are rebuilt using precision-matched components, quality seals, and rigorous testing procedures, offering a reliable and cost-effective alternative to new units without sacrificing performance or operational safety.

By offering a comprehensive range of final drive solutions, TOSOG enables customers to minimise downtime, reduce total cost of ownership, and extend the operational life of their equipment. Our technical expertise, model-specific matching, and application-based recommendations ensure that every final drive supplied is fit for purpose, durable, and aligned with real-world operating demands.

What Is a Final Drive?

A final drive (also known as a travel motor, track drive, or planetary drive) is the last stage of the drivetrain in tracked and some wheeled heavy equipment. It converts hydraulic power into mechanical torque, transmitting power to the tracks or wheels.

Core Functions of a Final Drive:

• Converts hydraulic pressure into rotational force

• Reduces speed while increasing torque

• Drives tracks or wheels efficiently

• Handles extreme loads and shock forces

• Protects upstream drivetrain components

Without a reliable final drive, heavy equipment cannot move effectively or safely.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a final drive and a travel motor?

A travel motor includes the hydraulic motor, while the final drive often refers to the planetary gearbox. Many machines use a combined unit.

Can you match final drives using serial numbers?

Yes. We identify correct final drives using machine model, serial number, and application.

Do refurbished final drives perform reliably?

When rebuilt with quality components and tested properly, refurbished final drives offer excellent performance at reduced cost.

How long does a final drive last?

With proper maintenance, final drives can last thousands of operating hours, depending on load, environment, and service intervals.

Do you supply seals and internal parts?

Yes. We also supply final drive seals, bearings, gears, and repair kits.
