The Thwaites Pedal Spring (OEM T7089) is a genuine replacement control system component designed for use on selected Thwaites site dumpers. The pedal spring provides the return force required to return the pedal to its resting position after operation, ensuring smooth, consistent pedal movement and reliable machine control.
Manufactured to OEM specifications from high-quality spring steel, the pedal spring is engineered to withstand repeated compression cycles, vibration, and the demanding conditions encountered on construction and civil engineering sites. Precision-manufactured for an accurate fit, it is designed as a direct replacement component to restore the correct operation and feel of the pedal assembly.
FUNCTION AND OPERATION
- Returns the pedal to its neutral position after operation
- Maintains smooth and consistent pedal movement
- Supports reliable machine control
- Withstands repeated compression and extension cycles
- Resistant to vibration and demanding operating conditions
- Designed for heavy-duty construction applications

Always verify compatibility using the machine model and serial number before ordering, as pedal springs can vary in length, diameter, spring rate, and application between machine models and production revisions.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Always confirm the correct OEM part number, machine model, serial number, and pedal assembly specification before ordering, as pedal springs are manufactured to precise dimensions and tension requirements. Installing the correct component is essential to ensure smooth pedal operation, reliable control response, and safe machine operation.
Common signs of a worn or damaged pedal spring include reduced return tension, sluggish pedal movement, deformation, corrosion, cracking, or complete spring failure. When replacing the pedal spring, it is recommended to inspect the pedal pivot, bushes, linkage, mounting points, and associated fasteners for signs of wear or damage. Replacing worn associated components at the same time will help maximise the reliability and service life of the complete pedal assembly.
