Thwaites 6 Tonne Alldrive Bottom Pin Kit

The Thwaites 6 Tonne Alldrive Bottom Pin Kit is a replacement centre pivot repair kit designed for use on pre-2001 Thwaites Alldrive 5, 6, and 7 tonne dumpers. The kit is engineered to restore the lower centre pivot assembly, a critical articulation point that allows the front and rear chassis sections to pivot while maintaining machine stability and steering control.

Manufactured for heavy-duty construction applications, the kit contains the essential components required to refurbish worn centre pivot assemblies and restore correct articulation, steering geometry, and chassis alignment. Centre pivot kits of this type are commonly fitted during major maintenance or when excessive movement develops within the dumper articulation joint.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION

• Restores the lower centre pivot assembly
• Maintains correct articulation between front and rear chassis sections
• Reduces excessive movement and wear in the pivot joint
• Supports safe steering and dumper handling characteristics
• Helps extend the service life of the chassis articulation system

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• Part Number: CPKIT9
• Type: Bottom centre pivot kit / bottom pin kit
• Function: Centre articulation joint refurbishment kit
• Application: Thwaites Alldrive dumpers
• Suitable For: Pre-2001 5 Tonne, 6 Tonne and 7 Tonne Alldrive models

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

Suitable for a range of Thwaites equipment, including:

• Thwaites Alldrive 5 Tonne dumpers (pre-2001)
• Thwaites Alldrive 6 Tonne dumpers (pre-2001)
• Thwaites Alldrive 7 Tonne dumpers (pre-2001)
• Front-tip and Power Swivel dumper variants
• Chassis articulation and centre pivot assemblies

Centre pivot kits are widely used during dumper refurbishment and maintenance programmes where wear has developed within the articulation joint due to prolonged operation in harsh site conditions.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Always confirm the correct machine model, serial number, and pivot pin diameter before ordering, as Thwaites dumpers utilise several different centre pivot arrangements depending on model and production year. CPKIT9 is intended for pre-2001 Alldrive 5, 6 and 7 tonne machines and differs from later centre pivot kits fitted to post-2001 dumpers. Excessive wear within the centre pivot assembly can lead to poor steering characteristics, chassis misalignment, accelerated tyre wear, and increased stress on surrounding components. For best results, inspect the pivot housing, retaining hardware, and lubrication points during installation.
