Oshkosh PLS 10x10 Heavy Tactical Truck Driving Axle – Axle 4

Heavy-duty military-grade rear axle assembly manufactured by Oshkosh Defense. This axle is specifically engineered for the M1074 / M1075 Palletized Load System (PLS) 10x10 heavy logistical vehicles used by the U.S. Military. This unit corresponds to axle position 4 (the middle axle within the rear tridem axle cluster).

Built to strict military specifications (MIL-SPEC), this axle is designed for extreme payload capacities and severe off-road operations under the harshest global conditions.

Key Features & Technical Characteristics:

• Heavy-Duty Construction: Features a massive, rugged cast-steel housing engineered to withstand extreme high-tonnage loads and severe impacts.
• Hub Reduction: Equipped with planetary gear reduction at the wheel ends to maximize torque output and prevent axle twisting.
• Thru-Drive Differential: Features a rear-facing pass-through drive flange (thru-drive pinion) to transfer power directly to the trailing axle (Axle 5).
• Suspension Compatibility: Outfitted with heavy-duty mounting pads designed for the mechanical Hendrickson leaf spring suspension system.
• System Integration: Ready for connection to the Central Tire Inflation System (CTIS) and pneumatic differential locks.
• Steering Configuration: Rigid/straight configuration (non-steering axle).
