How can I identify the correct driveshaft for my construction machine?

You need to know the exact brand, model, and year of manufacture of your machine, as well as the driveshaft position (front, rear, intermediate) and, if possible, the manufacturer's reference number stamped on the part. Our team can help you identify the correct reference by phone, guiding you on measurements to take: length, spline diameter, flange type.

Is a used driveshaft reliable for heavy-duty use?

Yes, provided it has been properly inspected before sale. At Codimatra, each driveshaft undergoes visual and dimensional inspection: condition of U-joints, needle bearing play, flange and hardware condition. Parts showing excessive wear are not sold. For heavy-duty use on dump trucks or loaders, our technicians can recommend references with the best remaining service potential.

Do you offer driveshafts for models not listed in your catalogue?

Yes. Our online catalogue reflects only part of our physical stock, which changes daily as we dismantle equipment. If your model isn't listed, fill out our inquiry form — our team will check availability and get back to you within 24 to 48 hours.

What is the difference between a driveshaft and a propeller shaft?

In everyday language, the two terms often refer to the same component. Technically, the propeller shaft is the complete assembly (tube + U-joint bearings at both ends), while the driveshaft specifically refers to the cross-type universal joint that allows angular flex. At Codimatra, we offer both: complete shafts or joints alone depending on your needs.

Are Codimatra's used driveshafts guaranteed?

Yes. All our used parts benefit from our warranty policy. Check our warranty page for specific terms, or ask our team when requesting a quote.
