Jungheinrich 50043973 Drum, Brake for CD/CL 16-20 Series

Overview

The 50043973 Drum, Brake is a replacement brake drum for Jungheinrich electric counterbalance forklifts. Mounted at the wheel end of the drive axle, the drum rotates with the wheel and provides the machined friction surface against which the brake shoes press when the service brake is applied. Heat, scoring and general wear gradually distort this surface and reduce braking performance. Fitting a new 50043973 Drum, Brake restores smooth, even braking and helps protect the shoes and other brake components. This part is specified for the Jungheinrich CD 16 C, CD 20 C and the wider CD/CL 16-20 series.

Compatibility

The 50043973 for CD trucks covers the following Jungheinrich models:

• CD 16 C – electric counterbalance forklift in the 1.6 t capacity class
• CD 20 C – electric counterbalance forklift in the 2.0 t capacity class
• CD/CL 16-20 series – CD and CL chassis variants covering the 16 to 20 capacity range

These models share one 50043973 part number, so the same brake drum serves the whole group. Before ordering, check the model and serial number on your truck’s identification plate and compare it with your parts documentation. If you are unsure whether the 50043973 Drum, Brake suits your machine, our team can help you confirm fitment before you buy.

Quality and Reliability

The 50043973 Drum, Brake is manufactured to match the original Jungheinrich specification for this application:

• A precision-machined inner braking surface for consistent contact with the brake shoes
• Accurate dimensions and mounting fit to help minimise vibration and brake judder
• A robust casting that copes with the heat cycles typical of warehouse and industrial duty

Choosing a correctly specified brake drum instead of an ill-fitting alternative supports predictable stopping performance and even shoe wear across the axle.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the old drum for scoring, cracks, out-of-round wear or an enlarged inner diameter, and replace it once it reaches the wear limit in the service manual
• If one drum is heavily worn, check the drum on the opposite side as well; uneven drums can make the truck pull under braking
• Clean the hub mating face before fitting so the new drum seats squarely
• Examine the brake shoes, return springs and adjusters at the same time and renew worn components together
• Tighten the wheel fasteners to the specified torque and test the brakes carefully before returning the forklift to service
