Steel Wheel Hub Specification Example for Export Programmes: Heavy Duty
Steel Wheel Hub Specification Example for Export Programmes: Heavy Duty
This is a worked specification for steel wheel hub in a heavy duty programme. It is the document we would send a buyer who asks what exactly they are getting: the material, the dimensions that are actually controlled, the finish, and the checks that happen before anything is packed.
The heavy duty version exists because the duty cycle on export programmes is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a supplier who changed material without saying so.
Example specification

| Sampling | 14 working days, 3 days per revision |
| Compliance | ISO 9001 |
How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Titanium Alloy, in this example.
- List the dimensions that are actually controlled and the tolerance on each.
- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- surface grinding
- anodising
- robot welding
- ultrasonic cleaning
- assembly line testing
- CNC machining
Where this example applies
Programmes that run heavy duty most often specify this build for export programmes. Related applications include camper conversions, delivery vans, construction equipment, racing teams, trailer axles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 4.0 sampling on the finished lot.
- Finish inspection under agreed lighting.
- Carton drop test on the first lot of a new packing specification.
Questions buyers ask
What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard MOQ is 1000 pieces per specification. Mixed sizes inside one shipment are accepted once the total reaches that figure.
What testing is included?
Standard lots ship with dimensional and hardness reports. ISO 9001 documentation is issued with the shipment when your market requires it.
What happens if a lot fails inspection?
The lot is re-inspected against the golden sample, and replacement pieces ship on the next available booking at our cost.
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 3 days once you have seen the first piece.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
