Steel Wheel Hub Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Fixed Type
Steel Wheel Hub Specification Example for Three-Wheelers: Fixed Type
This is a worked specification for steel wheel hub in a fixed type 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 fixed type version exists because the duty cycle on three-wheelers is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually packing that arrived crushed at the port.

- Name the finish and what it has to survive.
- State the inspection level and who pays when a lot fails.
Processes involved
- cold forging
- electroplating

- powder coating
- injection moulding
- rubber vulcanisation
Where this example applies
Programmes that run fixed type most often specify this build for three-wheelers. Related applications include municipal fleets, scooter fleets, racing teams, camper conversions, rental motorcycles.
Checks before packing
- Dimensional report against the approved drawing.
- AQL 1.5 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
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
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.
How is packing specified?
Individual packing, inner box quantity and carton marking are confirmed at quotation stage so the cartons arrive ready for your warehouse.
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.
