Steel Wheel Hub Specification Example for Light Trucks: Waterproof Version
Steel Wheel Hub Specification Example for Light Trucks: Waterproof Version
This is a worked specification for steel wheel hub in a waterproof version 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 waterproof version version exists because the duty cycle on light trucks is not the same as on a showroom vehicle. Where the two are specified identically, something fails later — usually a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench.

How the example is built up
- Start from the duty cycle, not from the catalogue photograph.
- Fix the base material in writing — Aluminium 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
- sintering
- robot welding
- heat treatment
- die casting
- cold forging
- anodising
Where this example applies
Programmes that run waterproof version most often specify this build for light trucks. Related applications include camper conversions, trailer axles, agricultural trailers, utility trailers, long-haul trucks.
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
How long does sampling take?
Samples leave the factory in 14 working days, and each revision round adds about 5 days once you have seen the first piece.
Do you handle mixed containers?
Yes. Most programmes consolidate several part numbers into one container to keep freight sensible at 1000 pieces per line.
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.
Can the specification be held on file?
Yes. Once approved, the specification is recorded against your part number so a reorder reproduces the DOT-compliant build instead of a fresh interpretation.
Share a sample or a drawing and we will quote against a written specification, not against a photograph.
