Wheel Bearings – Fast Facts

  • Critical components: HGV wheel bearings allow heavy wheels to rotate smoothly while supporting the weight of the vehicle.
  • Heavy-duty design: Wheel bearings are typically tapered roller bearings, designed for high loads and extreme conditions over time.
  • High temperature tolerance: Wheel bearings are engineered to handle the heat generated by friction under the heavy loads typical of HGV vehicles.
  • Fleet safety: Wheel bearings should be inspected regularly and replaced when necessary to prevent breakdowns and ensure vehicle safety.
  • Longevity: Well maintained wheel bearings can last tens of thousands of miles, even under heavy duty daily use.
  • Fuel efficiency: Wheel bearings enable the smooth movement of vehicle wheels. Worn bearings increase rolling resistance, which can lead to higher fuel consumption.
  • Load compliance: Wheel bearings ensure that axles carry the correct weight, ensuring that vehicles are road safe and within legal limits.
  • Noise indicators: A persistent grinding or humming sound while driving can signal a failing wheel bearing. An inspection should be conducted and replacement made if necessary.
