ZF 2098.240.015 HOISTING UNIT | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 2098.240.015 HOISTING UNIT is a precision-engineered OEM genuine component designed for heavy-duty construction machinery. This critical assembly sits within the power take-off (PTO) section of the transmission, converting engine torque into controlled hydraulic or mechanical lifting force for hoisting operations. As part of the driveline, it works in concert with the 2098109042: DIFFERENTIAL and the 2098309011: CROWN WHEEL to ensure smooth power distribution. The SKU 2098.240.015 is factory-matched to ZF’s stringent tolerances, guaranteeing direct bolt-on replacement without modification.

Symptoms of Failure

• Intermittent hoisting hesitation or jerking – When the hoisting unit’s internal splines or bearings wear, the load may stutter during lift cycles, often misdiagnosed as a hydraulic pump issue.
• Metallic grinding noise from the transmission housing – Worn gear teeth or a failing thrust washer produce a distinct high-pitched whine or grinding sound, especially under load.
• Hydraulic oil contamination with metallic debris – Flakes or fine metal particles in the oil filter indicate advanced wear of the hoisting unit’s internal components, such as the 2099209001: DIFFERENTIAL mating surfaces.
• Reduced lifting capacity or slow descent – A compromised hoisting unit can cause the load to drift or fail to hold position, directly affecting operational safety.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This hoisting unit is primarily designed for ZF’s WG180 and WG200 series transmissions, commonly found in telescopic handlers, wheel loaders, and mobile cranes. It also fits select WG160 and WG210 variants where the PTO configuration matches the 2098.240.015 mounting pattern. For exact fitment, verify the transmission model tag and compare the spline count (typically 14-tooth) and flange bolt pattern. The unit integrates directly with the 2098309010: DIFFERENTIAL HOUSING to maintain driveline alignment.
