ZF 4143.315.094 PLANET CARRIER for HL 100/HL 270 | OEM Genuine Part

Overview

The ZF 4143.315.094 PLANET CARRIER is a critical load-bearing component within the HL 100 and HL 270 series transmissions. This OEM genuine part serves as the central hub for the planetary gear set, supporting the pinion gears and distributing torque evenly across the assembly. Designed to withstand extreme rotational forces, the carrier ensures precise gear alignment and smooth power flow from the input shaft to the output. The SKU 4143.315.094 is engineered to ZF’s original specifications, making it a direct replacement for worn units. It integrates seamlessly with the 4143101025: HOUSING and the 4143301055: HOUSING to form the complete planetary assembly.

Symptoms of Failure

When the planet carrier 4143.315.094 begins to fail, operators will notice distinct performance issues. Gear slipping under load is a primary indicator, often accompanied by a grinding noise during acceleration. Metallic debris in the transmission fluid suggests the carrier’s bearing surfaces have worn, contaminating the oil. Irregular vibration or shuddering during gear changes points to uneven planet gear wear. Finally, difficulty engaging forward or reverse gears can occur if the carrier’s splines have stripped, preventing proper torque transfer.

Technical Specifications

Compatibility

This planet carrier is specifically engineered for the ZF HL 100 and HL 270 series transmissions. It is also compatible with the WG180 and WG200 models that share the same planetary architecture. The part fits all variants of the HL 100 and HL 270, including those used in industrial forklifts, telehandlers, and heavy-duty material handling equipment. For complete assembly, ensure the 4143298040: CASE is properly aligned, and secure the carrier using the 0631329135: SPRING PIN to lock the pinion shafts in place.
