Kessler Axles Drive Axles

Kessler + Co designs and produces planetary drive axles with a capacity of 8 – 200 metric tons.

Our axles are characterized by a superior reliability based on product knowledge proven through many years of field experience. Our modular design allows us to find individual solutions by using high volume components manufactured in highly efficient production plants.

The Kessler drive axles are available with different differential, brake and wheel end options.
