ERF propshaft repair and manufacture
Based in Sandbach, Cheshire ERF (Edwin Richard Foden) produced trucks from 1933 having designed the first diesel engine powered lorry in the same year. The company was to dominate the export and home markets for many years and a wide range of models were built until the company was taken over by Canadian company Western Star Trucks in 1996 then later bought out by German company MAN in 2000.
Firow used to modify the propshafts at the Sandbach site originally, and also when they moved to the newer site in Middlewich under the Man brand.
ERF no longer manufacture new trucks, but we still stock ERF parts, so we are able to repair and manufacture propshafts for ERF vehicles.
Manufacture of the trucks was stopped in July 2007, so any ERF truck will be now have a ‘classic’ status. We can offer cheaper parts to repair or build the propshafts for ERF trucks, depending on available budgets and the mileage required of the truck.

TESTIMONIALS
What our customers are saying
A nationwide service, providing high quality propshafts and expert advice to both individuals and businesses.
On most truck drivelines you will find an intermediate propshaft and Scania trucks are no different. Sometimes referred to as the 'mid-shaft' or a 'centre bearing shaft', the intermediate propshaft is identified as the propshaft with a centre support bearing.
In week 10, we took a quick look at our first propshaft centre bearing of the series. We covered the main components of a centre bearing and how they operate within a propshaft.
Universal Joints are a common sight when it comes to Propshafts and are easily identifiable by many people in the automotive trade. However, if you’re someone who has limited experience with Propshafts, let alone the individual components, sometimes it can feel like you’re fumbling around in the dark.
Volkswagen’s mid-size luxury SUV, the Volkswagen Touareg, has been produced since 2002 and its popularity seems to suggest it’s following the sales trend for SUVs across Europe.
Scania Interaxle Propshafts (or “Bogie Propshafts”) are found on Scania tippers between the two back driven axles. It is quite common for these to fail due to the amount of stress they are under, so we quite often see these props in pretty bad shape.
