Abstract
A wheel head for the drive wheel of a heavy duty vehicle provides the hub as a housing which is closed at its outer end by a movable cover and can be opened to allow removal of the planetary gearing and brake. The planetary gearing includes planetary gears journaled directly on the cover and a ring gear in the form of a hollow shaft which encloses the brake and is connected to the axle by a wheel bearing cap which also can be removed through the housing opening when the cover is detached.
