45mm Square Electric Brake Axle | Premium Australian-Made
This 45mm Square Electric Brake Axle is a heavy-duty, Australian-made towing solution designed for caravans, campers, and utility trailers. Rated for up to 1,450kg, this axle is built from high-grade K1045 steel and comes pre-assembled with your choice of Highway or Off-Road magnets to suit your specific travel needs.
Product Overview
Ready to bolt onto your trailer, this axle features 10″ electric brakes and the popular Slimline bearing configuration. Whether you are sticking to the sealed highway or tackling corrugated outback tracks, the customisable magnet options and robust 45mm solid square beam provide the perfect balance of strength and stopping power.
Key Features
- Solid 45mm Square Beam: Machined from premium K1045 structural steel for maximum rigidity and load-bearing capacity.
- Highway Magnets: Standard white-wire magnets for consistent, smooth braking on sealed roads.
- Off-Road Magnets: Heavy-duty magnets featuring a plastic insert/shield to prevent the magnet from “clapping” against the drum on rough, corrugated terrain.
- Slimline Bearings: Equipped with the reliable Slimline (L68149/L44649) bearing set, offering a higher load rating than standard LM bearings.
- Pre-Assembled Convenience: Comes fully assembled with backing plates, drums, and bearings—saving you hours on the workshop floor.
- Quality Finish: Supplied in a natural steel finish, ready for painting or galvanising to match your trailer chassis.

Why Choose the Off-Road Magnet Option?
If your trailer frequently leaves the bitumen, off-road magnets are essential. Standard magnets can bounce and wear prematurely on corrugations; our off-road version is reinforced to handle constant vibration, ensuring your brakes work exactly when you need them.
Would you like to provide the Tip-to-Tip or Hub-Face measurements so we can quote a custom length, or do you need a set of U-bolts and fish plates to complete the installation?

Axle Lengths
All Couplemate™ axles are custom-made to order. When you place an online order, one of our team members will contact you to confirm the details.
If you’re considering axle replacement, we recommend measuring from where one wheel bolts onto the corresponding point on the opposite side (commonly known as face-to-face). You’ll also want to gather your bearing details or weight capacity.
