Our 60mm Round Axles are made in Australia and rated to a maximum of 3T

The Couplemate 60mm Round Axle tows your rig straight and true. If not, then below are a few tips. Note: Please advise tip-to-tip length and axle profile. Example 2t, 3t, parallel, Dexter, slimline.

Couplemate manufactures axles from Bluescope steel in our Wynnum, Brisbane workshops.

Note: Please advise the tip-to-tip length or face-to-face measurement, and the axle profile, after ordering (see the diagram below). Example axle profiles: 2T, 3T, parallel, slimline.

60mm Round axles rarely cause problems.

60mm Round Axle prices can vary significantly. Axles are manufactured in a variety of places, including India, China, Malaysia, and Australia. Real problems may arise from imported steel, causing fractures in the beam. Consistent hardness along the beam is another problem.

Couplemate uses virgin Australian steel rated to K1045 for 2t and 3t axles.

Trailer Axle Alignment

Installing a new axle into position is quite tricky for novice installers.

Measure the distance from the chassis rail to the back of the hub on both sides. Once correctly aligned, install the u-bolts over the axle.

Alternatively, measure the trailer’s chassis width. This measurement allows us to weld the axle pads onto the axle before delivery. As a result of the installed axle pads, the axle will auto-locate over the spring centre pins.

In seconds, the axle is perfectly aligned and ready for the U-bolt kit to be installed. Great article below.

Other Common Axle Problems | Our Advice

Rough seal journals cause grease loss through the rear seal.
50mm Square Axles must be examined before installation for cracks in the steel along the axle.
Some suppliers provide non-virgin steel or scrap steel and forge it into solid square or round shapes for axle production. Always ask for Australian Steel.
Chinese bearings are the second biggest cause of axle failure.
Using Japanese bearings ensures the reliability of your rig.
The combination of Japanese Bearings and a 50mm Square Axle will help you lower maintenance costs for your rig.

How To: Calculate The Correct Axle Measurements

As a result of viewing the video above, calculate the face-to-face measurement.

Measure the offset wheel. The wheel offset is the distance between the inside of the hub and the outside of the rubber.
Add 50 mm to the offset. Alternatively, choose your own distance between the rubber and the chassis.
Multiply by 2 for both sides. Add your chassis width to the above number.

Still unsure of what measurements to take? Check out this handy guide below:

[P] – Check material specifications. What size and profile is the axle (for example, 45mm Square)
[T] – Overall axle length (tip to tip)
[F] – Hub face-to-hub face measurement
[A] – Chassis width
[C] – Tyre clearance
[B] – Back offset
[H] – Tyre to chassis
[G] – Axle pad centres

Identifying Bearing Combinations

You will also need to identify your bearing combination, which can be done by pulling off a hub and bearings and locating the number laser-engraved onto the bearing. You will require both the inner and the outer bearing numbers.
