60mm Round Galvanised Trailer Axle – Unbraked (AL-KO 3T Bearings, 3000kg Rated)
Heavy-duty 60mm round solid steel trailer axle featuring high-grade hot-dipped galvanisation, a 6-stud pattern, unbraked configuration, and premium AL-KO 3T Japanese bearings rated for up to 3000kg.
Product Description
Engineered specifically for heavy-duty commercial rigs, earthmoving plant trailers, and marine environments, this 60mm Round Solid Galvanised Axle delivers uncompromising strength and load capacity. Built from premium 1045-grade tensile steel, the hot-dipped galvanised finish provides elite rust protection against saltwater and harsh atmospheric conditions.
This lazy/unbraked configuration comes pre-fitted with authentic, industry-benchmark AL-KO 3T premium Japanese wheel bearings, offering superior performance, minimised rolling resistance, and an extended service life under maximum load thresholds. Designed to accept standard 6-stud LandCruiser wheels, it is the perfect backbone for robust trailer configurations requiring a dependable 3-tonne rating per axle.

- 3000kg Heavy-Duty Rating: Rigidly built for high-capacity towing demands.
- Premium AL-KO 3T Bearings: Includes genuine Japanese-made cups and cones for ultimate durability.
- Hot-Dipped Galvanised Finish: Maximises defence against corrosion, rust, and salt-water damage.

- 6-Stud Hub Pattern: Standard 6×139.7mm PCD configuration to fit popular heavy-duty trailer and 4WD wheels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use this unbraked axle on a 3000kg single-axle trailer?
A: No. In Australia, any trailer with a Gross Trailer Mass (GTM) over 750kg requires operational brakes. This 3000kg unbraked axle is primarily engineered as a trailing load-sharing second axle in a multi-axle tandem system, or for specialised off-road/yard machinery setups. However, this axle is permitted for agricultural use.
Q: Why are AL-KO 3T Japanese bearings better than standard bearings?
A: Genuine Japanese bearings feature significantly tighter tolerances, superior metallurgical hardening, and exceptional wear resistance. This minimises heat generation and drastically reduces the risk of bearing failure during long journeys under heavy loads.
Q: Is this axle suitable for boat trailers?
A: Yes. The hot-dip galvanised coating provides the highest level of commercial resistance in marine environments and to salt-water exposure. We recommend applying marine-grade grease to the hub assembly before submersion.
