45mm Square Heavy-Duty U-Bolt Kit – Medium & Heavy-Duty Trailers

The Couplemate™ CM601 is a Spring U-bolt kit for 45mm square axles. Designed to secure leaf springs to the axle safely, Couplemate™️ calls these the “heavy-duty” kits because they have thicker U-bolts and fish plates. 

Product Specifications

  • Internal U-Bolt Width: 45mm
  • Internal U-Bolt Leg Length: 150mm
  • Thread Type: M16x2 (or 5/8″ UNF)
  • Coating: Electro-Plated

Couplemate™️ often supplies Heavy-Duty u-bolt kits with trailer axle rebuilds over 1600kg (up to 4500kg ATM).

This kit is supplied with:

  • 4 x U-Bolts
  • 8 x Washers
  • 8 x Nyloc nuts
  • 2 x Fish Plates
  • 2 x Axle Pads/Spacers

Installation (User Guide)

Couplemate™️ 45mm Square U-Bolt Kits are easy for trailer spring maintenance.

  • Place a U-shaped curve over the axle beam.
  • Align the centre spring bolt and U-bolt legs with the fish plate holes.
  • Secure fish plate to leaf spring through supplied washers and nylock nuts. Tighten nuts to 100Nm with a socket.

Important: Check U-bolts and re-tighten nuts after the first trip and every 250 km thereafter.

Safety Precautions

Do not reuse nylon nuts. Nyloc nuts are often less effective after the first use because the nylon material (the key component of a nylon nut) has already conformed to the thread profile. 

Do not use a rattle gun to tighten. Rattle guns often tighten U-bolts too fast, too tight, and unevenly. This can cause the nylon to overheat and risk undue wear. 

Ensure the axle has welded axle pads. If not, use the axle pads supplied with the spring U-bolt kit.

Are 16mm Heavy-Duty U-Bolts worth it?

Within the industry, Trailer U-Bolts lack a standardised testing procedure.

However, Couplemate™ Engineers has developed its rigorous testing method. In this process, we subject u-bolts, nuts, and fish plates to a static load test until destruction occurs.

All of our 16mm Heavy Duty U-bolt Galvanised Kit undergo a 200-tonne test. During this testing, the u-bolts in the right-hand image ultimately broke at the 23t threshold.

The u-bolts in the right-hand image broke at 23t.
