This 60mm Slipper Rear Keeper Hanger is a vital structural component in trailer suspension systems that use slipper-style leaf springs. Specifically engineered to house the “slipper” end of the spring, it provides a secure, low-friction channel that allows the spring to expand and contract under load.
Product Overview
Designed for durability and precise fitment, this rear hanger acts as the trailing guide for your suspension. It is built to accommodate standard 60mm wide slipper springs and is pre-drilled to accept heavy-duty 16mm (5/8-inch) shackle bolts, ensuring a high-strength connection to your trailer frame.
Key Features
- Dual Bolt Compatibility: Precision-drilled to suit both metric 16mm and imperial 5/8-inch high-tensile shackle bolts.
- Optimal Spring Clearance: Sized specifically for 60mm wide springs, providing enough internal clearance to prevent binding while maintaining lateral stability.
- Weld-On Design: Manufactured from thick, heavy-duty mild steel, offering excellent weldability for a permanent, secure attachment to the trailer chassis.
- Robust Protection: Built to withstand the constant sliding motion of the spring “tail,” reducing wear on the spring itself.
Technical Specifications
- Spring Width: 60mm
- Bolt Hole Diameter: 16mm / 5/8″
- Material: Heavy-duty structural mild steel
- Hanger Type: Rear Keeper (Slipper Style)
- Finish: Natural steel (ready for welding and painting/galvanising)
Installation Note
As a weld-on component, ensure all mill scale is ground back to clean metal before welding to the chassis. This hanger is typically used in conjunction with a front-eyehanger to complete a single-axle slipper-spring setup.
