45mm U Bolt Lengths
Why should I check and re-tighten U-bolts?
Firstly, you must retighten U-bolts approximately 200 km after installation because the steel tends to stretch slightly under load.
U-bolts generally fail due to hydrogen embrittlement during bending and galvanising. At Couplemate, a new process removes hydrogen embrittlement to produce ST-class U-bolts.
We stress-tested these u-bolts during manufacture and batch test until destruction.
What is the rating for U-bolts?
Destruction loads exceed 17,000kg for 1/2-inch galvanised U-bolts.
Our U-bolts are derated to 375kg each or 1500kg per set of 4 or enough U-bolts to suit a single axle.
The max rating of 60mm Round axles is 3000kg with a u-bolt rating of 1500kg.
