Swing Away
Perfect for all 4×4 and caravanning enthusiasts. The Couplemate Swing Away can be used to carry spare wheels, jerry cans, trailer lifts, and more.
Our kits use K1045, which is a high-grade Australian steel, for both the stub axle and flangeless hub. This ensures a sturdy and secure product, which we machine in-house.
Couplemate is proud that this quality product is Australian-Made. See it on the Australian-Made website here.

Weight & Load Ratings
The loading rate depends on the length of swing-away you intend to use. The longer the arm, the more loading on the bearings.
In this application, there is no requirement for high-speed bearings. We decided to manufacture a more robust spare wheel carrier that can handle a variety of awkward weights (such as spare wheels, jerry cans, trailer lifts, etc).
Couplemate recommends using Slimline or Parallel model bearings, and LM/Holden should be reserved for light loads.
