Axles - Trailer and Caravan

Trailer Axles, Drop Axles, Overlay Axles and Independent Suspension Stubs.

Couplemate manufacturers single axles and tandem axles for trailers, caravans, campers, camper trailers and boat trailers in its Wynnum workshops.

Custom heavy-duty axles for independent trailer coil spring suspension and Rocker Roller trailer kits are a speciality. Our CNC toolmakers and technicians manufacture precise square shafts for the smoothest ride.

The most popular setup for a dual axle trailer is an axle fit to suit rocker roller springs.

Firstly, the process of ordering an axle starts by measuring the total axle length or face to face measurement (see measurement F below).
Convert Face to Face measurements to Tip to Tip measurement is as follows:

• S/L 10” Electric Drum (add 103mm)
• S/L 150mm Lazy (add 100mm)
• 10” Disk Rotor (add 98mm)
• PLL 10” Electric Drum (add 122mm)
• 2T 12” Electric Drum (add 172mm)
• 2T 205mm Lazy (add 172mm)

Clicking the links above will take you to an example of the length you are calculating.

Secondly, it is important to check your bearing combination. 
The most convenient and accurate way to identify your bearing combination is to remove your hub and bearings to locate the number laser engraved onto the bearing.

Finally, for axles requiring braked or lazy hubs, you must also calculate your P.C.D.
