45mm Round Galvanised Lazy Axle
45mm round galvanised lazy or unbraked axle is used on tandem trailers and has a maximum weight rating of 1450kg.
When used on a single axle, the rating is 750kg as a result of having no brakes.
Parallel axles are perfect for launching trailers in a hardstand boatyard or as the rear axle in a 2000kg tandem axle set.
Why use a parallel axle in a tandem set?
If your rig is running 15" or 16" wheels, the parallel rear axle will require less maintenance than a slimline axle suit to the larger bearing setup.
Parallel setups are suitable for 15" and 16" wheels only. Smaller wheels use the 1450kg slimline setups.

- 45mm Round Galvanised Axle

Calculating The Correct Axle Measurements
As a result of viewing the video above, calculate the face to face measurement.
- Measure the offset wheel. The wheel offset is the distance between the inside of the hub and the outside of the rubber.
- Add 50 mm to the offset. Alternatively, choose your own distance between the rubber and the chassis.
- Multiply by 2 for both sides. Add your chassis width to the above number.
Still unsure of what measurements to take? Check out this handy guide below:
[P] - Check material specifications. What size and profile is the axle (for example, 45mm Square)
[T] - Overall axle length (tip to tip)
[F] - Hub face to hub face measurement
[A] - Chassis width
[C] - Tyre clearance
[B] - Back offset
[H] - Tyre to chassis
[G] - Axle pad centres
Identifying Bearing Combinations
You will also need to identify your bearing combination which can be done by pulling off a hub and bearings and locating the number laser engraved onto the bearing. You will require both the inner and the outer bearing numbers.
