Trailer Axles, Drop Axles, Overlay Axles and Independent Suspension Stubs.
All caravan and trailer axles are Australian Made.
Couplemate manufacturer’s replacement axles for trailers, caravans, camper trailers and boat trailers in its Wynnum workshops.
How are Trailer Axle Kits made?
Axles are manufactured from virgin Bluescope steel and turned in our C.N.C. Lathes.
Our specialty is custom heavy-duty axles for independent trailer coil spring suspension and Rocker Roller trailer kits. In short, our C.N.C. toolmakers and technicians manufacture precise square shafts for the smoothest ride.
Also, as a side note, the most popular setup for a dual-axle trailer is an axle fit to suit rocker roller springs.
Firstly, ordering a replacement trailer 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 measurements
- S/L x 10-inch Electric Drum – add 103mm
- S/L x 150mm Lazy – add 100mm
- 10-inch Disk Rotor – add 98mm
- P.L.L. x 10-inch Electric Drum – add 122mm
- 2T x 12-inch Electric Drum – add 172mm
- 2T x 205mm Lazy – add 172mm
Secondly, it is essential to check your bearing combination.
Removing your hub and bearings is the most convenient and accurate way to identify your bearing combination. After that, locate the number laser engraving on the bearing.
Finally, it would help to calculate your P.C.D. for axles requiring braked or lazy hubs.
