Galvanised 1/2-inch U-Bolt Kits

Galvanised U-Bolt Kits

Couplemate™ U-Bolt Kits are strength-tested and galvanised for longevity.

U-bolts play a vital role in keeping your entire caravan secure. They connect the axle to the springs, and in turn, connect everything to the trailer chassis. Therein, it’s very important that you buy the right U-Bolts for the job.

1/2″ Galvanised U-Bolts are suitable for 45mm springs with a weight capacity of up to 1500kg for single axle and 3000kg for tandem trailers.

If you have an Off-Road Camper, Rocker-Roller Springs, or an ATM that exceeds these weight capacities, Couplemate™ recommends opting for a Heavy-Duty U-Bolt Kit.

How to Measure U-Bolt Length

How do you know what U-Bolt length you need? Here is the calculation:

Minimum U-Bolt Length = Axle Thickness + Axle Pad Thickness + Spring Width + Fish Plate Thickness + Nuts & Washer Thickness

Couplemate™ U-Bolt kit contents have the following set measurements:

• Axle Pad = 10mm
• Fish Plate = 10mm
• Nut & Washers = 27mm

For example, if you have a 50mm Axle with 7 Leaf Springs (56mm), your calculation would be:
50mm + 10mm + 56mm + 10mm + 27mm = 153mm
