SELECTING THE PROPER TRAILER AXLE
When selecting an axle for your application remember to consider the following important specifications:
-
LOAD CAPACITY: the load rating of the axle must support the maximum gross vehicle weight rating. For multiple axle trailers divide the GVWR by the number of axles to determine the minimum load capacity of each axle.
-
TRACK LENGTH: measure your axle track length by determining the distance between the center of 1 tire to the center of the other tire. A more precise measurement can be made by measuring the distance from 1 ‘HUB FACE’ to the other. The hub face is also known as the mounting surface where the wheel studs are located.
-
SPRING CENTERS: measure the distance from the center of 1 spring to the center of the other.
NOTE: not required for replacement torsion axles -
OVERALL LENGTH: measure the distance from the very end of an axle’s spindle to the very end of the opposite spindle.
-
AXLE STYLE: important when reusing old mounting hardware and also for proper tire clearance. Includes straight axles (round or square), drop axles with offset spindles, and torsion axles. Also consider spindle size when reusing existing hubs or drums.
-
AXLE CAMBER: Most trailer axles are designed with a bend in the tube that will deflect when the load (weight of the trailer) is applied. This will theoretically bring the trailer wheel camber toward a 0 value that is the best setting for most trailer applications. This will allow the tires to wear evenly and allow the longest tread life. Camber can be affected by damage to the axle. For example, if the axle spindle is bent, this will usually cause a negative camber on that side which will cause excess tread wear on the inside of that tire.

How do trailer axles contribute to a trailer’s maneuverability and control?
Trailer axles play a crucial role in a trailer’s maneuverability and control. Here’s how they contribute:
- Weight Distribution: The placement of trailer axles and the distribution of weight on them impact how a trailer handles. Proper weight distribution ensures stability and control during towing.
- Balance: Balanced axles help prevent issues like swaying or fishtailing. The even distribution of weight across the axles promotes smoother and more controlled towing.
- Number of Axles: Trailers with multiple axles generally have better weight distribution and stability. Tandem or multi-axle configurations help distribute the load evenly and enhance control.
- Steering Geometry: Axle placement influences a trailer’s turning radius and maneuverability. Axles placed closer to the front or back can affect how sharply a trailer can turn.
- Suspension Type: The type of suspension, whether leaf spring, torsion, or air suspension, can impact how well a trailer handles bumps and road imperfections, contributing to control and a smoother ride.
- Braking Systems: Axles equipped with brakes provide additional control by assisting in slowing down or stopping the trailer. Electric, hydraulic, or surge brakes are common options.
- Shock Absorption: Some axles come with shock absorbers to dampen vibrations and jolts, improving control by reducing the impact of road irregularities.
- Tire Size and Quality: Properly sized and high-quality tires on trailer axles ensure good traction and control. Trailer tires with a higher load capacity can handle the weight more effectively.
- Alignment and Maintenance: Regular maintenance, including keeping axles properly aligned and well-lubricated, is crucial for ensuring that the trailer’s axles operate optimally and contribute to control and stability.
In summary, the design, configuration, and maintenance of trailer axles significantly affect a trailer’s maneuverability and control. Properly chosen and maintained axles contribute to safe and predictable towing experiences.
How does a tandem or multi-axle setup compare to a single trailer axle?
A tandem or multi-axle setup on a trailer offers several advantages and differences when compared to a single trailer axle:
1. Weight Distribution:
– Tandem or multi-axle setups distribute the trailer’s weight more evenly across multiple axles. This results in better weight distribution and reduced strain on individual axles and tires, minimizing the risk of overloading.
2. Improved Load Capacity:
– Tandem and multi-axle configurations can typically carry heavier loads than single axles. This is especially important for heavy or oversized cargo.
3. Enhanced Stability:
– Additional axles provide greater stability and control. They help reduce swaying, improve tracking, and enhance the trailer’s overall stability, especially at high speeds or when navigating curves.
4. Reduced Tire Wear:
– Tandem axles distribute the weight more evenly, reducing tire wear compared to a single axle. This results in longer tire life and cost savings.
5. Better Traction:
– Multi-axle setups provide improved traction, which is beneficial for off-road or adverse weather conditions, such as snow, mud, or ice.
6. Braking Efficiency:
– Tandem axles can improve braking efficiency due to increased brake pad contact with the road surface. This enhances safety by reducing stopping distances.
7. Handling and Maneuverability:
– While multi-axle setups offer stability, they can be less maneuverable than single axles, particularly in tight spaces. Drivers may need more room to make turns or park.
8. Maintenance:
– Tandem and multi-axle configurations require more maintenance and attention to ensure all axles are properly aligned, balanced, and maintained. This can increase operating costs.
9. Cost:
– Multi-axle trailers are typically more expensive to purchase and maintain than single-axle trailers. However, the increased load capacity and stability can outweigh the initial cost difference for specific applications.
10. Legal Considerations:
– Regulations regarding axle configurations, weight limits, and axle spacing can vary by region. It’s important to comply with local laws when using tandem or multi-axle setups.
In summary, tandem or multi-axle setups are advantageous for heavy or large loads, providing better weight distribution, stability, and load capacity. However, they require increased maintenance and may be less maneuverable in some situations. The choice between single and multi-axle trailers depends on the specific hauling needs, legal requirements, and budget considerations.
What are the components of a trailer axle assembly and their functions?
A trailer axle assembly consists of several key components, each with specific functions:
1. Axle Beam:
– The axle beam is the central load-bearing component. It supports the trailer’s weight and distributes it to the wheels. The axle beam is the main structural element of the assembly.
2. Spindles:
– Spindles are the attachment points for the wheels. They connect the wheels to the axle beam, allowing them to rotate. Properly lubricated spindles ensure smooth wheel movement.
3. Hubs and Bearings:
– Hubs are the wheel-mounting components, and bearings allow the wheels to rotate freely. These components are crucial for reducing friction and maintaining wheel movement.
4. Brakes (Optional):
– Some trailer axles are equipped with brakes, including electric or hydraulic systems. Brakes help the trailer come to a controlled stop and enhance safety during towing.
5. Suspension System:
– The suspension system, which can be leaf springs, torsion axles, or air suspension, absorbs shocks and vibrations, ensuring a smoother ride and protecting the trailer’s cargo.
6. U-Bolts and Plates:
– U-bolts secure the axle assembly to the trailer’s frame using axle plates. They ensure proper alignment and stability of the axle assembly.
7. Mounting Hardware:
– Various nuts, bolts, and washers are used to secure components in the axle assembly, ensuring they remain in place during operation.
8. Axle Beam Brackets:
– These brackets provide additional support and structural integrity to the axle beam, helping distribute weight evenly and reduce stress on the axle.
9. Wiring and Connectors (Optional):
– If the axle assembly includes brakes, it may also have wiring and connectors for brake activation. These components allow the trailer’s braking system to communicate with the towing vehicle.
– In summary, the components of a trailer axle assembly work together to support the trailer’s weight, facilitate wheel movement, provide braking capabilities (if equipped), and ensure a smooth and stable ride. Proper maintenance of these components is essential for safe and reliable trailer operation.
