40mm Square Galvanised Axle
40mm square galvanised axle max rating is 1000kg on Holden LM bearings and 1250kg on Composite bearings.
Measure your trailer axle from tip to tip. Axles are supplied with nut, washer, and split pin.
Causes of Axle Flex
- Heavy loads on light axles create what we call axle flex.
- Axle flex is a result of axle vibration at high speeds.
- This vibration occurs in the middle of the axle.
The result of axle flex is premature aging of the trailer spring and trailer vibration at high speeds.
If your 40mm Square Axle is bending in the middle by more than 5mm, it needs to be replaced with a 45mm Round or Square axle, depending on the width of your trailer.
Wider trailers require square axles for the best suspension performance.
