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.

Are there specific challenges or maintenance practices for boat trailer axles?
Boat trailer axles come with unique challenges and maintenance requirements due to their exposure to marine environments. Here are some specific considerations:
- Corrosion: Exposure to saltwater can lead to accelerated corrosion. Regularly rinsing the axles, especially after launching, helps mitigate this issue. Additionally, choosing galvanized or aluminum axles provides better resistance to corrosion.
- Bearing Maintenance: Boat trailer axles often require more frequent bearing inspections and maintenance due to water exposure. Greasing the bearings before and after each trip is essential to prevent water intrusion and prolong bearing life.
- Seals and Gaskets: Ensure that seals and gaskets are in good condition to prevent water from entering the hubs. Replace them if they show signs of wear or damage.
- Proper Storage: Storing the boat trailer properly, preferably in a dry, covered area, can significantly extend the life of the axles and other components.
- Regular Inspections: Periodic inspections of the entire axle assembly, including brakes, hubs, and wiring, are crucial for early detection of issues that could lead to axle failure.
- Tire Maintenance: Proper tire care is essential. Check tire pressure, tread wear, and sidewall damage regularly, as underwater loading can stress trailer tires.
- Brake System Checks: Ensure that the brake system is functioning correctly, especially if the trailer has brakes. Saltwater exposure can affect brake components.
- Electrical System: Check and protect the electrical components to prevent corrosion and ensure that trailer lights and brakes work reliably.
- Spare Parts: Carrying spare parts such as bearings, seals, and a spare tire is a good practice, especially for longer trips where servicing might not be readily available.
Boat trailer axles demand diligence in maintenance to extend their lifespan and ensure safe and trouble-free trips. Prevention and early intervention are key to addressing the challenges posed by the marine environment.
How do brake systems and suspension components interact with trailer axles?
Brake systems and suspension components play a critical role in the overall functioning and safety of trailer axles. Their interaction ensures the trailer’s stability, handling, and stopping capabilities.
Brake Systems:
- Function: Brake systems in trailers provide the necessary stopping force when the towing vehicle applies its brakes. The brake system on the trailer axle needs to be synchronized with the towing vehicle for smooth and efficient stopping.
- Types: Trailers can be equipped with drum or disc brakes. Both systems rely on a controller from the towing vehicle, which applies the brakes in proportion to the towing vehicle’s deceleration.
- Interaction with Axles: The brake systems are mounted directly on the trailer axles. As the brakes apply friction to the rotating part of the axle (either the drum or disc), the axle experiences a counter force which helps in slowing down the trailer.
Suspension Components:
- Function: The suspension system on a trailer absorbs shocks and provides a cushioning effect, ensuring that the trailer remains stable over uneven terrains.
- Types: Common types of trailer suspension systems include leaf spring and air suspension systems. These systems are designed to distribute the trailer’s weight evenly across its axles.
- Interaction with Axles: Suspension components are directly connected to the trailer axles. They ensure the axles remain parallel to the ground, distributing weight and strain evenly. This not only aids in the longevity of the axle but also in the even wear of tires and brakes.
In summary, the brake systems and suspension components of a trailer are integral to its axles’ functionality and longevity. Proper maintenance and understanding of these systems are essential for safe and efficient trailer operation.
Can you explain the various types of trailer axles and their applications?
Trailer axles come in various types, each designed for specific applications. Here’s an explanation of the common types and their uses:
1. Single Axle:
– Single axles have a single wheel on each side of the axle. They are often used in small utility trailers, boat trailers, and lightweight cargo trailers. Single axles are simple and cost-effective but may have limited load-carrying capacity.
2. Tandem Axle:
– Tandem axles consist of two axles placed side by side. They are commonly found in larger trailers, such as enclosed cargo trailers, car haulers, and camper trailers. Tandem axles offer increased stability and weight-carrying capacity.
3. Triple Axle:
– Triple axles feature three axles in close succession. They are used in heavy-duty and specialized trailers like large cargo trailers, mobile homes, and industrial transport trailers. Triple axles provide exceptional load capacity and stability.
4. Drop Axle:
– Drop axles are used to lower the trailer deck for easier loading and unloading. They are often seen in utility and equipment trailers. Drop axles are ideal for transporting vehicles and equipment with a low ground clearance.
5. Idler Axle:
– Idler axles do not have brakes and are used on lightweight or small trailers where braking is not required. They are commonly found in landscaping trailers, small utility trailers, and some boat trailers.
6. Brake Axle:
– Brake axles are equipped with brakes to enhance stopping power and safety. They are used in trailers that carry heavier loads, such as enclosed cargo trailers, horse trailers, and RVs.
7. Straight Axle:
– Straight axles have a fixed, straight orientation and are common in most trailer types. They provide a simple design and are suitable for a wide range of applications.
8. Torflex Axle:
– Torflex axles use a rubber torsion suspension system, offering a smoother ride and improved load equalization. They are used in lightweight cargo trailers, horse trailers, and RVs.
9. Adjustable Axle:
– Adjustable axles have a movable spindle, allowing the trailer owner to adjust the ride height based on specific needs. These are commonly used in boat trailers, where submerging the trailer in water requires height adjustments.
– In summary, the choice of trailer axle type depends on the trailer’s intended use, load capacity, and specific requirements. Understanding the different axle types and their applications is essential for selecting the right axle for your trailer.
