Trailer axles are essential components that bear the weight of the trailer and enable smooth towing. They ensure stability and proper handling, making them a critical part of your trailer’s structure. Axles, along with the right accessories, support the trailer’s load and align with the towing vehicle for balanced, safe transport.

Axle accessories are designed to reinforce and secure the axle components, providing additional stability and ensuring safe towing. Common types of axle accessories include:

 

• Axle Cotter Split Pins: Used to secure nuts on the axle, ensuring that they remain tightly in place during towing. Options like the Axle Cotter Split Pin Standard Zinc and Axle Cotter Split Pin for Parallel & 2T Axles are ideal for different axle types.

 

• Axle Washers: These washers prevent the axle nut from loosening by acting as a barrier between the nut and other components. Sizes such as the Axle Washer 3/4″ Zinc and Axle Washer 1″ for Parallel & 2T Axles Zinc accommodate different axle specifications.

 

• Axle Nuts: Critical for securing the wheels and ensuring smooth rotation, axle nuts come in sizes like Axle Nut 3/4″ Zinc and Axle Nut 1″ for Parallel & 2T Axles Zinc.

When selecting axle accessories, consider your trailer’s axle type and load capacity. It’s essential to match the size and type of accessory (such as washers, nuts, or cotter pins) to your axle’s specifications to ensure a secure, reliable fit.

Regular maintenance includes inspecting axle accessories for wear, ensuring nuts and pins are tightly secured, and replacing any worn or corroded parts. Zinc-coated options resist rust and are a great choice for durability, especially in outdoor and rugged conditions.
