Choosing the Right Lazy Axle for Your Trailer

Lazy axles are a critical part of trailer suspension, providing additional support and stability for smoother handling. Selecting the correct lazy axle setup can enhance your trailer’s load capacity, ground clearance, and overall durability.

  • What are the types of lazy axle upgrades available?

    Our axle upgrade options include:

     

    • Drop Axles: Available in 2” and 4” drops, drop axles lower the trailer’s center of gravity, improving stability and ease of loading.

     

    • Overlay Axles: These are designed to provide a higher ground clearance, keeping the trailer level on uneven surfaces.

    Each type of upgrade is available in square and round configurations to suit different trailer needs.

  • How do I choose the right axle type for my trailer?

    Our axles come in several types:

     

    • Square Axles: Sizes include 40mm, 45mm, and 50mm in both standard and parallel configurations.

     

    • Round Axles: Designed for lighter loads, such as the 750kg 39mm round lazy axle, which offers a lightweight yet durable option for smaller trailers.

     

    For increased load capacity, the larger square axles, particularly the 50mm size, are recommended.

  • What stud patterns are available for lazy axles?

    We offer a variety of stud patterns to match common trailer wheels:

     

    • Ford, Commodore, and Holden HT

     

    • Landcruiser (5 or 6 stud options)

     

    Choosing the correct stud pattern ensures compatibility with your existing wheels.

  • What axle sizes can I choose from?

    Axle lengths vary to accommodate different trailer widths. The axle size you select should match the tip-to-tip measurement required for your specific trailer setup.
