Eye-to-Eye springs are among the most common types of trailer springs. These springs are designed with an eye (a rounded end) at each end, allowing them to be securely attached to the trailer’s frame and shackles. They are best suited for trailers that need a balance of flexibility and strength, making them ideal for a wide range of applications.

For instance, you can choose 45x8mm Eye-to-Eye springs, which are rated for towing capacities ranging from 1200kg to 1600kg. They are an excellent choice for general-purpose towing, offering durability on paved roads.

Eye & Slipper springs feature an eye at one end and a flat, open-ended “slipper” on the other, which slides into a hanger on the trailer frame. This design allows for more movement, making them particularly suited for off-road trailers that need additional flexibility to handle uneven terrain.

For those who frequently tow in rugged conditions, the Off-Road Rebounce Springs, which support loads up to 2500kg, offer superior shock absorption and flexibility.

While springs absorb the shocks, U-Bolts ensure that everything stays in place. They are responsible for securing the trailer axle to the springs, keeping your suspension system stable and preventing unnecessary movement during towing.

Available in galvanized, zinc-coated, and high-tensile varieties, U-Bolts provide the necessary strength to keep your suspension system functioning efficiently.

If you’re towing a tandem or tri-axle trailer, Rocker Roller Suspension is essential for reducing bounce and sway. This system works by using a rocker arm to evenly distribute the weight across multiple axles, ensuring smoother handling and reducing wear on your trailer’s tires.

Rocker Roller systems are particularly effective for heavier trailers or when you’re traveling long distances.

Maintaining your trailer’s suspension system isn’t just about springs—it’s about having the right accessories. Items like shackle bolts, nylon bushes, and hangers ensure that your springs are functioning optimally and extend the lifespan of your suspension system. These small but vital components play a big role in your trailer’s overall performance.
