This twin axle trailer kit from Journey is designed for users needing a robust, road-legal solution for transporting goods at higher speeds. Its key benefit is the high-speed capability and durable construction, making it suitable for frequent use. A caveat to consider is the 750kg maximum weight limit, characteristic of unbraked trailers.

The maximum weight per kit is 750kgs, which is the standard road legal limit for trailers without brakes in the UK and EU.
No, the hubs feature high-speed sealed ball bearings that are maintenance-free and require no greasing.
The tyres are rated for a maximum speed of 81 mph (130 kph) and are E-marked and road legal in the UK and EU.
The wheels are fitted to heavy-duty steel rims with a 4-stud, 100mm PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter).
The stub axles are 35mm x 35mm square and 200mm long, manufactured in the EU.
This kit is designed for unbraked trailers up to 750kg. While components might be adaptable, its primary design intent and weight limit are for unbraked applications.
The overall diameter ranges from 409mm to 418mm.
Ensure correct tyre pressures are maintained (60-90psi). Verify that the distance between the twin axles is appropriate for the trailer's length and intended load. Check that all wheel nuts are securely tightened.
These are sealed, maintenance-free bearings. If noise or seizure occurs, it indicates a failure. The hub assembly will need to be replaced. Ensure no external damage has occurred to the hub.
Check wheel alignment if possible, though this is less common on basic trailer axles. Ensure the trailer is not overloaded beyond the 750kg limit. Verify tyre pressures are correct and consistent.
This indicates wear or improper fitting. The hub assembly may need to be replaced. Ensure the stub axle is clean and undamaged before fitting a new hub.
Setup: This kit requires professional fitting to a trailer chassis. The 35x35mm square stub axles (200mm long) are designed for direct mounting. Ensure the chassis is prepared to accept these dimensions. The wheels have a 4-stud, 100mm PCD hub mounting. Ensure your trailer frame can accommodate the twin axle mounting points, allowing for appropriate spacing between the axles for stability.
Compatibility: The wheels are fitted with 4.80/4.00-8 tyres on 4-stud, 100mm PCD steel rims. The hubs also feature a 100mm PCD. The stub axles are 35x35mm square. Ensure these specifications match your trailer's requirements.
Care: The primary care requirement is for the sealed ball bearings within the hubs. These are high-speed, maintenance-free units and do not require greasing. Periodically inspect the tyres for wear, damage, and correct inflation pressure (rated 60-90psi). Check wheel nuts for tightness before each journey. Keep the wheels and hubs clean to prevent debris from interfering with the bearings.
