FAQs

What is the maximum weight this kit can support?

The maximum weight capacity for this kit, when used as a pair of suspension units, is 350kg.

What are the dimensions of the stub axle this kit fits?

The kit is designed for a stub axle size of 1" in diameter and 2" long, referring to the section where the bearings are seated.

Does this kit include a spare wheel?

The product listing title mentions 'extra spare wheel', but the components list typically includes three wheels fitted with tyres. It is advisable to confirm the exact number of wheels included with your specific purchase.

Are the bearings pre-greased?

The kit includes bearing sets, but they typically require greasing during installation. Always refer to the bearing manufacturer's instructions for proper lubrication.

What is the PCD of the trailer hubs?

The trailer hubs included have a 4" PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter), measured diagonally from stud to stud.

Can this kit be used on a trailer exceeding 350kg?

No, the maximum weight capacity is 350kg per pair of suspension units. Exceeding this limit can lead to component failure and unsafe operation.

Troubleshooting

Wheels wobble or feel loose

Check the tightness of the wheel nuts. Re-adjust the taper roller bearings for correct pre-load. Ensure the hub is securely fitted to the stub axle.

Galvanised coating appears discoloured

This is often a normal process called 'white rust' and does not typically affect the structural integrity. Clean the surface with water. For persistent concerns, consult a specialist.

Difficulty fitting bearings

Ensure you are using the correct bearings for the hub and that the stub axle is clean and free from burrs. Lightly grease the bearings before installation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Complete kit simplifies replacement and upgrade process
  • Solid suspension arms offer enhanced strength
  • Adjustable bearings ensure longevity and performance
  • Suitable for business use due to robust design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation involves mounting the suspension units to the trailer chassis, ensuring the mounting holes align with pre-drilled holes or are suitably drilled. The hubs, bearings, and wheels are then fitted to the stub axles. Ensure the adjustable taper roller bearings are correctly pre-loaded according to standard practice for trailer bearings.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for trailers with a maximum weight capacity of 350kg (per pair of suspension units). The key compatibility measurement is the stub axle size, which is 1" in diameter and 2" long (this is the section where the bearings sit). The hub PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) is 4", measured diagonally from stud to stud. Always verify these dimensions against your existing trailer setup before purchasing.

Care: To maintain longevity, regularly inspect the wheels, tyres, and bearings. Clean the galvanised surfaces with water and a mild detergent. Check wheel nut tightness periodically. Lubricate bearings as per the bearing manufacturer's recommendations, typically during annual maintenance or after submersion in water.
