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.
