Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of a trailer built with this kit?

The maximum kit load capacity is 204kgs. The tow hitch itself has a higher rating of 3000kgs, but this is for the hitch mechanism, not the trailer built from this specific kit.

Are the bearings user-serviceable?

The ALKO hubs feature sealed-for-life bearings, meaning they are designed to be maintenance-free and generally cannot be serviced by the user without specialized tools and risk of damage.

What type of terrain are these tires best suited for?

The Wanda P322 knobby tires are specifically designed for off-road use, providing excellent traction on dirt, mud, grass, and uneven surfaces.

Can I use these wheels on a road-legal trailer?

While the components are robust, the suitability for a road-legal trailer depends on local regulations and the overall construction of the trailer. The tire pressure specification (5psi) is typical for off-road use and may not be suitable for highway speeds.

What is the PCD of the wheels?

The wheels have a PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter) of 100mm and are fitted with 4x 12mm wheel bolts.

Does this kit include a trailer frame?

No, this kit includes the wheels, tires, hubs, stub axles, and tow hitch. You will need to provide or fabricate the trailer frame separately.

What is the overall diameter of the wheel and tire assembly?

The overall diameter of the wheel and tire is approximately 460mm.

Troubleshooting

Wheels wobble or vibrate excessively.

Ensure wheel nuts are tightened correctly to the hubs. Check that the tires are properly seated on the rims and inflated to 5psi. Verify that the stub axles are securely mounted to the trailer frame.

Tow hitch feels loose or unstable.

Confirm that the hitch is correctly fitted to the towing vehicle's drawbar and that the locking mechanism is fully engaged. Check for wear on the hitch or the ball/coupler it connects to.

Difficulty steering or towing the trailer.

Verify that the load is balanced and within the 204kg limit. Ensure tires are inflated to the correct pressure (5psi). Check for any obstructions or binding in the wheel hubs or axles.

Knobby tires not providing enough grip.

Confirm tire pressure is at 5psi. Evaluate the terrain; knobby tires excel on soft surfaces but may have less grip on very hard or slippery surfaces. Ensure the load is not excessive, which can reduce traction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • All-in-one kit simplifies trailer construction.
  • High-quality components from reputable brands like ALKO and SPP.
  • Sealed bearings reduce maintenance requirements.
  • Knobby tires offer superior grip in off-road environments.
  • Heavy-duty hitch ensures safe and secure towing.
  • Durable construction suitable for demanding use.

Cons

  • Requires assembly knowledge and tools.
  • Maximum load capacity of 204kgs may be insufficient for some heavy-duty needs.
  • Components are designed for a specific trailer build and may not be interchangeable with other systems.
  • Off-road focus means on-road performance might be less optimized.
  • Tire pressure should be maintained at 5psi, requiring regular checks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This kit requires assembly. Users will need to fabricate or source a trailer frame and attach the provided wheels, hubs, stub axles, and tow hitch. Ensure all bolts are securely tightened according to standard trailer building practices. The hitch is designed to fit round or square bars.

Compatibility: The wheels feature a 4x100mm PCD on steel rims. The ALKO stub axles have 35x35mm x 200mm solid steel shafts and are fitted with hubs that have a 100mm PCD and 4x 12mm wheel bolts. The tow hitch is compatible with towing hitches designed for round or square bars.

Care: Regularly inspect tire pressure, maintaining it at 5psi as recommended for these tires. Check that wheel nuts and hitch connections are secure before each use. The sealed bearings on the ALKO hubs are designed for longevity and typically do not require maintenance unless damaged. Clean components with a damp cloth as needed; avoid abrasive cleaners.
