FAQs

What is the maximum weight capacity of this kit?

The maximum weight capacity for this kit is 350kg per pair of suspension units.

What type of tires are included?

The kit includes 145R10 radial tires fitted on 10" steel wheels.

What is the stub axle size?

The stub axle has a 1" diameter and a 2" long bearing surface.

How do I adjust the taper roller bearings?

Adjustable taper roller bearings typically require tightening until slight drag is felt, then backing off slightly until free movement with minimal play is achieved. Consult the specific bearing documentation for precise instructions.

Can I use these suspension units on a heavier trailer?

No, this kit is rated for a maximum of 350kg. Using it on a trailer exceeding this weight limit can lead to failure and is unsafe.

What is the hub's PCD?

The hubs have a 4-inch PCD (Pitch Circle Diameter).

What is included in the kit?

The kit includes 1 pair of 350kg Suspension Units, 2 x 10" Steel Wheels with 145R10 Radial Tires, 2 x 4" PCD Trailer Hubs, 2 x Bearing Sets (with seals), 2 x Hub Caps, and 8 x Wheel Nuts.

Troubleshooting

Trailer wobbles excessively during towing.

Check wheel nut tightness. Ensure bearings are correctly adjusted and not too loose or too tight. Verify tire pressures are correct. Inspect suspension arms for any signs of damage or excessive flex.

Wheel bearing seems loose or noisy.

The taper roller bearings may need adjustment or replacement. Refer to the bearing manufacturer's guidelines for proper adjustment procedures. If noise persists, the bearings may be worn and require replacement.

Tires are wearing unevenly.

Check wheel alignment if applicable. Ensure tires are properly inflated. Verify that the suspension units are not damaged and are allowing for correct wheel movement. Uneven wear can also be caused by overloading the trailer.

Suspension unit appears to be sagging or damaged.

Inspect the suspension arms and mounting points for cracks or deformation. If damage is found, the suspension unit may need to be replaced. Ensure the trailer's load does not exceed the 350kg capacity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Robust galvanized construction for longevity.
  • Solid suspension arms offer superior strength.
  • Adjustable taper roller bearings contribute to extended service life.
  • Radial tires improve stability and tire wear.
  • Comprehensive kit provides all necessary components for a running gear replacement.

Cons

  • Stub axle size (1" diameter, 2" long bearing surface) may not be compatible with all trailer frames without modification.
  • Mounting hole dimensions (76mm length, 78mm width) require precise alignment with the trailer chassis.
  • Suitable only for trailers up to 350kg capacity; not for heavier loads.
  • Requires user to have appropriate tools and knowledge for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Installation involves mounting the suspension units to the trailer chassis, typically requiring drilling and bolting through the chassis frame. Ensure the suspension unit mounting holes (76mm along length, 78mm across width) align correctly with your trailer frame. Attach the hubs to the stub axles of the suspension units, install the bearings (including seals) into the hubs, and then fit the wheel assemblies (wheels with tires and nuts) onto the hubs. Ensure wheel nuts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for trailers with a maximum gross weight of 350kg. Key dimensions to verify for compatibility are:

  • Stub axle size: 1" diameter, 2" long bearing surface.
  • Suspension mounting hole spacing: 76mm (lengthwise) and 78mm (widthwise).
  • Hub PCD: 4 inches.

Care: To ensure longevity, regularly inspect the wheels, tires, and suspension units for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the hubs clean and lubricate the bearings as per the bearing manufacturer's recommendations, or at least annually. Check tire pressures regularly. After washing the trailer, ensure no water is trapped within the hub assemblies. The galvanized finish should be maintained by avoiding abrasive cleaners that could scratch the protective layer.
