This 2-pack of AB Tools trailer trolley wheel hubs, wheels, and stub axles is ideal for DIY off-road trailer, trolley, and material truck builds. It offers a robust 500kg max capacity per pair and includes taper roller bearings for smooth operation. A potential caveat is that on-road use requires fitting to a suitable suspension system.

The maximum capacity for the pair (two hubs, two wheels, two axles) is 500kg.
They can be used on road trailers, but only when fitted to a suitable suspension system to meet road safety regulations.
The wheels and tyres are 8" in diameter, specifically sized as 4.00-8".
The kit includes taper roller bearings for both the inner and outer positions, featuring integral seals for the inner bearings.
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter. A 4" PCD means the distance diagonally across the center of the hub from one stud hole to the opposite one is 4 inches. This indicates the spacing of the wheel studs.
The kit includes most necessary components like nuts, washers, and split pins. However, you will need appropriate welding equipment and consumables to attach the stub axles to your trailer frame.
It's recommended to check and replenish the grease periodically, especially after heavy use or submersion in water. A general guideline is to grease them at least annually or as part of regular trailer maintenance.
Check that the wheel nuts are securely tightened to the correct torque. Ensure the bearings are properly seated and lubricated. Verify the tyre is correctly mounted on the wheel and inflated to the recommended pressure.
Ensure the intended mounting point on the trailer frame is clean, flat, and correctly prepared for welding. Minor adjustments may be needed to the frame or axle end for a precise fit.
The bearings may require additional lubrication or may be damaged. Clean and repack the bearings with appropriate grease, or replace them if wear or damage is evident.
Ensure the hub cap is the correct type for the hub. Check for any deformation on the hub cap or the hub itself. Gentle tapping with a rubber mallet may help seat it properly.
Setup: The primary installation step involves welding the provided stub axles into your trailer frame or chassis. Once the stub axles are securely in place, the hub assembly can be fitted. This includes installing the inner and outer taper roller bearings, followed by the wheel and tyre. Secure the wheel using the supplied wheel nuts. Ensure the castle nut and split pin are correctly installed to prevent the hub from detaching. Periodically check and replenish grease via the hub's grease nipple.
Compatibility: The hubs feature a 4-stud pattern with a 4" PCD. This is a common standard, but always verify compatibility with your specific trailer design or intended use. The tyres are 4.00-8" size.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity, regularly clean the hubs and wheels. Inspect bearings for wear or damage during maintenance. Ensure the grease nipple is clean and functional for easy lubrication. For prolonged storage, it is advisable to lift the trailer to take the weight off the wheels and tyres.
