The swing arm length is 160 mm , ensuring stability and optimal shock absorption, thus increasing driving safety, even when fully loaded.
Axles constitute the structural foundation of every trailer, ensuring its stability, durability, and adequate shock absorption during transport. They are a key element that allows for the safe transport of various loads. Choosing the right axles is crucial, as it influences the safety, ride comfort, and durability of the entire transport system. Proper shock absorption helps protect transported goods from damage, while the correct load capacity ensures stability during driving, especially in difficult conditions.
Trailer axles – versatility of applications
Trailer axles are distinguished by their versatility , making them suitable for various types of vehicles , such as cargo trailers, caravans, flatbed trailers, and livestock and equipment trailers. Their universal design allows for adaptation to a variety of transport conditions, regardless of the type of load being carried. These axles provide stability, safety, and ride comfort , making them a reliable solution for both everyday use and more specialized tasks. The ability to install additional components, such as shock absorbers, allows for further optimization of their performance, tailoring the trailer to individual needs.
Independent suspension and maintenance-free
The KNOTT rubber torsion suspension sets standards in durability and maintenance-free operation. Based on a solid, solid axle with rubber rollers, it is exceptionally resistant to wear . This design eliminates the need for regular inspections and lubrication, significantly reducing operating costs. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials, the KNOTT suspension maintains its properties even in harsh weather conditions, ensuring long-term, trouble-free operation.
Driving comfort thanks to the advanced suspension system
The suspension, based on a square axle profile with rubber rollers , provides effective shock absorption in all conditions. Its innovative design effectively absorbs shocks by compressing and stretching the rubber when driving over bumps, minimizing the impact of bumps on the trailer and cargo. This simple yet effective operating principle guarantees a smooth ride, minimizes the risk of cargo damage, and increases travel comfort, making KNOTT axles the ideal choice for demanding trailer users.
Advanced brake design and ease of maintenance
KNOTT axles are equipped with high-quality braking systems , in which precisely matched brake drums play a key role, ensuring optimal contact with the brake shoes and guaranteeing effective, uniform braking . The 250x40 Backmat brake not only ensures reliable operation even in difficult conditions, but thanks to the automatic reverse system, it significantly simplifies reverse maneuvering, eliminating the need to manually release the brake. The design, which allows for easy service and replacement, combined with full compliance with European safety standards, makes the KNOTT braking system an ideal choice for demanding trailer users who value reliability, safety, and ease of use.
Maintenance-free bearings and easy assembly
The axles feature advanced compact bearings , an integral part of their reliable system. These precision-engineered components combine high durability with ease of maintenance, offering optimal performance in a wide range of operating conditions. These bearings are factory-lubricated and sealed , eliminating the need for regular maintenance and adjustments. Combining durability, maintenance-free operation, and reliability, compact bearings significantly contribute to the overall safety and reliability of the axle.
Optimal protection against corrosion
Advanced anti-corrosion protection guarantees long-lasting durability and aesthetic appeal. The axle profile is hot-dip galvanized, providing comprehensive protection against rust and weathering, even in the most demanding conditions. At the same time, the brake hub is protected with a high-quality cataphoresis coating, known for its excellent adhesion and resistance to mechanical damage. This two-stage surface protection method not only significantly extends the axle's lifespan but also minimizes maintenance requirements , translating into lower operating costs and years of reliability.
