AL-KO EURO braked axle for trailer/car carrier 1800kg 1650mm 2150mm 5x112
AL-KO EURO braked axle for trailer/car carrier 1800kg 1650mm 2150mm 5x112
AL-KO 's braked axle is designed for heavy-duty trailers and flatbeds, offering a maximum load capacity of 1,800 kg for a single axle and 3,500 kg for a tandem axle. The mounting hole spacing is 1,200 mm, and the hub spacing is 1,700 mm , allowing for easy installation on a wide range of vehicles. The 5x112 bolt pattern ensures compatibility with a wide range of wheels available on the market . The swing arm length is 175 mm , ensuring stability and optimal shock absorption, thus increasing driving safety, even when fully loaded. Additionally, the axle is equipped with a shock absorber mount, further enhancing comfort and stability during travel.
Axles are 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 safety, driving comfort, and the 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
Thanks to the independent suspension , each wheel is damped individually , meaning road irregularities only affect the side they are on. This system is maintenance-free and allows users to save on servicing and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the axle design eliminates the risk of damage to the wheel arch and other components caused by excessive swingarm rotation, even under heavy loads.
Driving comfort thanks to the advanced suspension system
Modern axles, such as those with the AL-KO hexagonal suspension system with rubber rollers , offer significantly improved ride comfort . Large deflection angles and softer damping make the trailer ride smoother and effectively reduce vibrations . Compared to standard steering axle systems, this suspension allows for more effective damping of road irregularities, increasing user comfort and safety.
Advanced brake design and ease of maintenance
The advanced brake design features axles with brake drums equipped with cooling fins that provide improved heat dissipation , increasing braking system efficiency. Furthermore, the axles and braking mechanisms are bolted , allowing for easy removal of the entire braking mechanism after unscrewing the bolts, significantly simplifying maintenance. The special gearing also allows for the brake cable outlet position to be changed, adapting it to the user's individual needs, enhancing the system's functionality.
Maintenance-free bearings and easy assembly
The axles are equipped with double angular contact ball bearings (compact bearings) rated for 250,000 km of operation . They are lubricated for life with a special water-repellent grease, preventing contaminants from entering. Additional safety features, such as double hub seals, protect the mechanisms from water and dirt . Standardized torque makes axle assembly quick and easy.
Optimal protection against corrosion
The axle profile, frame, and housing of the overrun devices are protected against corrosion by hot-dip galvanizing , guaranteeing protection for 10 years. Steel components requiring high precision are galvanized, providing 5 years of corrosion protection. For the most precise parts, electro-galvanizing is used, providing protection for 4 years. These various galvanizing methods effectively protect all components, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to external factors .
