Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with Standard Spindles – 89″ Long – 3,500 lbs

Description

Dexter Trailer Axles

Round trailer axle beam measures 89″ from hub face to hub face (when hubs – sold separately – are mounted) and 74″ from spring center to spring center.

Features:

• Round axle beam acts as part of your trailer’s suspension system
  • Replace an axle on your trailer
  • Fabricate a suspension to fit your application
• High-strength steel construction
• Bend in axle creates zero camber angle for even road-to-tread contact across the width of your trailer’s tires
  • Best for straight-line acceleration and steady, controlled towing
• Underslung design – spring seats welded to underside of axle for mounting leaf springs (sold separately)
  • Low ride height makes it easier to load and unload your trailer
• Straight spindles – no drop
  • Standard grease application
• Spring seats, brake flanges, and spindles are welded on
• Limited 2-year warranty

Axle Dimensions

There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).

The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.

Another helpful measurement to have is the flange-to-flange (C) length, which is measured from the outside of one brake flange to the outside of the one opposite. This length may be easy to obtain if you are replacing an axle, but it’s important to note that this measurement is not the preferred method for determining which axle will best fit your trailer.

If you are replacing your trailer’s axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer’s capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.

Dexters

Dexters are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy loading and unloading.
