The Full Beam Duratorque, 2200kg, Straight Beam 275mm, Low-Rider is engineered for trailers that demand strength, stability, and a lower profile without compromising load handling. This high-capacity, self-contained suspension brings independent, wheel-by-wheel control to your trailer, helping you maintain traction and ride quality across uneven surfaces while keeping the overall height down for easier loading and a sleeker look.

Why Duratorque stands out is its simple, robust design. Each wheel is independently sprung by a durable rubber cord system, so the two sides aren’t interconnected. That means your trailer maintains grip even when one wheel encounters a bump or dip, reducing sway and improving steering accuracy under heavy loads. All Duratorque components are galvanised or electro zinc plated for corrosion resistance in even the harshest environments, from coastal roads to off-road sites.

Key features that matter in real-world use

• High carrying capacity: This 2200kg full beam Duratorque suits heavy trailers and equipment, with variants available up to 3000kg for full beam configurations.
• Sculpted for a low stance: The Low-Rider design lowers the trailer’s ride height, which improves stability and makes boat trailers sit comfortably lower on the chock, reducing wind resistance and improving loading ergonomics.
• Flexible hub options: You can choose either non-braked or braked hubs. Available braking configurations include hydraulic disc brakes and electric drum brakes (including 1500kg, 1750kg, 2200kg, and 3000kg capacities, depending on the variant).
• Two-piece or full-beam versatility: Pick a two-piece unit to fit any chassis width, or a full-beam variant tailored to your exact length and mounting needs. Full beams are also offered in a gull-wing form for boat trailer applications, allowing the boat to sit lower on the trailer for easier deployment.
• Independent wheel performance: With Duratorque, each wheel’s suspension reacts individually, delivering superior ride quality and traction on rough roads or soft surfacing.
• Durability and protection: Corrosion protection is built in, with components designed to withstand the elements year after year.
• Precise installation and compatibility: Duratorques can be fitted with either braked or non-braked hubs; when mounted in tandem, keep axle spacing tight to maximize performance and safety.

Configuration and practical considerations

• Straight beam type: 275mm straight beam design for stable alignment and predictable load distribution.
• Tandem configurations: If you pair two Duratorques on a tandem setup, each Duratorque’s effective capacity is reduced by 25%. For example, two 1500kg units carry 2250kg in total for the tandem setup.
• Spacing and clearance guidance: For optimal clearance, keep the distance between the tyres as small as possible when mounted in tandem, not exceeding 150mm. Ensure a minimum of 120mm between the top of the tyres and the mudguards when the Duratorques are new and unloaded.
• Mounting orientation: It is recommended to mount Duratorques with the swing arms trailing for best performance and longevity.

Lead time, ordering, and setup

This Duratorque is a made-to-order component with a 6–8 week lead time. When you place your order, please download, fill out, and return the axle order sheet so we can tailor the setup to your chassis. Hub equipment is ordered separately, giving you flexibility to choose the braking and hub configuration that best suits your trailer application. If you’re planning a two-axle setup, remember to account for the 25% capacity reduction per axle when calculating total trailer load.

Who should consider the Full Beam Duratorque 2200kg Low-Rider?

• Boat trailer owners seeking a lower profile without sacrificing payload or stability.
• Heavy equipment trailers that require robust, reliable independent suspension and corrosion protection.
• Trailer builders looking for a modular, configurable solution with ample braking options and beam-length flexibility.
