The Full Beam Duratorque Gull-Wing Beam Axle 3000kg is built for trailer applications that demand reliability under demanding loads. This self-contained Duratorque suspension uses specially formulated rubber cords as the springing medium, delivering independent wheel travel so each side reacts to uneven road surfaces without transferring sway from one wheel to the other. Ideal for boat trailers and other heavy-duty applications, it’s designed to be fitted directly to the chassis and built to your required length.

Why this Duratorque stands out

• Independent wheel suspension means improved stability and improved load handling—each wheel reacts to terrain independently for a smoother ride and safer towing.
• Self-contained unit with corrosion protection: all components are galvanised or electro zinc plated to resist the elements and extend service life.
• Customizable length—Duratorque Gull-Wing beams are tailored to your trailer length, with hub equipment sold separately to suit your configuration.
• Modular braking options—choose non-braked or braked hubs, including hydraulic disc, hydraulic drum (1250–3000kg capacities), and electric drum variants (1500–2200kg and 3000kg).
• Duratorque evolution—from July 2011, 1000kg to 1750kg versions feature a bolt-in replaceable stub axle for easier maintenance and serviceability.

Capacities, configurations and what’s included

• Carrying capacities span 1000kg, 1500kg, 1750kg, 2200kg, up to 3000kg in full beam or drop beam formats. Note that capacities are for single-axle setups; when mounted in tandem, total capacity is reduced by 25% (e.g., two 1500kg full-beam units carry 2250kg).
• Available in two-piece or full beam arrangements; 3000kg is offered as a full beam or drop beam version for higher-duty applications.
• Hubs and stubs are not included with the Duratorque units; assembly requires compatible hub equipment sold separately.
• This product is built to order and ships directly from the supplier; delivery times may vary. Spare parts are not included with this unit.

Fitment, clearances and installation tips

• Duratorques should be mounted with the swing arms trailing for best performance. In tandem configurations, keep the distance between tyres to a minimum and do not exceed 150mm.
• Maintain sufficient clearance between the top of the tyres and the mudguards when the system is new and unloaded—minimum 120mm.
• When ordering a full-beam Duratorque, provide your required length measurements A, B, and C as shown in the accompanying diagram to ensure a precise fit.
• For tandem installations, ensure the front axle is braked to maximise stability and control during towing.
• Minimum practical installation notes and measurements (A–F) vary by model (1000kg, 1500kg, 2200kg, 3000kg). Reference the specific model you select to confirm the exact mounting centers and clearances.

Who this is for and practical use cases

Designed for boat trailers and other heavy-duty trailers where weight distribution and controlled handling are critical, the Full Beam Duratorque 3000kg is ideal for owners who build or customize trailers to exact tolerances. It’s particularly well-suited for trailers that require custom length to fit boats or equipment, where a robust, self-contained suspension reduces road shocks and improves control at speed.
