Introducing the Full Beam Duratorque, 1750kg, Top Hat — a purpose-built trailer suspension that combines independent wheel action with rugged, corrosion-resistant construction. Designed to handle the demands of all trailer types, it delivers a smoother ride, better load distribution, and dependable performance under demanding loads.

Why choose Duratorque for your trailer? Duratorque is a superior suspension system that uses specially formulated rubber cords as the springing medium. Each wheel is independently sprung, so the trailer remains stable and responsive even when one side encounters bumps or irregularities. All Duratorque components are protected against the elements with galvanised or electro zinc plating, ensuring longevity in harsh conditions.

Key specifications and configurations

• Carrying capacities: 1000kg, 1500kg, 1750kg–2200kg (in two-piece and full-beam configurations); 3000kg in full and drop-beam options. Note: these figures apply to single-axle setups; tandem installations require a 25% capacity reduction per axle.
• Braked vs non-braked hubs: compatible with non-braked hubs or a range of brakes, including disc brakes and electric drum brakes. Electric drum brakes are available in 1750kg and 2200kg capacities, while other capacities use hydraulic disc brakes or standard disc/braked hubs.
• Beam options: two-piece units to fit any chassis width, and full-beam Duratorques, with gull-wing variants available for boat trailers to lower the boat’s stance on the trailer.
• Mounted orientation: Duratorques are best fitted with the swing arms trailing for optimal stability. When used in tandem, keep the tyre spacing to a minimum—no more than 150mm—and ensure at least 120mm clearance between the top of the tyres and mudguards when new and unloaded.
• Labels and sizing: Duratorque halves are labeled with the total capacity per pair, not per side, and tandem configurations require capacity adjustments as noted above.

Dimensions and measurement guidance Duratorque measurements are essential when selecting the correct length for your trailer. The measurement diagram provides critical C & B length details to ensure a perfect fit. For reference, the diagram is included with the Duratorque documentation and imagery.

Made to order with a 6–8 week lead time, this part requires you to download and fill out the Axle Order Sheet before purchase. Hub equipment is ordered separately, allowing you to tailor the braking and hub configuration to your trailer’s exact needs.
