Straight Beam Axle - Disc-Braked - 1500kg - Bare Metal from Trojan is a rugged, purpose-built solution for trailers and light-duty vehicles that rely on a dependable leaf-spring setup. This disc-braked straight beam axle is designed to deliver consistent braking performance, straightforward installation, and a long service life in demanding environments.

Why this Straight Beam Axle stands out

• Disc-braked reliability: A dedicated disc braking option provides strong stopping power with predictable response, ideal for trailers that require solid braking performance under load.
• Heavy-duty bare metal build: Constructed in a 50 x 50 RHS (square hollow section) format for strength and stiffness, ready for galvanising or final finishing as needed.
• High-capacity, purpose-built: Rated at 1500 kg, making it a solid choice for mid-weight to heavy trailer applications that demand robust load handling.
• Designed for leaf-spring suspensions: Specifically engineered to work in harmony with leaf-spring setups, ensuring correct geometry and reliability over time.
• Made to order with clear process: This part is manufactured to your exact specifications, with a minimum lead time of six weeks. Orders are placed using the Axle Order Sheet to ensure all measurements and options are captured accurately.
• Customisation options available: All axles can be supplied bare metal or galvanised, and Trojan can outfit hubs if required. If you need hubs fitted to your new axle, you can explore related products during checkout.

Precise fit, measured for your trailer

Trojan provides a clear measurement framework to ensure your axle aligns perfectly with your trailer design:

• Face-to-face measurement (C): The distance from the outside face of one hub to the opposite hub. This ensures correct hub spacing for balanced braking and wheel alignment.
• Spring-mounted position (D): The center-to-center distance of the springs, which determines how the axle rides and how your trailer distributes load.

Ordering is straightforward: download and complete the Axle Order Sheet (Adobe PDF) and return it with your order. The sheet captures all essential details, including C and D, to tailor the axle to your chassis. If you’re building a new trailer or replacing an axle in an existing setup, Trojan’s Straight Beam Axle delivers consistent performance with minimal guesswork.

What you’ll get with this disc-braked straight beam axle

• Robust beam design built from square hollow box sections to resist bending and deflection under load.
• Braked configuration aimed at reliable stopping power, compatible with standard braking components and hub layouts.
• Flexible finishing options: Bare metal for custom finishes or galvanised protection to withstand corrosion in harsher environments.
• Compatibility and versatility: Aimed at trailers, utility vehicles, and agricultural equipment that rely on leaf-spring suspensions and a solid, straight axle alignment.
• Brand assurance: Trojan’s experience in beam axles means you’re getting a component designed to fit common chassis patterns and real-world operating conditions.

Ideal use cases and installation considerations

This straight beam axle is particularly well-suited for:

• Trailers used in construction, farming, or maintenance where predictable braking and load handling matter.
• Utility trailers that require a straightforward, robust axle with a simple mounting arrangement.
• Repairs or upgrades where a 1500 kg capacity aligns with your existing or planned payload while preserving leaf-spring suspension geometry.

Installation tips to maximize performance:

• Before ordering, confirm C and D measurements match your hub spacing and spring position requirements to ensure correct alignment and braking geometry.
• Specify your preference for bare metal or galvanised finish to suit climate exposure and maintenance plans.
• If hubs aren’t pre-fitted, plan for compatible hub kits and bearings as part of the overall brake system integration.
