Crafted to endure harsh outdoor conditions, this galvanised axle delivers reliable performance and extended life in demanding environments—from coastal job sites to rural workyards.

Designed for durability and precise fit, this axle is:

• High-capacity straight beam engineered for a 1500 kg profile, compatible with 9" drum braking configurations for dependable stopping power on trailers and light commercial builds.
• Galvanised finish to resist corrosion and extend service intervals, making it ideal for outdoor use, salt air environments, and frequent exposure to the elements.
• Leaf-spring compatibility tailored for traditional leaf-spring suspensions, with options for braked and non-braked configurations to suit your braking requirements.
• Robust beam construction available in 40 mm, 50 mm, or 65 mm square hollow box sections, chosen based on load and mounting space to balance strength and weight.
• Custom-fit approach manufactured to order with a lead time of at least six weeks, ensuring the axle is built to your exact specifications.

Key specification notes to ensure a precise fit:

• C measurement (face-to-face) is the distance from the outside face of one hub to the opposite hub face. This dimension helps ensure mounting compatibility with your existing hubs and brake drums.
• D measurement (center-to-center) refers to the distance between the springs’ mounting centers. This ensures your axle aligns correctly with the trailer’s spring hangers and suspension geometry.
• Axle beams are supplied in galvanised or bare metal finishes, with the galvanised option offering superior corrosion resistance for long-term reliability.

• Tailored for your project Because it’s made to order, Trojan can align C and D dimensions with your trailer layout, delivering a precise, plug-and-play installation when you receive the finished unit.
• Durability where it counts The galvanised finish, combined with the square box-section construction, delivers stiffness and protection against the rigours of daily trailer use, whether you’re transporting equipment, livestock, or cargo.
• Versatile deployment Suitable for builders, ranchers, and hobbyists who rely on robust axles that work with standard leaf-spring suspensions and compatible drum brake assemblies.
