The Straight Beam Axle - Non-Braked - 1500kg - Galvanised from Trojan is a purpose-built solution for robust trailer and light vehicle applications that rely on a dependable leaf-spring suspension. Engineered for durability and ease of integration, this galvanised straight beam axle delivers reliable performance in outdoor, demanding conditions where corrosion resistance and straightforward installation matter most.

Why this straight beam axle stands out

• High-capacity, non-braked design. Specifically rated for up to 1500 kg, ideal for trailers, importers, and light industrial platforms that don’t require electric or hydraulic braking systems.
• Galvanised finish. Built to endure the elements, resist corrosion, and extend service life in outdoor environments without frequent repainting.
• 30-40% stronger than bare metal alternatives in typical outdoor trailer use due to the galvanised coating and precision fabrication.
• Solid compatibility with leaf spring suspensions. Designed to work seamlessly with common leaf spring configurations for predictable handling and ride characteristics.
• Rigid 50 x 50 RHS form factor. A reliable, square hollow section that provides stiffness and straightforward mounting for hubs, wheels, and suspension components.

Technical details and practical specifications
