Drop Beam Axle - Disc Braked - 1750kg - Galvanised is a purpose-built trailer axle designed for leaf-spring suspensions. Crafted to order with a robust 1,750 kg capacity and a corrosion-resistant galvanised finish, it delivers dependable braking performance and long-lasting durability for mid-sized trailers used in construction, agriculture, and general hauling.

Key features that matter in the real world

• Braking performance you can rely on — disc braking provides steady stopping power across a variety of road and weather conditions.
• Heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant finish — galvanised to extend service life in harsh environments, reducing maintenance downtime.
• Drop-beam geometry for better clearance — lowers the deck height to maximise cargo space while preserving strength and load capacity.
• Customizable options tailored to your trailer — designed for leaf-spring suspensions and available in straight beam, drop beam, and gull wing configurations with braked or non-braked variants. Beams are manufactured in 40 mm, 50 mm, or 65 mm square hollow box sections depending on capacity.
• Precise fit requires specific measurements — provide C (face-to-face hub-to-hub) and D (center-to-center of the springs) for all drop and straight beams. For gull wing beams, you’ll also specify E (bend depth). For drop beams, supply B (drop height) as 60 mm or 90 mm.
• Made to order with a lead time — allow at least six weeks for production. To ensure accurate fabrication, download and complete the Axle Order Sheet (Adobe PDF) when placing your order.
• Hubs and upgrade options — if you need hubs fitted to your new axle, this can be arranged as part of the ordering process or via related products.

Why this drops into place for your trailer project — the combination of disc brakes, a galvanised finish, and a drop beam design translates into safer, more predictable braking performance, easier installation, and extended life in challenging environments. It’s an ideal choice for builders and end-users aiming to retrofit or assemble trailers used for equipment transport, agricultural work, or maintenance fleets.

Practical guidance for ordering and installation

• Have your C and D measurements ready to ensure the axle aligns with existing mounting points and hub spacing.
• Decide on the drop height (B) for optimal deck clearance, choosing between 60 mm and 90 mm.
• If you’re commissioning hubs, plan for them at the time of order to receive a fully ready-to-run axle on delivery.
• Remember: this part is made to order with a minimum lead time of six weeks, so factor this into your project timeline.
