Introducing the Drop Beam Axle - Disc Braked - 1500kg - Bare Metal, a purpose-built solution designed for trailers and light-duty commercial builds that demand reliable braking and precise geometry. Built for leaf-spring suspensions, this drop-beam configuration lifts ground clearance where you need it most, while delivering confident, single-axle performance.

Key features that set this axle apart:

• Disc-braked design provides stronger, consistent stopping power with reduced brake fade on long pulls.
• Rated for 1500 kg, making it suitable for a wide range of trailer sizes and applications.
• Available in bare metal or galvanised finish to suit environmental exposure and corrosion protection needs.
• Manufactured to order with precise geometry tailored to your specifications, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Beam options in Trojan’s range include straight, drop beam, and gull wing configurations; this unit is the drop beam variant optimized for increased clearance.

Precise measurements for a perfect fit

• C – Face-to-face (hub to hub): the distance from the outside face of one hub to the opposite hub.
• D – Center-to-center of spring mounts: the distance between the spring mounting centers.
• B – Drop height (only for drop-beam axles): available in 60 mm or 90 mm to tailor clearance and load distribution.
• E – Bend depth (for gull-wing variants only): selectable as 60 mm, 90 mm, or 120 mm; this dimension is not applicable to the drop-beam unit.

Ordering and practical setup

• This axle is made to order with a lead time of at least six weeks, so plan ahead for your build schedule.
• Download and complete the Axle Order Sheet (Adobe PDF) when placing your order to ensure all measurements and options are captured accurately.
• If you need hubs fitted to your new axle, you can arrange this as part of the order or select related options during purchase.

Why choose this disc-braked, drop-beam axle?

• Ideal for trailers and light vehicles where reliable braking performance and consistent alignment are critical, especially under load.
• Drop-beam design enhances ground clearance, helping you navigate uneven terrain or exposed workflows without compromising axle alignment.
• Versatile finishing options (bare metal or galvanised) ensure compatibility with your build environment and desired lifespan.
• Manufactured to your exact footprint and mounting needs, reducing the risk of fitment issues and on-site adjustments.

Who is this axle best suited for?

• Trailer builders and installers seeking a robust, disc-braked solution with precise drop-beam geometry.
• Equipment haulers and utility trailer operators who require dependable stopping power and predictable performance under varying loads.
• Builders planning to specify exact C, D, and B measurements to match existing suspension geometry and tire/wheel configurations.

Tips for best results

• Gather precise C and D measurements before ordering; for drop-beam applications, confirm B (drop height) to align with your mounting points.
• Decide early if you prefer bare metal or galvanised treatment, considering environmental exposure and maintenance plans.
• Use the Axle Order Sheet to document all necessary details, including any hub requirements, to avoid delays.
