The Drop Beam Axle - Non-Braked - 1750kg - Bare Metal is Trojan’s precision-built, custom solution for trailers and light commercial configurations that rely on leaf-spring suspensions. Designed to be tailored to your exact drivetrain and chassis, this drop-beam axle delivers reliable load distribution, improved ride height, and straightforward integration with your existing suspension setup.

• Capacity and type: non-braked axle rated at 1,750 kg, ideal when braking is handled elsewhere on the vehicle or by the towing system.
• Drop-beam geometry: engineered to achieve the required ride height while maintaining strong, consistent support of the leaf-spring suspension.
• Finish options: bare metal as standard, with galvanised coating available to suit environmental exposure and maintenance needs.
• Custom manufacturing: beams are produced to firm order, ensuring the axle matches your exact measurements and mounting configuration.
• Sizing and material: depending on capacity, axles use 40 mm, 50 mm or 65 mm square hollow box sections to balance strength and weight.
• Order precision: to ensure a perfect fit, you’ll provide precise dimensions during ordering, including the critical C & D measurements (see below).

What you need to specify when ordering

Because this is a bespoke component, the following measurements are essential for the Drop Beam Axle:

• C — face-to-face measurement from the outside face of one hub to the opposite hub face.
• D — center-to-center distance of the springs’ mounting position.
• B — the height of the drop for drop-beam axles (either 60 mm or 90 mm).

For reference, Gull Wing and other beam variants require additional data (such as E for bend depth) to complete the specification, but this product is the Drop Beam variant and uses C, D and B to capture its geometry.

Ordering and build details

Every axle is manufactured to order with a lead time of at least six weeks. To ensure your order is correct the first time, please download and fill out the Axle Order Sheet (Adobe PDF) when ordering. If you need hubs fitted to the new axle, you can view related products below for fitting options.

Trojan’s approach means this drop beam axle is not only a component, but a tailored part of your vehicle’s drivetrain. It’s an ideal choice for builders who require precise alignment with existing leaf-spring suspensions, consistent load distribution, and a finish that matches project timelines and environmental conditions.

Ideal use cases and practical considerations

• Trailer builds where leaf-spring suspension is standard and precise ride height is critical for clearance and load balance.
• Light commercial trailers, utility trailers, and agricultural applications where a robust, non-braked axle is paired with a separate braking system or towing scheme.
• Projects that demand a bare metal finish for rapid coating or corrosion-control workflows, with galvanised as a longer-term protection option.
• Customers who value a truly custom-fit axle that accounts for C, D, and B measurements to ensure mounting accuracy and performance.

Ready to start? Gather your C, D, and B measurements, review the Axle Order Sheet, and plan for a six-week lead time. If you anticipate needing hubs pre-fitted, check the related products for available options. This Drop Beam Axle is built to your exact specifications, delivering dependable support for your leaf-spring suspension while aligning with your unique build requirements.
