Drop Beam Axle - Non-Braked - 1750kg - Bare Metal from Trojan is crafted to meet exacting suspension and mounting requirements for leaf-spring setups. This drop-beam variant is designed for precise, customer-specific builds, ensuring your trailer or light commercial vehicle achieves the intended geometry and performance when paired with the right hubs and chassis.

Important lead time: This part is made to order, with a lead time of at least 6 weeks. When ordering, please download and fill out the Axle Order Sheet (Adobe PDF) to capture your exact specifications.

Trojan offers a wide range of beam axles to suit most applications, including straight beam, drop beam, and gull wing types, with both braked and non-braked options. All axles can be supplied either galvanised or in bare metal form, depending on your corrosion resistance needs and operating environment.

Key specifications and design details

• Capacity: 1750 kg nominal load capacity for standard trailer configurations.
• Braking: Non-braked variant (no integrated braking system).
• Finish: Bare metal by default; galvanised finishes available for enhanced corrosion resistance.
• Beam construction: Available as square hollow box section in 40 mm, 50 mm or 65 mm sizes, chosen based on capacity and design requirements.
• Type: Drop beam axle specific variant, optimized for precise drop geometry in leaf-spring suspensions.

Critical measurements you’ll need to specify

• C — Face-to-face measurement from the outside face of one hub to the opposite hub.
• D — Center-to-center distance of the spring mounting position.
• B — Drop height for drop-beam axles ( selectable as 60 mm or 90 mm).
• E — Depth of bend for Gull Wing axles (60 mm, 90 mm or 120 mm); not applicable to the drop-beam variant but listed for reference if your project includes Gull Wing configurations.

Hubs and fitment: If you need hubs fitted to your new axle, Trojan can accommodate this through related products during the ordering process. In addition, you can choose between galvanised or bare metal finishes to suit your environment and maintenance preferences.

Ideal applications and practical use cases

This 1750 kg non-braked, bare metal drop beam axle is well-suited for builders and operators who require precise alignment with existing suspension geometry and mounting points. Ideal scenarios include:

• Custom trailer builds where a defined drop height (B) is critical to achieving the desired frame clearance and weight distribution.
• Leaf-spring suspension retrofits where exact hub spacing (C) and spring mount positions (D) must be maintained for safe towing and alignment.
• Projects demanding a bare-metal finish with a galvanised option for harsh environments, ensuring longevity in challenging conditions.

Compared to generic, off-the-shelf axles, this Drop Beam Axle offers a truly tailored solution: you specify the essential geometry (C, D, B, and if applicable E), the finish (bare metal or galvanised), and whether hubs should be included. The result is an axle that integrates seamlessly with your frame, suspension, and load requirements, reducing on-site adjustments and project lead times.

If you’re planning a bespoke trailer, platform trailer, or light commercial build that relies on a robust leaf-spring suspension, this non-braked drop beam axle provides the exacting specifications and durable construction you need—made to order and built to your measurements.
