Gull Wing Axle - Disc Braked - 1750kg - Galvanised is a purpose-built beam axle engineered for heavy-duty trailers and equipment that demand reliable stopping power, long-lasting protection against the elements, and precisely tailored geometry. This is a made-to-order component, crafted to your specifications to ensure a perfect fit and optimal load distribution.

Key advantages you’ll feel on the job:

• High-capacity, Disc Braked performance: 1750 kg braking-capable, with a disc brake setup that delivers stronger, more consistent stopping across demanding loads and long runs, helping to reduce brake fade and improve trailer control.
• Gull Wing design with TopHat profile: A robust gull wing configuration built on a TopHat cross-section for enhanced torsional rigidity and dependable alignment, while accommodating leaf-spring suspensions for dependable ride characteristics.
• Corrosion-resistant galvanised finish: Fully galvanised options deliver superior protection in harsh environments, salt air, and frequent outdoor use, reducing maintenance and extending service life. Bare-metal versions are available if preferred.
• Tailored to your capacity and needs: Available in 40 mm, 50 mm, or 65 mm square hollow box section, selected to match the required capacity and stiffness for your application.
• Made to order with precise measurements: Each axle is manufactured to your specifications. You’ll provide C (face-to-face hub-to-hub), D (center-to-center spring mount), and E (bend depth) for Gull Wing configurations—60 mm, 90 mm, or 120 mm—so the finished axle aligns perfectly with your setup.
• Flexible finishing and hub options: Choose galvanised or bare metal, and add hubs as an optional service (see related products for details).
• Clear order process and lead time: This part is made to order with a lead time of at least 6 weeks. Download and complete the Axle Order Sheet (Adobe PDF) when you place your order to ensure accurate fabrication.

This Gull Wing axle is ideal for trailer builders, fleet operators, and workshop technicians who need reliable, load-ready axles that work harmoniously with leaf-spring suspensions. The gull wing bend depth (60/90/120 mm) provides the necessary clearance and mounting geometry to suit different hub positions and spring configurations, helping you achieve precise wheel alignment and optimal weight distribution across the axle.

How it compares to alternatives: Unlike straight-beam designs, the gull wing profile offers improved clearance around the spring mounts and hubs, while the TopHat section adds stiffness without adding excessive weight. The disc-braked option enhances braking performance on heavy trailers, especially under repeated stopping or mountainous terrain, delivering safer, more predictable operation than drum-braked equivalents.

Use cases and tips: - For boat trailers or high-utility trailers that endure salt spray and outdoor exposure, the galvanised finish delivers lasting protection with minimal maintenance. - When planning installation, gather precise measurements for C, D, and E, and use the Axle Order Sheet to capture all required data before fabrication begins. - If you plan to fit hubs, review the related products to select compatible hub configurations and bearings for your axle size and brake setup.

Ready to order? Here’s how to proceed:

1. Download the Axle Order Sheet (Adobe PDF) and fill in C, D, and E for Gull Wing configuration.
2. Choose your finish (galvanised or bare metal) and confirm disc-braked option.
3. Select the appropriate square hollow section (40/50/65 mm) based on capacity requirements.
4. Decide if you want hubs fitted to the axle and review related products for hub options.
5. Place the order and anticipate a lead time of at least 6 weeks from confirmation.

With the Gull Wing Axle - Disc Braked - 1750kg - Galvanised, you’re choosing a purpose-built solution that combines robust load capacity, reliable braking, and corrosion-resistant construction—delivered to your exact specifications for a drive that’s engineered to perform season after season.
