Bent axle, unusual tire wear, or obsolete parts? We identify the axle, take the measurements, and guide you to the right repair or replacement.
Axles are not one-size-fits-all. Hub-face width, mounting-center measurements, capacity, brake configuration, spindle type, and suspension all have to match the trailer. That is why a serial number or accurate measurements matter before a replacement is ordered.
If you call before bringing the trailer in, the axle brand and serial number are the most helpful starting points. If those are not available, hub-face and spring-center mounting measurements can help us identify the right path.
Tandem-axle replacement varies widely with capacity, measurements, brakes, suspension parts, and freight. We measure first and provide a job-specific estimate before ordering.
These ranges are based on common scenarios supplied by our shop and are not a quote. Parts prices, trailer condition, configuration, and labor can change the final cost.
We record the axle brand, serial number, capacity, hub face, and mounting dimensions.
We determine whether the existing axle can be serviced or a correctly matched replacement is needed.
We check stocked and local options, order when necessary, install the axle, and verify the setup.
If possible, have the axle brand and serial number ready when you call. No tag? Bring the trailer to our Nappanee shop and we can measure it for you.
The hub-face width and mounting-center measurement are key, along with capacity, brake configuration, and suspension details. A readable manufacturer serial number can make identification easier.
A common matching axle may be available from a distributor in about three business days, and local sources can sometimes be faster. Custom axles up to 8K are often two to three weeks; 9K and larger axles are often three to four weeks.
Heavier springs alone do not increase the rating of the axle, frame, coupler, tires, wheels, or trailer. If more capacity is needed, we can discuss whether a complete axle and system upgrade makes sense.
Bring the trailer to our shop for a diagnosis and a repair plan based on the condition we find.
