2,000 lb Torsion Axle Construction
As a leading trailer axle and parts store with deep roots in the industry, Duratek Axles is known for delivering reliable, high-performance parts. We build our 2k torsion axles to be user-friendly and tough enough to perform smoothly in real-world applications.
This product features several critical components:
- A sophisticated suspension system: A central beam of rubber cords acts as the primary torsion element. The cords twist and compress to absorb energy during suspension movement.
- A robust axle tube: This tube houses the rubber cords and adds to the heavy-duty construction.
- Secure mounting brackets: These are crucial for stability and alignment of the axle to the trailer frame.
- Precision-machined wheel spindles: These connect the hub to the axle beam.
- A fully customized hub system: Available in idler, drum or no-hub options to align with your application requirements.
- Integrated grease fittings: This allows for easy lubrication of the spindle bearings.
- Versatile brake flange: This mounted fitting facilitates optional electric or hydraulic brake installation.
Torsion trailer axles are built with a rectangular beam that houses rubber cords, which provide suspension by compressing and twisting within the axle tube. The wheel spindles are fixed to the ends of this beam, allowing for independent wheel movement and a smoother ride quality. This integrated axle design creates a robust, low-maintenance suspension system capable of handling 2,000-pound loads.

Usage
2,000 lb Torsion Trailer Axles are popular for their durability and minimal maintenance requirements. They are perfect for light to medium-duty trailer applications.
Common personal and light commercial applications include:
- Personal use: Moving furniture, landscaping equipment, DIY building materials
- Recreational transportation: Transporting vacation cargo, motorcycles, camping gear or small watercraft.
- Light commercial applications: Hauling supplies, plants, mowers, small equipment and parts.
- Small-scale contractors: Carting service tools, repair equipment and spare parts.
Installation
Torsion Trailer Axles must be welded or bolted directly to your trailer's frame. Precise alignment with the trailer's centerline is required to ensure stability and eliminate tre wear. The secure mounting provides additional support and stability, which is well-suited for long distances.
Maintenance and Repair
Maintaining a Torsion Trailer Axle involves regularly inspecting the arms to ensure they remain at their original degree and that the mounting hardware and axle beam are free from rust and damage. If the rubber torsion components fail, you may need to replace the entire axle assembly, as they are integrated and not serviceable individually.
We recommend regular maintenance inspections that should include:
- Lubricating the grease fittings.
- Checking that all nuts and bolts are tight.
- Applying a rust inhibitor.
- Thoroughly cleaning all components.
