Duratek's 3500 lb. Torsion Trailer Axles are heavy-duty performers ideal for transportation companies. The durability of Torsion Axles makes them a top choice for companies seeking reduced maintenance costs. Torsion Axles are ideal for a smooth ride thanks to their independent wheel suspension.
Usage
Duratek Axles' American made 3,500 lb. torsion trailer axles are ideal for highway travel and transporting smaller loads, such as lawn equipment and household appliances. Trailer owners choose these systems for independent wheel suspension and reduced maintenance costs.
Installation
A 3,500 lb. torsion axle attaches directly to the frame of your trailer. You can either weld or bolt on the axle. Welding is a more permanent solution that offers extra strength, while bolts can be unscrewed at a later point to switch out the axle. Both attachment options provide added support and stability for travel, ideal for excessive highway miles.
Maintenance and Repair
Routinely perform preventive maintenance on your trailer to catch any signs of early damage. Regularly inspect the arms to make sure they still remain at their original degree.
You will need to look out for rust and damage on the axle beam and mounting hardware. If the rubber torsion elements fail, the entire axle will likely need to be replaced — those elements are integrated, so you cannot remove them for separate servicing.
Construction
Duratek Axles' 3,500 lb. torsion axles use a rectangular beam, rubber cords, and wheel spindles to function. Within the axle tube, the rubber chords compress and twist, providing suspension for the trailer. The wheels independently move thanks to the wheel spindles attached to the ends of the rectangular beam.
