Axles are the most important component of utility trailers.
You might think the trailer body and wheels are the most vital parts to ensure your load gets from one place to another without damage. However, the components essential for utility trailer dependability and safety are the axles, brakes, overrun devices, and couplings.
Selecting the right axle component for your needs depends on the number of axles a utility trailer has, what will be towed with your utility trailer, and where you plan to use the trailer. General utility trailers hauling lighter loads over smooth pavement would benefit from leaf spring systems. Alternatively, heavier loads transferred via utility trailers over rough roads should be outfitted with torsion axle systems.
Manufacturers of general utility trailers consistently turn to DexKo to obtain affordable, dependable, and versatile axle assemblies. All torsion and sprung axles made by DexKo have been thoroughly tested using rigorous quality-control processes. Our QA methods ensure axle systems meet or exceed medium- to heavy-duty capacity standards.
