Features to know about

Smooth, Steady Towing Every Time: Built for Straight-Line Control

This 2,000 lb round trailer axle keeps your trailer tracking true with a carefully engineered bend in the beam. That slight upward crown gives your tires even contact across the tread for steady, in-line towing and even wear. At 60" from hub face to hub face and 48" from spring center to spring center, it’s designed for balanced support and confident road manners wherever you go.

Ready to Roll Fast: Pre-Greased Idler Hubs with Bearings and Seals

No need to pack bearings or mess with extra parts—the cast iron idler hubs come pre-greased and assembled with bearings, races, seals, and lug nuts already in place. Each hub uses matching L44649 bearings and L44610 races with a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, ready for 13" to 15" wheels. The built-in grease zerk makes it simple to maintain with a grease gun so your hubs stay smooth and cool mile after mile.

Low, Easy Loading: Underslung Design for Leaf Spring Suspension

The axle’s underslung setup has the spring seats welded to the underside of the 1-3/4" diameter beam so your trailer rides lower. That means easier loading and unloading and a solid, stable stance. The welded spindles and spring seats come pre-aligned, so you can bolt up your leaf springs (sold separately) without extra fabrication.

Durable and Safe: High-Strength Steel with Certified Hardware

Made from high-strength steel and welded using a patented process that produces 40% stronger joints, this axle is built to last. It’s CSA, QAI, and SAE-N certified for tested safety and reliability. The 6-1/4" hub diameter and 1.988" grease cap flange diameter match standard parts for easy maintenance while keeping the system tight and secure under load.

Simple, Reliable Setup: Standard Hardware for Straightforward Builds

With its 1/2"-diameter wheel studs, 1-5/16" stud length, and standard 10-9 grease seal (1.50" inner diameter, 1.987" outer diameter), this axle fits common hardware so everything bolts together cleanly. Whether you’re replacing an old beam or starting a new build, the dimensions and fit are dialed in for dependable performance and easy upkeep.

This axle is holding up well. It is on a trailer used for golf course maintenance.

Great product , and very good replacement and upgrade form my old one.



by:

Just what I was looking for. Speedy shi pping



by:

Exactly what I ordered and two days earlier than originally stated.



by:

Solid axle and hubs. Got my trailer back on the road with an easy swap. Thanks



by:

Arrived today, looks good except for one of the grease zerks is damaged from shipping. Bearings are Chinese but I plan to upgrade them in a year or two.



by:

Easy to work with company. Very helpful in helping me to select the correct axle. The videos installation were helpful. I have been traveling around the country with the new actual on my small mini camper and it's worked out great.



by:

Great finish, quick shipping , works we ll.



by:

Fantastic service and support.



by:

I was a little disappointed that the picture showed the axle assembled, when it arrived it came in two parcels. I can assemble and pack the bearings no problem. Should of said assembly is required for use.



by:

I'm currently installing it to replace a practically good Axle but the Spindle on the original Axle doesn't have Cotter Pins. A friend suggested I change the bearings since the wheel was wobbling but after I changed them, the wheel continued to come off. After watching U-Tube Videos, everyone of them had Cotter Pins, so I decided to be safe rather than sorry and replace the Axle with one of yours plus now ALL the bearings are NEW with New Hubs, WELL WORTH THE MONEY I SPENT.

Ive used the trailer sparingly but at least the wheel no longer wobbles or comes off on its own, still very satisfied with the Cotter Pin outfit

I replaced the axle and hubs from etrailer and I use the trailer frequently. Thank you



by:

Needed to beef up my little trailer project from a 4 lug to a 5 lug st up.These were perfect, and arrived quickly!



by:

Easy to install



by:

Axle came pretty quick and we'll packaged. Hubs came in separate boxes. Took out the old one and attempted to put in new one. The mount brackets on the new ones are a full inch apart farther than the original, therefore it doesn't fit. Not sure what to do.

I was forced to modify the axel and trailer mount to make it fit. Was a pain as I have limited tools, however trailer works just fine. Shouldnt have had to do it, but dont know where the problem lies.....axel or trailer?

@Anthony I'm guessing you are referring to the spring seats. It isn't uncommon for the spring center measurement to be different which requires cutting off the old spring seats and welding on new ones to match. Glad it worked out for you in the end!

Works great. Easy to purchase from Etra iler

Axle and hubs arrived on time and undamaged, hubs easy to install on axle and install on trailer, will definitely use etrailer again

My son converted the small trailer that this axle was used on from carrying a small quad to an overland camping trailer. Its been all over Texas and all the way up to Montana and back. No issues. Still highly recommended.



by:

Looks to be a well made product but I was disappointed to see it was not US made.. I went with this axel because it is far superior to any I could find for small farm trailer use.. The hubs I got and measured are roughly 2-1/2 inches or 63mm and I could not find this in the specs.. My rims will fit but won't be hub-centric so they will be centered and ride on the lug nuts alone.. I am cutting a foot out of the center of the axle then splicing it together to narrow it for my application so no warranty for me.. This axle and pair of hubs with real bearing should last a very long time on the farm hauling dirt, mulch, stones, firewood..

  • Availability Of Replacement Axle For 1,720 lb Harbor Freight Trailer
    Hello Michael, thanks for reaching out. We do carry replacement axles, so we may have something that will work for your Harbor Freight trailer. That said, there is no way for me to look up your trailer online to know the axle specs, so I will need some info from you. If you take a look at the axle tag, it should list the weight capacity, hub face (HF) length and spring center (SC) length. Get me that info and I am happy to look into it and see if we have anything to match. If not, you would...

  • Can etrailer 2,000 lb Axle be Flipped
    The etrailer axle part # e82GR can only be installed in an underslung orientation. Since the axle has a bow to it if you were to flip it the alignment would be way off. You'd have to weld spring seats on the opposite side of the axle with the part # TRSS175 to install the axle as an overslung setup.

    Thanks for the picture Rich. The BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles - 1-1/4" Diameter item # TRU44FR is exactly what you need if your hubs have item # L44649 inner and outer bearings. For a grease seal you'll want item # 34823. We don't sell axle tubes so you'd need to go through whoever is welding on your spindles to sort out what you need. We do sell entire axles with idler hubs that have a 5 x 4-1/2 lug pattern like the item # e82GR item # CES84XR or item # CE33201GA-HUB....

  • Recommended Trailer Axle for a 66" Long Axle
    Robert, it looks like the closest axle we have to that measurement is the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles # T20BTR-EZ-6048 which is 60" long and has a 2,200 lb capacity. I'd suggest remeasuring your axle following the instructions in the FAQ I've attached and verifying if your axle is actually 66" long.

    Hello Travis, I am running into the same issue as you. The closest thing we have to a 52" hub face, and 43" spring center is the CE Smith Trailer Axle Beam with Studded Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2" - 54" Long - 1.8K # CES84XR which is Hub-face-to-hub-face length: 49-1/2" overall 54", and Spring-center-to-spring-center length: 38-7/16".

  • Can A 2,000 lb Trailer Axle Be Flipped Upside Down To Mount Springs On Top Of Axle?
    Hey Bill, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you cannot run with your axle flipped upside down. The crown in the axle must be facing up. This bend is part of what gives the axle its strength, and flipping it will weaken the setup and make things unstable and highly unsafe. All of the axles we carry have the spring seats welded to the bottom of the tube. The only way for you to safely use this axle will be to have new spring seats # TRSS175 welded to the top of the axle tube.

  • Recommended Replacement Axle for a Camper Trailer
    Hey Brian, to go with a longer axle setup you can use the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # e65GR. This axle has a 5 bolt pattern, an 89" hub face measurement, but a 74" spring seat measurement. Since your spring seats are at 55" you'd need to cut off these ones and re-weld them at 55" to match your spring seats. What kind of trailer do you have? Also, If there is anything else you need help with, please feel free to let me know!

  • Should the e82GR Trailer Axle WIth Idler Hubs Have a Washer Between the Castle Nut and Bearing
    The reason yours does not have any washers is they are not part of the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # E82GR. In many instances there would be a tang washer or at least some kind of washer, but for this particular axle and idler hub the castle nut pushes directly onto the idler hub bearing.
