Square trailer axle beam measures 57-1/2" from hub face to hub face (when hubs - sold separately - are mounted) and 46-1/2" from spring center to spring center. Corrosion-resistant galvanized steel is great for a boat or snowmobile trailer.

Galvanized Steel
Galvanized steel parts are great for marine use because they are hot-dipped in zinc after being stamped. This creates a coating that is typically 3 mil to 5 mil thick. This thick, all-around coating allows galvanized steel products to provide years of use without rusting or corroding, making them a good choice for boat and snowmobile trailers.
There are multiple ways to measure the length of an axle beam, but the hub-face-to-hub-face and spring-center-to-spring-center lengths are the most accurate. Hub face (A) refers to the length of the axle measured from the base of one wheel stud to the base of the wheel stud on the opposite side of the axle (when hubs are mounted on the beam).
The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring centering hole on one side of the axle to the spring centering hole on the other.

Axle is well made, but when I got it installed on the trailer, the bearings would not fit on the axle. Bearing was 44649. I had to remove the axle and have .002” removed for the bearings to fit.
I called and asked about this and I could have waited for another axle but I didn’t have the luxury of time.
Other than that, I am sure the product will be fine!
I bought a replacement axle and idler hubs for my utility trailer. Overloading with heavy firewood finally took its toll! Everything from etrailer.com showed up by UPS Ground right on schedule and the parts went together very nicely. The hub bearings are factory-lubricated, saving that critical step. I tested it out yesterday and the trailer runs fine. I would have to rate the products and purchasing experience as excellent (5 stars).
This axle worked great on my trailer everything thing fit great
Ordered new axel and hubs to replace my bent axel on older utility trailer. Instructions for ordering the correct parts was clear and easy. It was shipped the same day as ordered. Arrived in record time in great condition. Good quality. Perfect fit.

Holding up well.
Great replacement axle for your little utility trailer - if it has 46-1/2" spring centers. Mine did and it fit perfectly. Be aware that this axle requires an inner grease seal with a 1.50" ID, NOT the 1.25 that comes with most replacement hubs for this size axle. I had to buy a set of 1.50" seals to swap out with the ones that came with my new hubs.
I ordered a number of items to replace my axle on my 4x8 trailer. Since "etrailer" is the experts I wish they would have thought of everything I needed to accomplish that and make recommendations. After placing my first order I realized I had not ordered the U bolt kit for the leaf springs and had to place another order. Once I received my initial order I found no grease was supplied for the hubs so I need to buy a tube of grease now. If the above items would have been mentioned during ordering I would have ordered and my trailer would be up and running for labor day but now it will not be ready in time as I wait for additional items to arrive.

Solid square tube axle beam, and I love the EZ-lube axle spindles. Installed in literally minutes with zero difficulties. I used this to replace the axle (and hubs) on a Haul-Master 1195 lb. 4' x 8' folding trailer (from that ubiquitous store that sells cheap tools - you know the one). I wanted a heavier duty axle with hubs that are standard sizes and could be repaired with readily available parts should I experience a breakdown on the road. The spring center to spring center distance of 46-1/2" is perfect for this application. I installed my new axle without a fuss in about 5 minutes. New hubs took another 5 minutes, and the setup was perfect on my first 300-mile trip hauling my enduro bike to the trailhead.
this product fit perfect on a 1973 dilly boat trailer a few things to consider, it has holes to line up with the nubs on your leaf springs these were taken out of mine because my old axle was fitted with bolts. So I ran a 3/8" bolt through the spring the head of that bolt measured 5/8" which is what the holes in the axle measure. my springs ran on top of the axle.
The axle installation was a success but I didn't realize I never did get my spindle nuts or cotter pins until I was done. I just used the ones from my old axle and only realized it until I came hear to leave my review.
Was a direct drop in replacement for a Harbor Freight trailer that I own. The existing axle was damaged due to a failed wheel hub, and I wanted to change to a standard SAE spindle size. Perfect part for the job. Zero complaints.
Ax!e 5 stars. Fast shipping 5 stars. Customer service 5 stars. Quality assurance 2 stars. Axle didn't show with spindle nuts, washers, or cotter pins. Customer service rectified the situation quickly, but it delayed me 3 days because they didn't ensure it was right the first time.
Axle for our boat trailer is holding up to normal wear after a year. Great product.

Axle for our boat trailer is holding up to normal wear after a year. Great product.
Axle installed very easily on to my Harbor Freight 1,200 lb trailer and installed without needing any extra brackets or mounting hardware. James and Michelle were very helpful throughout the course of the order.
a year later and I say it fits perfectly on my Harbor Freight 62648/62666 trailer and the tires do not stick out of the fenders
The axle bolted in as expected. I've used the trailer quite a bit and am very satisfied.

Another year has gone by. We used the trailer on some 200+ mile trips... works like a champ... no issues! Love it!
I have not assembled the trailer yet, but the quality of the parts
is good, delivery was quick and the price was great due to the
free shipping. So far my favorite place to buy trailer parts.
This axle was the closest in size that I could find - I moved each fender outboard an in to cover the tire properly
my husband was concerned at first because the axle he bought was square. Ours is round. I talked him into trying to make it work and it's great. The axle is for our 1960 pace boat trailer. Thank you so much.
Awesome service. Second time I have ordered from them and my orders both my orders arrived extremely fast and were exactly as advertised. I will continue to do all my trailer business with them.
Good price and quality. Pulled the trailer cross country with no issues
I don't even notice that I'm pulling a trailer.
Great customer service! Order arrived sooner than expected and fit perfectly!
the axle came with castle nuts and cotter pins, but no washers, the old hubs fit but the washers i have are too small

Super! Except for one little thing that had nothing to do with the replacement axle..I wrecked the trailer. But good news: the axle and hubs are fine and I am looking for a replacement trailer and will use these parts as replacements.
