Axle Dimensions

Hub Face and Spring Center Measurements on Standard Trailer Axle

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.


The spring center (B) is the approximate width of your trailer. It is measured from the center of the spring seat on one side of the axle to the center of the seat on the other. This axle beam comes with the spring seats welded on.


If you are replacing your trailer's axle, you should be able to figure out which type you need by determining your trailer's capacity, the bolt pattern of your wheels, the brake type and the aforementioned lengths.


Dexters

Dexters are made of high-strength steel and come with spindles and spring seats welded on. The spring seats are attached to the underside of the axle so that the leaf springs (sold separately) can mount beneath the axle. The result of this underslung design is a trailer that rides a bit lower for quick and easy loading and unloading.


Each axle is manufactured to create a certain camber angle. This ensures that the angle of the wheels is correct for your towing needs. Because the primary concern when towing is maintaining controlled, in-line movement, each axle is made so that your trailer's tires will run along the pavement evenly, with contact across the width of the tread. The result is excellent straight-line acceleration for steady, in-line tracking. You might notice the bend near the center of the axle; this is what ensures the proper camber angle. Having the center ride a bit higher and the sides of the axle bent lower allows the axle to give just enough to compensate for the load.


Determining the Bolt Pattern

The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.

Bolt Pattern - Even

On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: 8 on 6-1/2 means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)

Bolt Pattern - Odd

To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: 5 on 4-1/2 means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)

Bolt Pattern - Side

Measuring the distance (D) from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

  • If D = 2-5/8", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-1/2"
  • If D = 2-3/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 4-3/4"
  • If D = 3", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5"
  • If D = 3-1/4", then the bolt pattern is 5 on 5-1/2"

  • Availability of Metric ATV Hub Assembly With 4/110 Millimeter Lug Pattern
    Your best option for constructing a trailer may be to go for a complete axle kit that includes the axle beam, spindles, hubs with bearings, and seals etc. We offer kits and separate components in various bolt patterns. To help you identify your preferred bolt pattern I have linked an article at right. We also offer trailer wheels with pre-mounted tires to fit the axle kits we offer; a link is included for these as well. Bear in mind that the tires on your ATV may not be rated high enough...

  • Spare Parts for Harbor Freight HaulMaster Utility Trailer 90154
    We often hear of weak customer support and limited spare parts availability with "bargain" trailer manufacturers. I found an online copy of the owner's manual for the Harbor Freight Haulmaster utility trailer model 90154 but it includes no information at all about the bearing or seal part numbers it uses. Often these foreign-made trailers use odd bearings that are not commonly available. If you can, pull a hub and find the part numbers on your bearings and seal. Please refer to the linked...

  • Replacement Axle Tube for a Habor Freight Model 90154 Trailer
    In order to determine if we have a new axle beam that will work for you, we would first need to do some measuring. The measurements that will need to be taken are from the center of each spring seat on the axle you have now as well as the distance between the two hub faces. I have attached a photo of this for you as well. The most important measurement that you need to verify is the hub face as the spring seats can be moved. For example, if you have a hub face of 60" you can then use...

  • Trailer Axle Rated for at Least 1,500lbs and 48 from Spring Seat Center to Spring Seat Center
    We have a couple of axles that may work for you, # 20440I-ST-60 or # 20440I-EZ-60. These axles are 60 inches long, hub face to hub face, and 48 inches spring center to spring center. You will want to double check the spring seat measurement and if it is actually closer to 48 inches then either of these axles will work. Otherwise the spring seats would have to be removed and welded back on at the proper spacing by a qualified professional welder. Both axles come with idler hubs with a 4...

    The parts and quantities do look mostly good, but you would only need one of the hanger kits # APS2. These are actually sold as a full kit for one axle. As to said axle, though, it would be a good idea to double check that your spring seats match the ones that come pre-welded to the # 20440I-EZ-60. These will measure 48 inches from center to center and yours should be as close as possible to this measurement. Though the # APS2 will need to be welded on, the bolts that come with it will...

  • Recommendation for Replacement Hub With 30205 Bearings
    The bearing you have is actually a 30205 bearing which has an inner diameter of 0.985 inches. From what I could find, this is a common bearing used on the Harbor Freight trailers. With that being said, we do not have a replacement for this, unfortunately. This is something you would need to go through Harbor Freight for a direct replacement. However, the better option will be to actually replace the axle. This will get you set up with something that is much more common. Something like...

    Harbor Freight trailers are normally not able to work well with other axles because they are not made to industry specs.

  • Can Slightly Shorter Double-Eye Trailer Leaf Springs Be Used in Place of Slipper Springs
    Spring # e84SR being slightly off from the existing hanger spacing you have now would require welding on new hangers on a single axle trailer. The end of the spring that uses the shackle strap and is not secured to the hanger alone should be slightly beyond the center of the hanger like in the picture I have included. There are fundamental differences between slipper spring hangers and double-eye spring hangers though and you may need to replace the hangers you have. New ones should be...

  • Can a Different Axle be Installed on a Harbor Freight Trailer Frame that is 48 Inches Wide
    Yes, you could use axle # 20440I-EZ-60 for your trailer project! The width of your trailer is the same as the spring seat center to center measurement on the axle (48 inches). The hubs on this axle will accommodate up to 12 inch wheels with a 4 on 4 bolt pattern. I have included a link to a video review of the axle for you.

  • Can a 2,000 Pound Trailer Axle be Fitted with Electric Brakes and 10 or 12 Inch Wheels
    You would need to step up to a 3500 pound set up to get an axle that comes with brake mounting flanges. You could have brake mounting flanges welded to a 2K axle if you wanted but it is a precision job that requires the proper equipment and someone who has performed this job before. So for example you could use axle # T20BTR-6048 with hub and drum assembly # 8-257-5UC3. then you would need brake mounting flange # 4-34 and brake assemblies # 23-47 and # 23-48.

  • Does The Dexter Trailer Idler Axle 20440I-EZ-60 Come With Pre Grease Hubs
    Hello Vic. The Idler Hubs that come with the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle # 20440I-EZ-60 do not come pre packed and greased. A tube of bearing grease is included, but the bearings will need to be greased and packed prior to installation. A bearing packer like the Powerbuilt Deluxe Bearing Packer # ALL647646 will make this job much easier.

  • Can Shorter Axle be Used to Replace 63-1/2 Inch Axle
    The 72 inch Dexter Trailer Axle # 20440I-EZ-72 would be the better option here. Going with a shorter axle than what you have, like the 60 inch # 20440I-EZ-60, isn't ideal as shortening the base of the trailer could throw off capacities or even the balance of the trailer. The best option is really to get an axle fabricated to your specific needs, but between these two axles the better choice is the 72 inch Dexter Trailer Axle # 20440I-EZ-72.
