Round trailer axle beam measures 60" from hub-face-to-hub-face and 48" from spring-center-to-spring-center. Includes pre-greased idler hubs - with bearings, races, and seals - for 13" to 15" wheels.

Specs:
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 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.
etrailer axles 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.
This hub-and-drum assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This assembly has also been tested by QAI Laboratories for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.
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.
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.)
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.)
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.

Round trailer axle beam measures 60" from hub-face-to-hub-face and 48" from spring-center-to-spring-center. Includes pre-greased idler hubs - with bearings, races, and seals - for 13" to 15" wheels.Needed to beef up my little trailer project from a 4 lug to a 5 lug st up.These were perfect, and arrived quickly!
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.
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.
Seems well made and should work perfectly on my trailer.
Unwrapped, looks good not yet assembled
I had to return this product because it would no fit my trailer. My trailer was the issue, not the axle. From what I could see w/o out removing packaging, it looked like a good axle
Awesome customer service and fast deliv ery.
Review from a similar etrailer Axle Beam w Hubs in Trailer Axles
I purchased two of these axles to replace my old square ones. They appear to be good quality but they arrived damaged. The grease fittings on the ends were smashed because packaging wasn't adequate. I've emailed back and forth and was shipped the wrong parts for replacement. In the end I was told I'd have to cut the spindles off and replace them. All I need is new grease zerks that thread on the ends of the axles. Be prepared to purchase these on your own because customer service is subpar on a remedy and the way they package them for shipping does not prevent damage.

The axle is of great quality, I had to have mine fabricated a bit to match the old spring seats.but I wouldn't hesitate to buy the axle. The shipping and customer service is top notch from etrailer. Excellent products, services and shipping...
Review from a similar etrailer Axle Beam w Hubs in Trailer Axles
Just what I ordered, had to modify to fit my 1720lb Harbor Freight trailer as far as the spring seats. I knew that going in so no big deal. Great help and info from the order person.
Matched it up with bigger tires and etrailer finders!!!
Review from a similar etrailer Axle Beam w Hubs in Trailer Axles
The axle and hub/bearings were great, very good quality.
Just fyi, regarding the u-bolt kit, 2 of the 4 u-bolts supplied were 3/8 UNC thread and the other 2 were UNF--- but all the nuts were UNF --- fortunately I had some spare UNC nuts on hand. Very pleased with the quality and speedy delivery.

Review from a similar etrailer Axle Beam w Hubs in Trailer Axles
I might have measured it wrong, but it still worked fine. I just didn't know where to measure from. My axle was broken, and couldn't get measured good.
Review from a similar etrailer Axle Beam w Hubs in Trailer Axles
Good: Excellent service by Lori B. Full order arrived quickly.
Acceptable: Light surface rust on the axle mount. Nothing major. Otherwise five stars.
Would recommend to others.
Review from a similar etrailer Axle Beam w Hubs in Trailer Axles
Would give it a 5 except one of the grease fittings was damaged in shipping. The axle should be shipped without the grease fittings attached. Shippers stand the axle on end, crushing the fittings on the end.
