Video Transcript for Review of etrailer by AxleTek Trailer Axles - Leaf Spring Suspension - e38GR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a quick look at this Trailer Axle with the EZ Grease Spindles. This is gonna be a great option for those of you who are needing to replace an axle on your trailer, or if you're building your own trailer, you're wanting to have a nice custom suspension system. This is gonna be a great option for you. Now, obviously an axle is a super important component in your suspension system. So you wanna make sure that you're getting the right one for your trailer.

So that's gonna include a couple of different standards or capabilities. This is a 2 and 3/8 inch diameter round steel beam that is gonna have a max weight capacity of 3,500 pounds. If it's used as a single axle, if you have 2 axles, obviously it's gonna double that weight capacity. So that's the first thing to make sure that that's gonna work for your trailer's weight capacity. If you have a 3,500 pound weight capacity for your trailer or a 7,000 pound weight capacity for a double axle, this will do a good job.

And then the other component is gonna be the length to make sure that it's gonna fit your trailer's width. So this is gonna have a, there's 2 different ways that we measure the length of the axle. The first is gonna be from the spring seats here. So these are welded in place on the axle. So they are going to be a nice, consistent place of measurement for us.

So from the center of 1 spring seat to the center of the other, it's gonna be right at 74 inches. The other way that we measure these is gonna be from the hub face. So obviously there's not a hub face here right now. And that's why that spring seat is so important because it's consistent measurement. But if we we're to have a hub face in place, the measurement from the outside flat edge of the hub face to the other outside flat edge of the hub face it's gonna be 89 inches.

This does have a little bit of a bend here in the center, you can see that, it's going to be our camber. So that as our trailer is under load, it's going to allow our wheels to ride evenly, making sure we have great traction, that the wear isn't gonna be uneven on our tire. So it's gonna be great for your straight line pulling, to have that camber built in. Our spindles are a straight spindle. So they're not, there's not gonna be any drop to them at all. They are welded in place using a patented welding process that slides over the axle. So that is going to give you a much stronger connections, about 40% stronger than the kind that just kind of butt up to the axle, get welded in place. So not only is that gonna be stronger, helping to prevent spindle failure, but it's also going to ensure proper alignment. So everything's gonna work properly for you. And of course we do have our built-in grease zerk here. So it's gonna be very easy to just pump in some grease. And that's gonna fill that cavity, making sure that everything is gonna be well lubricated in between our regular maintenance. This does have the cap that will pop out with the plug there. Just use a flat head screwdriver to pop that plug out that will give you access to that grease zerk, so that all you have to do is pop that plug out and pump some grease in there in between your regular maintenance. And it'll allow everything to stay nice and well greased. We do have the brake flange here. That's going to allow us to add our brakes in the future. It's a standard 4-hole brake flange. We also have a pre-wired wiring, 2 wire system that runs from one side of the axle to the other. So if we're running out electric brakes and that's one less wire that we have to run, so it's gonna be pretty easy to get that installed. Our spring seats that I mentioned before, these are welded to the bottom of the axle. So it's going to allow us to install our leaf springs in an underslung orientation. That's gonna create a nice low ride height to make it easier to load and unload our trailer. This does meet the CSA, QAI and SAE-N certified standards. So you can trust it's gonna hold up well, gonna meet those high quality standards. It's gonna do a good job for you. So as long as the length and the weight capacity work for you. I think you'll be very happy with this. If you are looking for a different length or weight capacity, like I said, we do have lots of options available here at etrailer.com.
