Can Skid Wheel Set for Up to 30 Foot RVs be Welded On

Updated 05/04/2015 | Published 05/02/2015

Question:

Could the mounting plate be welded to the trailer frame instead of bolted? I have boxed in beams that I cant get to the upper side of. What is the dimension between the two holes for mounting the caster? ie. Straight across the plate caster bolt hole to caster bolt hole in your picture instead of the 1 3/4inch dimension. In other words what width beam could it be welded to and still have room to access the mounting bolts?

Yes, you can weld the mounting plates from skid wheel set # UF48-979011 to the frame. The side to side measurement of the bolt holes on center is approximately 2-3/4 inches (69mm to be exact which is 2.71 inches). The space between the holes is approximately 2.33 inches.
