AL-KO OPTIMA unbraked axle for trailer 750kg 1100mm 1530mm 4x100

AL-KO OPTIMA unbraked axle for trailer 750kg 1100mm 1530mm 4x100

The AL-KO unbraked axle is designed for lightweight trailers with a maximum load capacity of 750 kg . The mounting hole spacing is 1100 mm and the hub spacing is 1530 mm , allowing for easy installation on a wide range of vehicles. The standard 4x100 bolt pattern ensures compatibility with most wheels available on the market. The swing arm length is 145 mm , ensuring stability and optimal shock absorption, thus increasing driving safety, even when fully loaded.

Axles constitute the structural foundation of every trailer , ensuring its stability, durability, and adequate shock absorption during transport. They are a key element that allows for the safe transport of various loads . Choosing the right axles is crucial, as it influences safety, driving comfort, and the durability of the entire transport system. Proper shock absorption helps protect transported goods from damage, while the appropriate load capacity ensures stability during driving, especially in difficult conditions.

Trailer axles – versatility of applications

Trailer axles are distinguished by their versatility , making them suitable for various types of vehicles, such as cargo trailers, caravans, flatbed trailers, and livestock and equipment trailers. Their universal design allows for adaptation to a variety of transport conditions, regardless of the type of load being carried. These axles provide stability, safety, and ride comfort , making them a reliable solution for both everyday use and more specialized tasks. The ability to install additional components, such as shock absorbers, allows for further optimization of their performance, tailoring the trailer to individual needs.

Independent suspension and maintenance-free

Thanks to the independent suspension, each wheel is damped individually , meaning road irregularities only affect the side they are on. This system is maintenance-free and allows users to save on servicing and maintenance costs. Furthermore, the axle design eliminates the risk of damage to the wheel arch and other components caused by excessive swingarm rotation, even under heavy loads.

Driving comfort thanks to the advanced suspension system

Modern axles, such as those with the AL-KO hexagonal suspension system with rubber rollers, offer significantly improved ride comfort . Large deflection angles and softer damping make the trailer ride smoother and effectively reduce vibrations . Compared to standard steering axle systems, this suspension allows for more effective damping of road irregularities, increasing user comfort and safety.

Optimal protection against corrosion

The axle profile, frame, and overrun device housing are protected against corrosion by hot-dip galvanizing, guaranteeing 10 years of protection. Steel components requiring high precision are galvanized, providing 5 years of corrosion protection. For the most precise parts, electro-galvanizing is used, providing 4 years of protection. These various galvanizing methods effectively protect all components, ensuring long-term durability and resistance to external factors .

Maintenance-free bearings and easy assembly

The axles are equipped with double angular contact ball bearings (compact bearings) rated for 250,000 km of operation . They are lubricated for life with a special water-repellent grease, preventing contaminants from entering. Additional safety features, such as double hub seals, protect the mechanisms from water and dirt . Standardized torque makes axle assembly quick and easy.
