PIVOT AXLE

Pivot axles on a trailer allow each axle to move independently of each other and also the chassis.  This enables the wheels to roll over kerbs, speed humps and potholes rather than into them.

Pivot axles provide axle articulation which enables all four wheels to stay in contact with the road surface at all times. Axle articulation allows the trailer to connect to varying tow hitch heights on the towing vehicle, with the wheels staying in contact with the ground.

HOW DOES A PIVOT AXLE WORK?

Pivot axles on a trailer allow each axle to move independently of each other and also the chassis.  This enables the wheels to roll over kerbs, speed humps and potholes rather than into them. Pivot axles ensure that all four wheels always maintain contact with the road surface.

Because the pivot axle system connects to the main chassis via one central fulcrum point, it enables the load to be spread equally across both axles and all wheels, however, the load is placed on the bed of the trailer.  This reduces the risk of uneven tyre wear and reduces damage to wheel rims, axles and bearings caused by kerbs, speed bumps and other humps and lumps in the road.
