Timbren Axle-Less System That Has A 2,000-LBS Capacity And A 4 On 4 Bolt Pattern

Question

Question:

Is the 2000 lb axle available with 4 bolt hubs? It is my intention to use 4 bolt hubs so I can utilize adapters to use the same spare tires as my UTV. Also, what load would be considered appropriate for the 1200 lb axle set? My intended gross weight of the finished trailer is about 600-800 lbs. Thank you for assistance.

I believe what you're looking for is the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with Hubs # A20RS440.

This system features a 4 on 4 bolt pattern, and has a maximum weight capacity of 2,000-lbs.

As long as your load doesn't exceed the maximum capacity, you should be good to go. Since you mentioned your trailer fully loaded will be 6-800-lbs, you should have no issues.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
