Can Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Be Used On Equipment Trailers

Question

Question:

Are equipment trailers starting to use these spindles? I havent seen them on a 14k or 21k trailer yet.

Expert Reply:

Your typical equipment trailer will likely have a standard axle since trailer manufacturers tend to go with the cheapest option when building a trailer. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Drop Spindle w/ Brake Flange - Regular Tires - 7K # TASR7KS02 can definitely be used on an equipment trailer and is a good option when replacing axles.

The Timbren fits any trailer width and also replaces the suspension. 7,000 lbs is the highest capacity so you would only see this on a tandem setup with a 14k capacity since it is not designed to work on a triple axle setup.

If you are changing from a 15 inch to a 16 inch tire and wheel you will add more height to the trailer. With the size tire you currently have on your trailer the diameter is approximately 28.87 inches tall. To go with a tire like part #AM35010 which…
