Weight Capacity of the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # A35RD545E

Question:

Is each individual assembly rated at 3500 lbs or is each assembly rated at 1750 lbs? I have a tandem axle trailer right now rated at 10,000 lbs and I want to make another similarly rated trailer.

Each of the two hub/suspension assemblies in the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # A35RD545E is rated for 1750-lbs, so together they offer capacity equal to a standard 3500-lb axle. This system can be used to configure a tandem-type trailer if two sets are used. It is not recommended to use three sets to mimic a triple axle suspension.

Timbren also offers two higher-rated 5200-lb-capacity systems, part # ASR5200S01 and part # ASR5200S04 with 4-inch drop spindles and brake flanges, but note both of these do not include hubs. All Timbren axle-less systems can be bolted on with Grade 5 hardware or welded to your trailer frame.
