Hi all,i am building an off road camper and am now sourcing the axle.can anyone tell me the load cap of the axle as follows.45mm square,six stud cruiser hubs,ten inch electric brakes,ford bearings,31"x10-5" wheels on sunraysia type rims.aside to that i am running 7leaf 8mm tapering to6mm 1050mm eye to eye x 65mm wide springs.I am waiting on a quote for parallell bearings but would like some info to digest re suitability for my trailers o/all weight which should go about 750kg loaded.cheers danny

Hey Danny.
Ordinarily, a Slimline axle (45mm sq., Falcon bearings) is rated to 1400Kg with passenger car wheels and tyres, However, the extra unsprung weight of an Off-Road wheel and tyre will drop its rated capacity to 1300Kg. Similarly, a 50mm sq. Parallel axle is rated to 1600Kg on passenger car tyres, and 1500Kg Off-Road. The Parallel axle will jump a fair price as it runs a special brake drum, and for your application (750Kg), probably not required.Too many projects, so little time, even less money!Are you a registered member?
