A heavy-duty, compact suspension solution designed for light-duty pull-behind motorcycle trailers, campers, and trike trailers.
This R&P Carriages 250 lb capacity torsion half axle is a high-quality replacement solution designed for light-duty trailer applications where smooth suspension and reliable hub performance are critical. Featuring a 45° down start angle for optimal ground clearance, this single-side unit is built for long-term durability in pull-behind configurations.
Compatibility: Designed for light-duty pull-behind applications requiring a 5 on 4.5" lug pattern.
Vehicle / System Fit: Ideal for motorcycle trailers, lightweight campers, and trike trailers.
Installation Notes: Verify your mounting plate dimensions (4"x4") and hole spacing (3") before ordering to ensure a direct fit.
Performance Insight: The torsion design eliminates the need for leaf springs, providing a much smoother ride for lightweight cargo and sensitive equipment.
Custom Availability: If this standard specification does not meet your needs, custom torsion axles are available for an additional cost.
Lead Time: Typical build time for custom configurations is approximately 3–4 weeks.
Non-Returnable: Please note that all custom-ordered axles are non-returnable; ensure all measurements are verified before finalizing a custom order.
