Heavy duty trailer axle for robust industrial transport
A heavy duty trailer axle is engineered to equip trailers that carry very large loads in industrial and logistics environments. With a maximum payload of 17 000 kg, this axle supports trailers used to transport bulky or heavy materials, machinery or equipment where load-bearing capacity and mechanical robustness are essential. Its design ensures that the trailer remains stable and secure even under significant static and dynamic loads, helping to maintain safe and efficient operations over long periods
Steering axle design for precise manoeuvring
Unlike fixed trailer axles, this product features a steering axle configuration that enhances manoeuvrability when guiding heavy duty trailers around industrial sites, loading docks or confined areas. The mechanical steering system delivers direct and predictable responses during turns and adjustments, which is particularly valuable when operating with heavy loads where precision and control are key to avoiding undue stress on the trailer and tractor combination.
Parking drum brake for secure immobilization
For heavy duty applications where trailers may need to be parked during loading or on uneven surfaces, the parking drum brake integrated into this axle provides dependable immobilization. Drum brakes are known for their rugged, low-maintenance design and ability to hold significant loads in place without slipping. This characteristic is crucial in industrial handling contexts where trailers are often stationed for extended periods during material exchanges or staging operations.
Engineered for intensive handling and operational durability
Heavy duty trailers undergo repeated hauling, positioning and load transfer cycles throughout their service life. An axle tailored for these demanding conditions must combine a high load capacity with structural simplicity and durability. This bespoke solution is developed to integrate seamlessly with trailer chassis designs, offering reliable performance with minimal maintenance downtime.
Paillard’s long experience in bespoke axle design — combining expert engineering with robust manufacturing — ensures that such axles can withstand the rigors of intensive handling and heavy-load applications.
