Burquip Braked Axle Rubbaride Stub 3,500kg

The Burquip Braked Axle Rubbaride Stub (3,500kg) is a heavy-duty, independent rubber-torsion suspension stub axle engineered for custom trailer chassis, low-bed transporters, commercial trailers, and heavy caravans. Incorporating internal progressive rubber suspension cords, integrated 250 × 50 mm foundation drum brakes, and a commercial 6-stud hub pattern, this stub axle delivers smooth, independent wheel dampening and dependable braking performance.

Description

Engineered for specialized trailer configurations where a continuous through-beam axle is impractical, the Burquip Rubbaride Stub Axle provides high-capacity independent suspension. By utilizing internal rubber-in-torsion elements, each stub axle operates independently, isolating road shocks, reducing chassis roll, and improving towing stability over rough terrain.

Supplied with a factory-fitted 250 × 50 mm mechanical drum brake assembly, this 3,500kg (pair capacity) stub axle provides effective friction control and smooth deceleration. Its compact 873.50mm length and robust mounting profile make it an ideal choice for machinery trailers, plant equipment carriers, horseboxes, and heavy off-road utility trailers requiring independent suspension geometry.

• Independent Rubber Torsion Suspension: Features internal heavy-duty rubber cords that dampen vibration and impact loads independently at each wheel, eliminating the need for leaf springs, shock absorbers, or spring hangers.
• Integrated Heavy-Duty Drum Brakes: Equipped with high-performance 250 × 50 mm foundation drum brakes engineered for controlled, reliable deceleration under heavy dynamic loads.
• Heavy Commercial 6-Stud Pattern: Standard 6/160.8/205 stud mounting configuration compatible with a broad range of heavy commercial trailer wheels and tires.
• Low Maintenance Design: Fully sealed torsion mechanism minimizes moving parts, reducing wear points, routine greasing, and maintenance requirements.
