Sourcing

Tandem Axle Suspension

  • Check.pngNot leaf spring but rubber. 10k lb [1]. These go up to only 14k.

Axle or Kit

HintLightbulb.png Hint: 3 axle x 7k is most cost effective, but this runs into the issue of difficult turning - rubber rips on short radius

  • 21k triple axis with wheels and brakes $3600 [2]
    • Note that 7k axles are $700, while 16k axles are $3700 - why the huge jump?
  • Double axle kit is disproportionately expensive compared to triple. 20k lb double axle kit - $8.4k [3]
  • 7k - $700 [4]. Check.png 7k with wheels $1100, includes electric brakes. [5]
    • Note that the 3500 lb version of this is disproportionately expensive at 80% the price at 1/2 the spec, at $850 [6]
    • $500 for 3.5k with wheels ,no brakes [7]
    • Note that 10k axles are likewise disproportionately expensive in kit form, but just axle is close to 7k [8]
  • 15k - electric - $3200 [9].
  • 15k - $2500 [10]
  • 28k lb axle kit - dual tandem - [11]
  • Base cost of $750 for 7k axle - no wheels or mount kit
  • $3k for 14k trailer axle set. Electric brakes. [12]
  • $1354 for 7k with brakes [13]
