Trailer Bearings

Trailer Bearings, encompassing deep groove ball bearings, taper roller bearings, and double row angular contact bearings, are meticulously engineered for superior load management and durability. These bearings are built based on varied dimensions to meet the unique load and size demands of trailers.

What are Trailer Bearings?

Trailer Bearings are specifically designed to ensure the smooth operation of trailer wheels. They are special bearings, encompassing various types, that cater to the critical application of load management in trailers:

  • Deep Groove Ball Bearings: Known for their versatility, these bearings can support radial and axial loads from both directions. They have excellent high-speed capabilities and require minimal maintenance, making them a trusted component in many trailer wheel applications.
  • Taper Roller Bearings: Renowned for the ability to handle combined (axial and radial) loads, these bearings are ideal for applications experiencing heavy load conditions. They offer robust operation, even under the stressful conditions found in trailer wheel systems.
  • Double Row Angular Contact Bearings: These bearings specifically cater to applications requiring high accuracy and high load-carrying capacity. Their double row design allows them to handle higher loads or moments about the bearing axis.

Whichever type you opt for, our Trailer Bearings ensure superior load endurance and smooth wheel operation that stretches the lifespan and enhances the performance reliability of your trailers.

What are trailer bearings and what purpose do they serve?

Trailer bearings are crucial components in the wheel assembly of a trailer. They help the wheels spin smoothly and freely, reducing friction and handling the load that the trailer carries, making your trailer ride smoother and safer.

How can I tell if I need to replace my trailer bearings?

If you notice a humming or grinding noise coming from your trailer's wheels, or if your trailer appears to be 'wobbling', these could be signs of bearing wear. In addition, if your wheels show indications of overheating, such as discolored or smoking hubs, it might be time to check your bearings.

What happens if I do not replace worn trailer bearings?

Neglecting worn trailer bearings can be dangerous and may lead to wheel failure while in use. This can cause severe accidents or damage to your trailer. Regular maintenance and prompt replacement of worn bearings are essential for your safety and the longevity of your trailer.

Can I replace trailer bearings on my own or should I go to a professional?

With the right tools and some mechanical know-how, you could replace trailer bearings yourself. However, it's a task that requires precision, and errors could result in serious problems. If you're unsure, it's best to let a professional handle it to ensure proper installation and safety.
