Usage
- Highway Travel
- Heavy Duty Loads
Installation
Torsion Trailer Axles are welded or bolted directly to the frame of your trailer. This provides added support and stability for travel, ideal for excessive highway miles.
Maintenance and Repair:
Maintenance in regards to Torsion Trailer Axles involves regularly inspecting the arms ensuring they still remain at their original degree and that the axle beam and mounting hardware are free from rust and damage. Repair typically requires replacing the entire axle assembly if the rubber torsion elements fail, as they are integrated and not serviceable individually.
Construction:
Torsion trailer axles are built with a rectangular beam that houses rubber cords, which provide suspension by compressing and twisting within the axle tube. The wheel spindles are attached to the ends of this beam, allowing for independent wheel movement and smoother ride quality. If you are switching from a Spring Axle to a Torsion Axle there are extra measurements that our team can assist you with at info@BlueSwiftAxles.com.

The guys at BlueSwift were incredible to deal with! Great products, service & pricing. My trailer techs were so impressed with the 2 axles I had ordered they requested contact info for BlueSwift to order themselves. Thanks again for the awesome service & quality axles!!!

Steven Lewis (verified owner) –
I needed axles for a very specific suspension setup (Kelderman Manufacturing air/torsion system), which need no standard torsion axle mounting brackets. The other brands took weeks of fighting to get their engineers to understand what I was doing, after a single phone call and email with Daylon, they gladly built my axles and shipped them out in a week. Three times as fast as anyone else quoted me, And They built the axles exactly as I needed!
Great people to work with!
