Trailer Axle Hanger Kits

Explore Our Types of Hanger Kits for Trailers

Our range of trailer hanger kits are designed for capacities from 2,000 to 7,000 pounds. Choose from options tailored for both slipper and double eye springs, ensuring compatibility with various trailer types. Each kit includes high-quality components for a reliable suspension setup.

Some hanger kit variations include:

• Single axle kits: Designed for trailers with one axle. They use a simpler setup with front and rear hangers.
• Tandem axle kits: Support two axles and include additional components like center hangers and equalizers to distribute weight evenly between both axles, providing better stability and load capacity.
• Standard spring kits: Use hangers at both ends with shackle straps for flexibility.
• Slipper spring kits: Allow one end of the spring to slide in a bracket instead of being bolted. This facilitates smoother movement over rough terrain and requires different hanger heights for proper alignment.

Signs Your Trailer Needs a Suspension Upgrade

Like all mechanical fittings, hanger kits do eventually wear out, and knowing when to replace them is essential to maintaining road safety. Regular inspections of your hanger kit components will prevent unexpected failures and maintain safe operation. Proactive maintenance, such as lubricating and cleaning parts, increases the lifespan of components.

Pay special attention to mounting points, equalizers, and shackle straps, and always ensure that components are tightly fitted.

Some signs that it is time to replace your trailer’s hanger kit include:

• Corrosion
• Cracked welds
• Unusual noises while traveling
• Sagging springs
• Misaligned components

How to Choose the Right Axle Hanger Kit

Trailer hanger kit weight capacity variations range from 2,000 to 7,000 pounds, with heavier-duty kits featuring larger components and more robust materials. Choose the right size kit based on your trailer’s total weight, usual cargo type and usage. When it comes to hanger kits, bigger isn’t always better — select kits based on your actual needs rather than fitting a high-capacity kit unnecessarily.

Different trailers need different kits, and the kits need to match the trailer design and intended use. While boat trailers often use slipper spring kits, cargo trailers typically use double eye springs. In addition to weight capacity, consider environmental conditions such as terrain, climate, distance traveled and frequency of use when selecting axle hanger kits.
