trailer hub

With over 20 years of experience, we are a professional trailer hub manufacturer focusing on the US market—one of the core suppliers for medium-duty trailer segments in North America. Equipped with advanced CNC machining equipment and a dedicated R&D team, our products strictly adhere to ISO and US automotive quality standards (including FMVSS). Customization is our core strength: we provide both standard 5000-7000lb series products and one-stop tailored solutions, fully supporting customizations based on customer-provided drawings or parameters with R&D full-process docking.

Product Overview

As a core load-bearing component for trailers, our 7000lb (3175kg) idler hub is engineered exclusively for the US market. It features reliable heavy-load performance and smooth rotation, perfectly matching medium-duty cargo trailers, RVs, and agricultural trailers. Adhering to FMVSS standards (a mandatory requirement for US market access), it ensures safe operation in long-haul and rugged working conditions. Customizable options cover load capacity (5000-7000lb), size specifications, and surface treatment for special environments.

  1. Manufacturing & Quality Assurance
  2. Manufacturing Processes
  • Material: Ductile iron casting + heat treatment.
  • Machining: CNC (±0.02mm) fits US axles.
  • Surface: Galvanization + powder coating (anti-rust).
  • Assembly: “Clean-Fit-Tighten-Inspect” + torque check.
  1. Quality Inspection
  • Load Test: 24h 1.2x load (no deformation = pass).
  • Dynamic Balance: Runout < 0.2mm (low vibration).
  • Sealing Test: 50PSI air test (anti-leakage).
  • Material Test: Spectral analysis (meets ASTM A536).

III. Application Scenarios & Installation Maintenance

Application Scenarios:

  • Cargo Trailers: Dry van/flatbed, stable long-haul.
  • RV/Agricultural: Heavy load, rugged use.

Installation & Maintenance:

  • Installation: Clean axle; 2/3 lithium grease; torque 120-150 ft-lbs; seal.
  • Maintenance: Inspect 4m/8k miles; grease semi-annually (quarterly harsh env).
  • Abnormality: Replace damaged seals; stop on noise/overheating.
  1. Product Advantages
  2. Core Advantages
  • Market Compliance: Fully meets FMVSS and FMCSR requirements, directly accessible to US mainstream trailer brands.
  • Structural Reliability: Double-row tapered roller bearings + ASTM A536 ductile iron construction, reducing maintenance frequency by 30% vs. industry average.
  • Environmental Adaptability: Dual-layer hot-dip galvanization + powder coating, suitable for North American coastal humidity and northern low-temperature environments.
  • Durability: 20% longer service life than industry peers, verified by 240-hour fatigue testing.
  • Customization Capability: One-stop service from drawing review to sample testing, supporting 7-day rapid sampling for urgent orders.
