INFO ABOUT TORSION AXLES
We lead the way, and others follow.
We prioritise quality and innovation so that our customers get the best product. All of our trailers now have Duratorque / Torsion axle suspension, so you won't have to worry about noisy or rusting springs anymore.
Which are better? Torsion Axles Vs Spring Axles?
Dependable: The torsion axle uses a seamless steel tube, rubber cords, solid torsion bar, and forged swing-arm, the axle components have higher strength.
Independent suspension & smooth ride: The torsion end unit withstands suspension travel and shock absorption, each wheel works independently from the other side.
Without metal impact & no-noise: Rubber cords connect the torsion bar and axle tube, so when the trailer is running, the inner rubber withstands the impact and recovers to the original position. Whereas leaf spring axles have U bolts connecting the axle to leaf springs which attach to the frame and generally hang loose under the trailers so it is metal to metal impact when your trailers is driving on our rough road conditions causing more wear and noise.
Maintenance: torsion axles don’t have to use leaf spring, U Bolts, and mounting plates. So there is much less maintenance and wear whereas leaf springs are continually rubbing and chafing causing wear and rust and more to go wrong with U Bolts and plates holding it all together which rust and deteriorate.

Quality that lasts.
Sealed for life wheel bearings paired with rubber torsion suspension, makes our trailers almost maintenance free with little to no wearing parts. That means less hassle with no bushes to replace and no more rusty springs.
All TEMARED trailers come with Knott Rubber Torsion Axles which are European manufactured and assembled to European ECE standards.
Rubber Torsion offers a smooth refined ride with a first-class towing experience and have increased rigidity with the axle bolted directly to the trailer frame. This gives a smooth and quiet ride which leads to a better towing experience. The benefits are endless.
