Complete or spare-part agricultural trailer axles

On an agricultural trailer, the axle is replaced either as a complete unit, including spindles, hubs, and sometimes brakes installed, or as spare parts when only one component is damaged. TMC Bejenne, a specialist in dismantling agricultural machinery since 1945, regularly releases trailer axles and associated spare parts, including brake linings, as dismantled batches become available. Exact availability of a reference, by brand, tonnage, or manufacturer, is always confirmed by phone at 05 86 24 00 26.

Tandem or bogie agricultural axle: how to choose?

• Tandem axle: two fixed axles mounted in line under the chassis, the most common, easy to maintain
• Bogie axle: two axles supported by a pivoting beam that automatically distributes the load, better suited for uneven terrain and field ruts
• The bogie better absorbs uneven ground thanks to the beam’s movement, while the tandem remains simpler and generally less costly to repair
• The choice mainly depends on the terrain, the carried tonnage, and the trailer type, whether flatbed forage, tipper, or slurry tank

Agricultural trailer axle by tonnage: 4, 5, and 10 tons

• 4-ton agricultural trailer axle, often semi-axle or single axle on small trailers
• 5-ton agricultural trailer axle, common size on standard agricultural tippers
• 10-ton agricultural trailer axle, generally tandem or bogie configuration on heavy-duty trailers
• Trailer tonnage and load per axle should always be verified before replacement to stay within chassis limits

Semi-axle for agriculture

The semi-axle corresponds to a single axle, non-through type, mounted on only one side of the trailer. It equips small single-axle agricultural trailers or complements an existing set when only one side needs replacement. Its compatibility depends on the spacing, spindle diameter, and fixation type, to be checked before ordering.

Balance, follower, and steering axles

• Balance axle: central part of a bogie assembly, it pivots to distribute load between the two axles on uneven ground
• Follower axle: additional non-driven axle that rolls aligned with the trailer, without steering the wheels
• Steering axle: axle that pivots to follow the tractor's trajectory, reducing tire scrubbing and facilitating maneuvers on multi-axle trailers
• These setups are mainly found on heavy or long agricultural trailers

100 square agricultural axle

This term refers to an axle with a central body featuring a 100 mm square section, one of the standard market sizes alongside 50, 60, or 80 mm squares. This dimension determines compatibility with chassis fixation and suspension and must be verified before ordering used parts.

Colaert and other agricultural trailer axle manufacturers

Colaert, a specialist manufacturer within the ADR group, is among the most sought-after references for agricultural trailer axles, alongside other brands like Bourgogne or BPW. TMC Bejenne does not produce new axles but can offer, depending on available dismantled stock, axles or spare parts compatible with these brands. Contact the team at 05 86 24 00 26 with your reference or required dimensions to check stock.

How to tell if a tractor or trailer axle is damaged?

A worn axle is indicated by excessive play in the wheel, increased bearing noise under load, leaks from the housing, or uneven tire wear caused by alignment issues. On tandem or bogie trailers, a seized balance beam or follower axle that no longer pivots causes premature tire wear from scrubbing. These symptoms differ from tractor power loss, which is usually related to fuel supply or filtration issues: TMC Bejenne provides a detailed diagnosis in its guide on tractors losing power.

Front axle or rear axle: key differences

The front axle, often steering on four-wheel-drive tractors, absorbs steering forces in addition to its load, with tighter tolerances than the rear axle. It differs from the front drive, which refers to the entire associated transmission; the axle is the mechanical part supporting the wheel. The rear axle, linked to the rear drive, handles most of the traction and lifting loads. The two are not interchangeable, even on the same machine.

How to identify the correct axle reference

• Note the exact model and serial number of the machine, or precise measurements on a trailer
• Specify position: front or rear on tractor, tandem or bogie on trailer
• Indicate if the axle should be delivered complete, with hub and brake mounted, or as a single part
• Check the spacing and the diameter of the related wheel
• Contact TMC Bejenne with these details to verify exact compatibility
