Would something like this work if i wanted to deburr much more of the rod, something like 50mm?

Found the answer i was looking -how figure the weight of stuff i load into my cargo trailer especially tools of iron. - thanks

Leaf spring axles do the same thing. No matter the system you choose, they only have so much travel.

Is there any fuse in box next to batery?

You could also put a rod or drill in the chuck to keep it centered.

What situations would this be more suitable for over just getting a pre-threaded pipe?

Shortening the tongue is super easy; why haven't you? Just unbolt the coupler, cut the tongue to length, drill new holes and insert bolts.

I don’t think those axles are designed to take off camber torsion like they will.

Brilliant.Subscribed

I would think that to free both hands you could hang/tie a weight of some sort to the drill press handle to hold pressure on the die. The amount of weight, of course, would vary depending on the circumstance. Good video. Thank You...

Many thanks for posting this - very helpful for beginners like me :)

What happend to the opposite set of wheels if they are going over an opposite angle obstacle at the same time / wont it twist the whole frame ?

thanks for sharing! Now I need to take apart my 20 ton jack from harbor freight. This helps alot!

Wonderful, smart idea! Thanks a lot.

My breaks work with the truck controller but not when I pull the pin so weird

I pull my pin I have power coming from the blue wire should I connect it directly to the blue wire going to the brakes or connect it in the junction box to the blue wire

How often u change the battery?

Eu acho que nao precisa desse eixos se remover esse eixo ficaria melhor, por que se apenas um lado passar por um buraco ou um desnível, o eixo inteiro vai se mover e acaba que os dois lado irao se mover se remover os eixo eu acho q ficaria melhor..

This is a great way to check for balance between right and left sides of your trailer. Thanks for sharing.

It would be interesting to see how the calculations compare to a weight scale.

It’s a poor design…you want to load each torsion independently for the benefit of a dual axle torsion setup. This might be better if you in the habit of jump curbs…maybe Load it, and this design is not as good as a standard setup, cost more, and much more prone to failure and suspension wear.

Hex dies are not made for cutting new threads. Only for repair for damage threads. That's why it took a lot to cut those threads and you probably payed 5.00 for that die. A round die that is HSS will cut smooth threads and is about five times the price as a hex die and will cut much easier.

Cool design but all the weight is on the center bolt of the walking beam not a good design for a car hauler

very cool thank you

Thank you, this is exactly what I needed to see to check something. I really appreciate you getting right into it and showing us without 10 minutes of preview like other channels. Lol

Dear _SE,_ That's a scary video. I can't imagine the weight put on that single tire. But even if the front and middle tires followed the rear tire down to the pavement (no gap between any tire and the road), how could we tell if there is actually any decent weight distribution between all three tires? In this instance, the rear tire could still be taking all the load, with only springs and gravity forcing the front and middle tires to (barely) touch the pavement? In other words, whether the front and middle tires touch the road or not, how would we know they are taking any of the trailer's weight?

Breakaway cable shorter or longer than the safety chains: which do you do and why?

No fenders? This would not be legal in Ontario

What can you do to fix this problem? I have a triple spread torsion axle trailer 30' floor 8' attic. The rear axle bounces seemingly no matter how I load it. It is tearing up my equipment. Any suggestions? Thank you

Thank you😅

There is a thid method for providing a given clamping force and that is an angular measurement. Have you ever encountered anyone who does that. It is attractive to me because it can be so small and durable.

Y para 3 ejes ??

I didn't catch if you mentioned this. How many tons is your press?

Good example of what happens but I wouldn't worry about it. This is just basic stuff the axle, tire and trailer manufacturers are aware of. The load ratings are rated for a continuous load in a variety of driving environments with rocks, bumps, pot holes, u-turns, ranges of temperature etc etc. These wheel off the ground scenarios only happen at slow speed in parking lots and driveways.

A great solution for the issue of one torsion axle bearing more weight than the other due to the trailer not being level.

Ya we have 16 trailers , triple axles with torsion. No problems at all with heavy loads going off road. The only trailers that make noise and I worry about ,have slipper suspension. This trailer in this video is poorly built junk and has nothing to do with the axles

You should not have included the tongue weight, which changes depending on how you load the trailer. You can use it to judge if you've balanced your load properly, but it does not contribute in any way to the trailer's total weight.

I agree with this, I have a tandem 12,000 boat trailer with torsion axles. I've had to replace all of the original 10 ply tires with 14 ply tires because they were all becoming deformed. But for a marine environment, I'll still take torsion axles over leaf springs. As for the bearings, the salt water kills my brakes every few years no matter how well I keep them rinsed off and sprayed down with fluid film. I usually throw new bearings in when I have to tear down the brakes.

Me parece q falta sistema de amortiguación porque cuando monta el cordón de la vereda la rueda trasera se levanta en el aire. Necesitaría una fuerza que empuje el neumático contra es suelo compensando el desnivel en forma negativa.

A trailer's tongue weight should be appr 10-15% total trailer weight therefore your calculation of total trailer weight is within range.

What if the heavy thing is not symmetrical

Thanks for the video!

That's a genius hack. Thanks for sharing that idea.

Do you know a way to flatten an angle bracket if I don’t have the equipment you have

Thanks a bunch, gonna use this method to weigh a big overhead door to calculate for proper spring assembly. Saved me from having to take down and weigh each section as they're all different (Frankenstein door)

wouldn't it help to drill starter holes first?

You just solve my problem

How about the Torsion Stress this applies to the Beam section of the Torsion Axle. The Square Tube in the Beam is not designed to twist. Say you cross the load equalizer through a ditch like section, front right in full compression and left rear in full compression, that twist FAR exceeds the design of a Static Axle Tube. Torsion Axles are designed so the Flange mounted to a static load takes the full load and twist while the connecting Beam from one side to the other is only there to keep the Camber and Caster of the wheels in line.

What brand of trailer is that? I'm betting if you research the company, its built out of Georgia, which are known for cheap, flexible, and under braced trailers.
