Unbraked Torsion Axle 1800 kg – Knott Half Axle for European Light Trailers
This 1800 kg Knott unbraked torsion axle is a premium half axle designed for European light trailers, caravans, jet ski trailers and compact utility trailers. As an idler axle with no integrated braking system, this unbraked torsion axle offers a cost-effective, low-maintenance suspension solution for lightweight towing applications where a full braked axle is not required.
Engineered to Knott-compatible specifications, this 1800 kg half axle features independent rubber-damped torsion suspension that allows each wheel to move separately, delivering a smoother, quieter ride compared to traditional spring axles. The forged torsion arm and high-strength steel axle tube ensure reliable load handling up to 1800 kg, while the compact half axle design simplifies installation on standard European trailer and caravan chassis.
