1800 kg Knott Torsion Axle – 250×40 Heavy Duty Braked Axle for European Caravans
This 1800 kg knott torsion axle is a heavy duty OEM braked axle engineered for European caravans, camper trailers, medium utility trailers and off-road camping builds. Featuring an integrated 250×40 mm brake drum and independent rubber-damped torsion suspension, this braked axle delivers superior stopping power and smooth load handling for trailers rated up to 1800 kg.
Built to Knott-compatible specifications, this 1800kg knott torsion axle combines a forged torsion arm with high-strength steel tubing and a precision-machined 250×40 brake drum. The larger drum diameter provides increased braking surface and heat dissipation compared to standard 200×50 drums, making it ideal for heavier caravans and fully loaded campers navigating mountain passes or extended highway tours. The 5×112 bolt pattern ensures direct compatibility with standard European wheels.

Why Choose This 1800kg Knott Torsion Axle
The 250×40 brake drum offers a larger braking surface than standard 200×50 configurations, providing more confident stopping for heavier, faster-moving trailers. The independent torsion suspension keeps each wheel in contact with uneven terrain, reducing cargo shift and improving ride comfort for passengers and equipment alike. Built to true Knott dimensions, this axle bolts directly to standard European suspension arms and chassis mounts.
