Hi All

My Std Cirrus trailer (eberle) needs a new torsion axle with a handbrake... cant find one in US? Any one else had this problem ?

Hoping there is some experience on sourcing one of these ...

Help much appreciated

Steve has a Pfeiffer trailer using a US built ALKO axle with hydraulic brake, but at the time it was ordered the hand brake option wasn't available. Someone had removed the hand brake from the trailer years before I owned it.
The ALKO order form at their then distributor Axle, Inc in Elkhart included width and position of the flanges, length of axle, drop angle, size of brake, bolt pattern, etc.
Dexter and ALKO are now one company in the USA.

Get in touch with them. You won't find mechanical brakes, but the hydraulic with parking brake option should work. Requires a hydraulic actuator to bolt on the trailer tongue. Hopefully the hand brake will work with the existing bits on the tongue.
