U-Bolts in Trailer Applications

In trailer suspension systems, U-Bolts are among the most essential fastening components. They secure the axle to the leaf spring pack and ensure the entire suspension assembly remains stable under dynamic road conditions. Any weakness in this connection can directly affect load safety, vehicle stability, and long-term durability.

Trailer U-Bolts are exposed to continuous stress caused by heavy loads, braking forces, uneven road surfaces, and long-distance operation. For this reason, they must be manufactured with precise geometry, high-strength material, and controlled production processes.

At Tekay, U-Bolts for trailer applications are produced using carefully selected steel grades, followed by forging and bending processes that ensure uniform strength throughout the part. Threading operations are performed with strict dimensional control to guarantee secure fastening. Heat treatment is applied to achieve the required mechanical properties, ensuring resistance to fatigue and deformation over time.

With in-house production capabilities and decades of experience, Tekay supplies U-Bolts that support safe and reliable trailer operation across domestic and international markets.
