I'm trying to get hubs on my Cooks trailer to match my Puma.
My trailer builder guy needs to know what bearings are on it before he can determine price etc.

Does anyone know?

I called them this afternoon and although I had an interesting chat with the owner about all things Cooks army trailer, they were not able tell me anything re the bearings.

Bugger

The brakes on my Haulmark are Cebco and I think they are the same as the Cooks, but I don't have the RPS only the User manual.

My axle was manufactured by Engineered Transport Equipment, perhaps a call to them, otherwise take the hub off and check the specs on the bearing directly.


Axles
Manufacturer: Engineered Transport Equipment
Type:Tubular steel beam

Main Brakes

Pull the hubs and read the bearing numbers off the races.

Not something I've done before but will gave a stab.
Any traps for the young players?

The Cooks trailer will use a standard commercial hub available through either Al-Ko or Trigg Bros.


The 1250Kg Tandem Haulmark trailer uses Suspension and Axles made by NP Hauffe (trading as Simplicity Axles). While not necessarily the same hub as used on the 750Kg Haulmark or Cooks, their website has a handy list to allow you to ID the various hub capacities by their bearing numbers and dimensions.


See their page: Options - ?Simplicity Axles (http://www.simplicityaxles.com.au/options.html)

Ahh. It should be easy enough if it's like a conventional setup. I can't remember. I did the bearings on my mil. trailer axle (not a Cooks and since sold) but that was easily 15 years ago.
