Addit: What is worse is that I ordered the item Wednesday evening/night was home for the entire period from the morning after the order. This included the Thursday, the next day Friday, the entire following Weekend, the entire Monday and until 1 pm on Tuesday. Star Track arrived at 1.30pm on Tuesday. (Not that I would have expected delivery on Thursday or even Friday)

star track charge for the second or successive drop thats why they wont authorise it. most comapnies will do a second drop for nix...

Justin is correct - the tapered stub axles have lower load ratings.

• Holden = 1000Kg
• Ford = 1450Kg

While the "parallel" bearings have higher load ratings depending on the dimensions of the axle starting at 1600Kg and going well over 2000Kg per axle.

can you legally weld axels?




would make your job much cheaper justin,,

AFAIK there's no reason why not. To my knowledge the axle is usually only Grade 250 (mild steel) so I can't see why not. May well be corrected though.

That may be correct, however Couplemate knew they were dispatching to a private home and they know Star-Track charge for second deliveries.

What would make any company in Australia in 2007 think that there would be someone home in the middle of the day in the business week.

Why did Couplemate, an internet/mail order trading company not have any arrangements in place to respond to email messages for 10 days after the failed delivery? (I work during the day and have long distance bar on my work telephone.)

Why is there not a part on CoupleMates on-line order system to designate alternate delivery if there is no one home? I have great neighbours many of them retired who are home all day, any of 4 neighbours could have received the delivery.

It is fascinating, there are all these ADRs specifying almost everything about building trailers including that the safety chains must be load rated on each link - try to find that type of chain at CAMAC (Caravan Accessories)? :mad:

When it comes to axles they specify the load ratings of different types of bearings and outside dimensions of the axle, but nowhere does it specify what grade of steel it should be.

You can even use square tubing with the stub axles in the ends and all semi trailer axles are welded..

So weld away

The brakes have been bought, fitted and tested.

Thanks guys.
