Product Overview

The FWN-041 trailer leaf spring is a three-leaf suspension component designed for utility trailers and compatible axle applications. With a rated capacity of 1,500 lb per spring, this double eye leaf spring provides a practical solution for trailer manufacturers, replacement parts distributors, and bulk buyers seeking dependable suspension components for light-duty trailer applications.

Featuring a 20-inch length and a 1.75-inch leaf width, this trailer suspension spring is designed to meet specific dimensional and load requirements. Both ends are equipped with PE-225 bushings to support installation in compatible suspension assemblies. Its compact three-leaf construction makes it suitable for applications where spring dimensions, load capacity, and mounting compatibility are important considerations.

Key Product Features

1,500 lb Load Capacity

Each FWN-041 leaf spring has a rated capacity of 1,500 lb. This specification helps buyers evaluate its suitability for their intended trailer suspension configuration. Actual axle capacity depends on the complete suspension assembly, the number of springs installed, weight distribution, and the ratings of other suspension components. Buyers should verify the required load rating before selecting a replacement or specifying the spring for a new trailer.

Three-Leaf Spring Construction

The three-leaf configuration provides a straightforward design for compatible utility trailer suspensions. The individual steel leaves work together to support the applied load and accommodate suspension movement during operation. Correct spring selection depends on more than the number of leaves, so buyers should also consider the spring's dimensions, load rating, mounting arrangement, and intended operating conditions.

Double Eye Ends with PE-225 Bushings

The FWN-041 features a double eye design, with a bushing installed at each end. Both end bushings are specified as PE-225. This configuration is intended for compatible mounting arrangements using the appropriate spring hangers and suspension hardware. Before ordering, buyers should confirm the eye dimensions, bushing fit, bolt compatibility, and mounting geometry to ensure proper installation.

Compact Dimensions for Utility Trailers

With a specified length of 20 inches and a leaf width of 1.75 inches, this trailer leaf spring is intended for applications requiring these dimensional characteristics. The source specification also lists a 3.5-inch free-opening measurement, although the precise definition of this measurement should be confirmed before final design approval or replacement selection.

Product Specifications

Applications and Compatibility

The FWN-041 double eye trailer leaf spring is intended for utility trailers and compatible axle suspension assemblies. It may be considered for trailer manufacturing, suspension replacement, and aftermarket parts distribution where the specified dimensions and load rating meet the application requirements.

When replacing an existing leaf spring, buyers should compare the original component's length, width, eye configuration, bushing specifications, and rated capacity. Matching only the overall length may not be sufficient because differences in spring geometry or load-deflection characteristics can affect suspension performance and installation.

For new trailer production, the spring should be evaluated as part of the complete suspension assembly. The trailer's intended gross weight, axle rating, load distribution, and operating conditions should all be considered before confirming suitability. Buyers should not assume that the individual spring capacity directly represents the permissible payload of the finished trailer.

Ordering Information for Wholesale Buyers

The FWN-041 is offered with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, making it suitable for bulk purchasing by trailer manufacturers, parts wholesalers, and distributors. Each unit has a listed weight of 9.77 lb, which can help buyers estimate shipment weight and plan warehouse handling.

When requesting a quotation, buyers should confirm the required quantity, destination, packaging preferences, delivery schedule, and any documentation requirements. For replacement orders, providing the existing spring's specifications or a technical drawing can help reduce compatibility issues and ensure that the selected component matches the intended application.
