How To Read an Axle Label

Sprung and Torflex axle labels can be found on the side of the axle facing your rear bumper. The axle label provides critical manufacturing information, including the axle serial number, axle capacity, and axle build information. Locating your axle label will help ensure that you identify your axle correctly. If you need to replace an axle, please locate the axle label before contacting Dexter.

PROTIP: Take a picture of your axle label when you first purchase your trailer. This way, you have a clear picture of the label with all the critical axle specifications at your fingertips when needed.

Identification Features:

1. Customer Part Number or Axle Model Number

2. Axle Configuration Number

3. Axle Model and Capacity (lbs.)

4. Hub Face, Spring Center, Outside of Bracket, and Start Angle

5. Nev-R-Adjust® Callout

6. Serial Number (Barcode)

7. Serial Number (Digits)

Can’t find your axle label? Your nine-digit axle serial number is etched into the axle tube near the center on the rear side.

PROTIP: If the axle is older, try rubbing a piece of chalk over the number to help bring out the engraving better.
