GIGANT swivel axle with drum brakes

Swivel axles with drum brakes

19. September 2018

GIGANT has continuously adapted the swivel axle with drum brakes over the years to customers' limited assembly spaces and therefore enables an extremely compact design, which stands out with a minimum track of 495 mm.  

The swivel axles with drum brakes are equipped with a maintenance-free SKF compact bearing, which guarantees a tried-and-tested high mileage without maintenance. Moreover, the swing axle with drum brakes also has the drum installed in front of the hub, which enables quick and easy changing of the drum or brake pads without special tools.

The swivel axles are designed in a way that two different rim types with an offset of 55 and 66 mm can be used.

Reliability and an easy service are particularly important when it comes to swing axles, which gigant has demonstrated over the course of many years and with numerous large vehicle manufacturers.
