2. There is "No Guessing" when it comes to building out an axle. 

Explanation

When building out an axle, there is no room for guessing. This means that one must have precise measurements and follow specific guidelines to ensure that the axle is built correctly. Guessing can lead to improper alignment and functionality of the axle, which can be dangerous. Therefore, the statement "There is 'No Guessing' when it comes to building out an axle" is true, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and precision in the construction process.

3. Tapered spindles will have HM212049 / HM218248 bearing combination. 

Explanation

Tapered spindles typically use the HM212049 / HM218248 bearing combination.

4. Most axles have an identifier on the tube of the axle, which is actually a riveted metal tag or adhesive tag. 

Explanation

Most axles do have an identifier on the tube, either in the form of a riveted metal tag or an adhesive tag. This identifier helps in identifying the specific axle and provides information about its specifications and characteristics.

Submit
5. If you have a 102" wide trailer, your axle track is 77-1/2".

Explanation

The statement is true because the axle track refers to the distance between the centerlines of the two wheels on the same axle. In this case, if the trailer is 102" wide, it means that the distance between the centerlines of the two wheels on the axle is 77-1/2", which confirms the given statement to be true.

Submit
6. You can download an Axle Specification Form from the FleetPride Intranet under Marketing & Communication Tools. 

Explanation

The statement is true because it states that an Axle Specification Form can be downloaded from the FleetPride Intranet under Marketing & Communication Tools. This implies that there is a form available for download on the intranet, which supports the truthfulness of the statement.

Submit
7. If you know the width of the trailer, then you can determine the width of the axle track. 

Explanation

If you know the width of the trailer, then you can determine the width of the axle track. This statement is true because the axle track is the distance between the two wheels on an axle. Since the width of the trailer includes the width of the axle track plus the width of the trailer body, if you subtract the width of the trailer body from the total width of the trailer, you will be left with the width of the axle track. Therefore, knowing the width of the trailer allows you to determine the width of the axle track.

Submit
8. If you have a 96" wide trailer, then your axle track is 71-1/2".

Explanation

The statement is true because the axle track refers to the distance between the centers of the two wheels on an axle. In this case, if the trailer is 96" wide, it means that the distance between the centers of the wheels is 71-1/2", which confirms the statement as true.

Submit
9. Wall thickness determines the capacity of the axle. 

Explanation

The statement is true because the wall thickness of an axle directly affects its strength and durability. A thicker wall can withstand more weight and pressure, increasing the capacity of the axle to carry heavier loads. On the other hand, a thinner wall would have a lower capacity and may be more prone to bending or breaking under stress. Therefore, the wall thickness is an important factor in determining the capacity of an axle.

Submit
10. Low boy axles run 12-1/4" x 7-1/2" brake shoes.
