A closed end hollow axle is a light steel tube with both ends formed shut.
Formed from steel tube with closed ends, it's far lighter than a solid axle. Closing the ends keeps water, dirt and insects out of the tube and gives a clean, finished look.

What a closed end hollow axle does
We start with a steel tube and then form both ends closed. So water, dirt and insects stay out of the tube.
As a result, the axle weighs far less than a solid one and also looks clean and finished on the bin.
Specification
We make it from low carbon steel DIN ST 37.2 (Q235B) or an equivalent grade, then zinc plate it with a 10 to 60 µm coating. Also, the wall comes in 1.8, 2.0 or 2.5 mm.
Next, choose an outer diameter of 19, 21.5 or 22 mm, or send a drawing. Finally, the ends come free of burrs and sharp edges.
Closed end hollow axle vs open end
Both tubes save weight. However, the closed end hollow axle keeps the inside clean, while the open end version costs less where the bin design already shields the ends. So send us a photo, the bin model or a sample, and we reply with a drawing and a quote within 12 hours.
