Our semi-hollow wheelie bin axle has solid ends and a hollow middle.
A semi-hollow axle keeps solid steel where the wheels lock on and removes weight from the middle. A good balance of cost, weight and strength for high-volume bin production.

Why buy a semi-hollow wheelie bin axle
The solid steel sits at both ends, where the wheels lock on. Meanwhile the middle stays hollow, so the axle weighs less than a solid one.
As a result, it balances cost, weight and strength for high-volume bin production.
Specification
We use 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 hollow 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 your own drawing. Finally, we can paint the ends so each size is easy to spot.
Is a semi-hollow wheelie bin axle right for you
Pick solid for the hardest use. However, if your bins see normal household rounds, this design saves steel and freight.
