Wheelie Bin Axles – Solid, Semi-Hollow & Hollow
We make the complete range: solid, semi-hollow, full hollow with closed ends and full hollow with open ends. We make them all from DIN ST 37.2 (Q235B) low-carbon steel with a 10–60 µm zinc coating. For corrosive sites, stainless steel is also available.
Choose a diameter of 19 mm, 21.5 mm (the most common) or 22 mm, a hollow wall of 1.8, 2.0 or 2.5 mm, and any length. We can colour-paint axle ends so your production line can tell sizes apart at a glance.

Wheelie Bin Axles – Solid, Semi-Hollow & Hollow: all parts


Choosing between wheelie bin axles
Solid axles are the strongest, so they suit heavy commercial use. Semi-hollow and hollow axles are lighter and cheaper to ship, while closed ends keep water and dirt out of the tube.
For more detail, read our axle sizes guide and the zinc vs stainless guide.
