Identifying Your Axle
To confirm this is the correct axle for your trailer, locate the green or silver AL-KO ETI plate (Identification Tag) at the centre of your current axle tube. The 6-digit ETI number on this plate cross-references directly to the Brian James part code, allowing you to verify the correct replacement before ordering. Because the 1800 kg axle features a thicker-walled steel tube assembly and larger brake drums compared to lighter variants, it is critical to use your trailer's 17-digit VIN to confirm that the 8975 width profile matches your exact chassis model before ordering.
