HOW THE DURAHUB SYSTEM WORKS
The Durahub system is fully tested and proven to protect against damage from water and dirt entering the wheel bearings by sealing the area from outside contaminants. The Durahub creates a controlled environment around the wheel bearing by way of a rubber diaphragm. This importantly maintains internal hub pressure by expanding and contracting, keeping the wheel bearing constantly lubricated with Durahub Bearing Oil.
With our unique clear polycarbonate lens, you can easily monitor oil levels at any time. Top-ups are easily achieved through our easy access plug without the use of any specialty tools.
WHY WHEEL BEARINGS FAIL
Trailer wheel hubs create tremendous heat under normal travelling conditions. When submerged in water, such as backing a boat into water, the hubs are suddenly cooled. Air inside the hubs contracts and a vacuum is created. Water and dirt are sucked into the hubs through the inner seals and corrosion sets in immediately. From then on, bearing failure can be imminent within 12 months. Failure also occurs when the trailer is overloaded, so ensure the weight is below the limit.
