C.E. Smith Axel Tie Plate Kit f/3" Round Axel

The C.E. Smith Axel Tie Plate Kit for 3" Round Axel is a complete suspension mounting solution designed for trailer applications requiring spring attachment to a round axle profile. This blister-packaged kit delivers all hardware necessary to mount fresh leaf springs in field or workshop conditions, making it essential for off-road recovery operations, trailer maintenance, and equipment deployment scenarios where suspension integrity is critical.

The kit includes two galvanized tie plates engineered to distribute load across the axle mounting surface, four yellow zinc-plated U-bolts for secure spring clamping, eight zinc-plated nuts for fastener security, and lock washers to prevent vibration-induced loosening. The zinc plating on fasteners provides corrosion resistance in field environments, while the galvanized tie plates withstand moisture exposure during extended deployment. This hardware specification is optimized for 3-inch round axles, the standard diameter used across many trailer platforms and towing configurations.

This kit serves operators, maintenance personnel, and field teams responsible for trailer serviceability and towing readiness. Whether managing transport equipment during tactical operations, maintaining off-road recovery rigs, or conducting routine suspension repairs, this tie plate kit eliminates the need to source fasteners separately. C.E. Smith tie plate kits are widely recognized in the marine and trailer industry for dependable hardware quality that meets repetitive load cycles without failure.

The compact, blister-packaged format enables storage in equipment kits or mobile repair lockers without bulk penalty. At 6 lbs total weight with dimensions of 9 x 1 x 12 inches, the kit remains portable while delivering a complete hardware solution. This is a verified C.E. Smith product (MPN 23003, UPC 768296002602) manufactured to industry specifications for 3-inch round axle applications.
