Selling nearly 45,000 axles in a year translates into a significant number of trailers with your axles on them . We spoke with Christopher Cloutier , business development manager for Frameco , the company manufacturing all these axles . He tells us , “ The one thing you will notice immediately about our process is that ALL of our 2K - 8K G . V . W . R . axles are galvanized . Ten years ago , we began galvanizing them and we have not looked back . The extra protection compared to the painted steel or powder coat is night and day , and we believe it really sets us apart . Especially considering we have a price and capability similar to the competition . We are also a licensed manufacturer of FLEXIRIDE ‘ build to suit ’ axle systems . These torsion axles allow a wide range of adjustability in the trailer manufacturing or repair process while remaining compatible with industry-standard hubs , drums and brakes .”
