Authorized Distributor
The local face of Dexter Group.
Axle Inc. is the Elkhart-area's exclusive Dexter Group distributor. That means full access to Dexter's complete catalog of axles, brakes, suspension, and components - backed by local stock, local service, and a phone that gets answered.
Why this matters
Dexter Group is the largest North American manufacturer of trailer axles, brake systems, and components. If you've owned a trailer in the last forty years, statistically you've ridden on Dexter parts - they're the OEM standard for most major trailer manufacturers.
Being an authorized distributor isn't a marketing label. It means we're an extension of Dexter for the Elkhart area: we carry their full catalog at distributor pricing, we get their engineering support, we honor their warranties, and we participate in their customer rebates. When you buy a Dexter axle from Axle Inc., you're getting the same part you'd get from the factory - just faster, with someone you can call.
The Dexter line, in stock locally.
We carry every category Dexter makes - and we keep the high-volume parts on the shelf so most repairs are same-day or next-day.
Trailer Axles
Torflex, leaf-spring, and rubber-torsion axles from 1,000 to 10,000 lb capacity. Built to spec, branded Dexter, stocked locally.
Brake Systems
Electric drum (Nev-R-Adjust and standard), hydraulic drum, and hydraulic disc. Plus actuators, controllers, and complete brake assemblies.
Suspension
Leaf spring suspension, hangers, equalizers, and hardware for single, tandem, and triple-axle systems.
Hubs & Drums
Idler hubs, hub-and-drum assemblies, full hub-bearing-seal kits - Dexter OEM, the same parts the trailer left the factory with.
Ag & Utility Components
Heavy-duty axles and components for agricultural, utility, and commercial applications. Built for working trailers.
Replacement Parts
Bearings, seals, magnets, shoes, springs, hardware - Dexter genuine, with full part-number traceability.
Built for everyone - from weekend trailer owner to OEM
Whether you've got a 12-foot utility trailer that needs new bearings or you're a manufacturer building 200 trailers a quarter, the Dexter catalog has the right component. Our job is connecting you to it without a six-week lead time.
Rebates, warranty, and engineering support
Dexter runs ongoing customer rebates on axles and brake assemblies. As an authorized distributor, we process those rebates directly - you don't chase them. Dexter also stands behind their components with industry-leading warranties, and we handle warranty claims locally so you're not on the phone with a national support queue.
Need engineering input? Spec'ing a custom axle or brake configuration? We have direct lines to Dexter's engineering team and can get application-specific recommendations turned around fast.
