Trailer Axles · Cassopolis, MI · Cass County
Diamond Lake trailers come to us for full axle replacements when years of submerged hubs catch up to the original running gear. Sealed-hub Dexter axles in 3,500 and 5,200 lb capacities cover almost every Cassopolis boat-trailer replacement we do.
Replacement and custom-built trailer axles for Cassopolis customers, sourced from Dexter Group or built locally to your exact specifications. Bring the spec plate, the old axle, or the trailer itself - we measure, match, and deliver. Standard configurations ship the same day; custom builds turn around in 3 to 7 business days.
Diamond Lake drives the trailer economy in Cassopolis. Pontoon, ski-boat, and fishing-boat trailers from Diamond Lake, Stone Lake, and the surrounding inland chain make up the majority of what we see from this area. The agricultural base around the town adds farm and equipment trailers to the mix.
Diamond Lake is deep, cold, and uses old-school launch ramps in places that submerge trailer hubs deeper than newer launches. That's hard on bearings. Every Cassopolis boat-trailer customer we see should be doing yearly bearing service, and we strongly recommend sealed-hub upgrades for any trailer over 5 years old. The upgrade pays for itself in saved bearings and avoided roadside failures.
Sixty-plus years of combined trailer experience, OEM Dexter inventory, and a service approach that treats Cassopolis customers the way we'd want to be treated.

Yes - non-standard lengths, unusual hub faces, and specific brake configurations are routine work. Provide a drawing, photos of the existing axle, or bring the trailer in. Most custom builds for Cassopolis, MI customers turn around in 3 to 7 business days.
Measure the hub face to hub face dimension, the spring center distance, the bolt pattern (count studs and measure across), and photograph the spec plate. We'll match the configuration. Cassopolis, MI customers can email photos before the trip and we'll quote ahead.
Match the axle to your real loaded weight, not your factory GVWR plate. We'll inspect the trailer, ask about typical load, and recommend a capacity with appropriate margin. Undersized axles fail; oversized ones are wasted money - we steer between.
