Description / Farm Wagon Bed Bolster Springs
Price begins with the 2500 lb. set and incrementally increases as heaver sizes are selected.
Amish quality USA-made double coil bolsters spring and socket assemblies are made to slide over tubular farm wagon axles up to 3-3/4” wide. They fit just under the outside corner of the bed. Heavy angle iron bolts to the wagon bed and the chain fastens under the axle to prevent it from lifting off the axle. The strength and size of the coil springs are engineered for the different weight sizes. Replaces the need to attach the bed to fixed welded wagon gear frame beam brackets. These units will only raise the wagon bed a few inches.
Spring sockets are equipped with grease zerks and will need to be greased to prevent squeaking.
Note: The wagon will need to have a fixed front axle with automobile-style tie-rod steering. These will not work on a fifth wheel-style wagon tongue where the front axle must turn under the bed.
