Axle-less trailer suspension: pros and cons?

This goes into the "you learn something new every day" category -- I never heard of this before. It seems like a good idea -- improved stability and ground clearance, especially for those of us who take our trailers off pavement. Not cheap, but might be worthwhile?

If you have any additional insights, I'd be very interested in your comments!

  • The frame must be cross braced! Without an axel to spread the lateral forces the frame can twist.
    Other than that, they are a good suspension.
  • Has been used for years on light duty sailboat trailers. They must be somewhat dependable.
