AL-KO?

I just discovered a manual for AL-KO in my Montana. It is for axles, brakes, drums and hubs. Seems to me there is nothing on this trailer made by AL-LO...is there??

Tlightning, I think (but could be wrong) that AL-KO makes the brakes, drumbs and hubs that go on the Axle.

Gents, it depends on who supplied the axles. I think Keystone uses about 3 different manufactures. Lippert, Alco-Kolber and Dexter.

I should have also said that each of those manufactures supply brakes, drums,hubs and everything. It is all one assembly when Keystone gets the axle. All they simply do is bolt the axles to the frame and then bolt the wheels and tires to each axle and then send it down the assembly line for the rest of it to be put together.

Okay, so how do we know for sure what is on each trailer? I know I have a Lippert frame/pin box.

The only way you'll know for sure which brand axles you have is by crawling underneath your rig. Dexter has their name stamped on the brake backing plates and on the axles.

My Alko axles have a metal ID band around them that is stamped Alko with the weight rating.
