About a year ago I purchased a new Majic Tilt trailer for my boat. This is the first trailer I've had new in many years. The wheels have sealed hubs, something new to me. I asked a rep. At Majic Tilt about maintainance of the bearings. He told me no maintainance was required. This just doesn't seem possible to me and I was wondering if I could get some input from someone that has experience with this new to me hub system.:dono
Couple of different kinds, oil bath and sealed bearing. Both are Maintaince free if installed properly. We used both kinds on big trucks and trailers last couple of years I worked. Ran some 2-3 hundred thousand miles with no problems.
Mine are sealed hubs. That makes me feel better. I guess the water won't get to the bearings.
not unless the seals go badQuote:

I have them on my trailer. I was told by trailer company, if there is no signs of oil leaking out, leave them alone. I believe there is a 5 year warranty, and 10 extended warranty available. Those hubs a pressurized to help keep moisture out.
Maybe they called mine sealed hubs. The trailer manufacturer rep. Claimed no maintainence.
yes, you have the same as me. Like I said, if no signs of leaks, don't touch
Well whats the name of them? Or post a pic. Im interested.
Nothing really to see with a picture but Majic Tilt has a web site you could get information or find out how to contact someone there for info. That's what I did to find out about them. I was just curious about someone's personal experience. I was just not comfortable with the no maintainence thing.:dono By the way I have never tried to post pictures, I need to try it.
