ABSTRACT:
An axle arrangement for a vehicular trailer is provided. This arrangement includes at least one rigid guide axle and therebehind a follower steering axle having wheel and tire assemblies that are connected to a rigid axle member via control levers and are interconnected via a tie bar. The axle members of the guide axle and of the follower steering axle are supported via connecting springs on brackets and pneumatic cushioning bellows that are secured to the chassis of the trailer. So that the follower steering axle can have the same connection dimension relative to the longitudinal members of the trailer as does the rigid guide axle, the connecting springs of the follower steering axle, between the forward brackets and the axle member, are bent inwardly toward the center of the axle member by an amount that is equal at most to half the difference between a center to center distance of the connecting springs of the rigid guide axle and the follower steering axle.
