This axle, equipped with two automobile wheels, is designed to support the ends of the trunks which usually drag on the ground. It consists of an axle about 1.5 m (5 ft) wide whose rounded surface makes it easier for the trunks to slide. A removable stake is installed on each side of the sulky, to contain the load. A tube welded perpendicular to the front of the axle, with a chain on the end, is used to attach the load firmly.
