Which Is Cheaper? Purchasing A New Bogie Axle, Or Assembling It? by Teedautoparts: 10:36am On Mar 18, 2021
Hello everyone..

It's been a very long time I created a thread. Sorry about that...Been busy grin

So, recently I had some Bogie Axles for sale...All sold. grin

Then I had someone that wants to buy a Bogie Axle, but sadly, my own is finished.

Then I found another seller, but his is #2,200,000. angry

So, we decided to check if we could couple it and maybe reduce the cost....

The purpose of the thread is to see if it's possible to do so, and still save some cash

So....Leggo grin

So a recap of what we want..


We want to buy all the parts of a Bogie axle and couple it, maybe it may be less than #2,200,000

The particular spec is a 28T Bogie Axle, or Super 30 Bogie (In our Nigerian English grin )

This is what it looks like

Sorry guys, I've been busy grin

So, it seems the thread is no longer possible because the aim cannot be achieved. So we bought it new.

But I'll still continue with the thread though. Let's see if it's worth it

Okay,....First things first grin

When trying to buy parts for trailers in Lagos, there are two major markets you can source for parts..

1) Berger (This is on Apapa Oshodi Expressway)

2) Trade fair (This is on Lagos Badagry expressway)

The former is known for Tokunboh (second hand) parts, while the latter is known for New parts..

I have just discovered that there is a particular part that I can't get the new one currently...

It has to be a Tokunboh sad

These are the parts I need to assemble a Bogie Axle

So these are all I need...

Tomorrow, we would be sourcing for the parts, and then I'll let us know the number I need for each one
