Compatibility and Fitment

This BPW tomahawk peg is intended for BPW drum brake axles that use a threaded tomahawk style peg in the brake assembly. Fitment should always be checked against the original peg and the vehicle identification plate before installation to confirm compatibility. No additional cross reference part numbers have been formally verified for this item at this time.

Compliance and Safety

Correct tomahawk peg selection helps maintain brake geometry, therefore it supports safe and consistent braking performance across the axle group. Always install the peg into clean, undamaged brackets and tighten to the vehicle or axle manufacturer torque recommendations. Additionally, replace related bushes, levers or hardware that show wear so the new peg is not loaded unevenly. After installation, check brake clearances and operation before returning the trailer to service.

Trailer Applications

The BPW tomahawk peg is suitable for heavy trailer applications including general freight, tankers, tippers and other on road combinations that run BPW drum brake axles. It suits fleet maintenance teams, trailer manufacturers and brake repair workshops who want genuine pattern components that align with BPW design. In addition, keeping spare tomahawk pegs on hand can reduce downtime during scheduled brake relines.
