A non-driven axle (200) for a vehicle or a trailer is provided. The axle includes a first arm portion (202), a second arm portion (204), and a central portion (230). The first arm portion is for rotatably mounting a first wheel hub. The second arm portion is for rotatably mounting a second wheel hub. The second arm portion is on an axial end of the central portion opposite the first arm portion. The central portion is between the first arm portion and the second arm portion and may be substantially arch-shaped or substantially ring-shaped. The central portion includes a main portion (232) and an inner portion (234). The non-driven axle reduces a weight of a vehicle or trailer while capable of being lifted without interfering with an operation of a drive axle.
