An extractor that will not roll straight is an extractor that fights you across every job. The Sandia 10-0836-L is the genuine replacement axle for Bridgepoint-badged Sniper extractors, the shaft that carries the machine's main wheels and takes the load every time a loaded 12-gallon unit is wheeled up a ramp or dropped off a tailgate.
Sandia builds machines under private-label brands as well as its own, and Bridgepoint units are built on the Sniper platform. That is why the axle for a Bridgepoint machine carries a Sandia part number: the chassis underneath is the same one Sandia's parts lists document. Carpet cleaning owner-operators and facility maintenance techs buy this part when a machine that should still have years of service left has become awkward and unsafe to move.
Built for
- Bridgepoint-badged Sniper series carpet extractors built on the Sandia platform
- Machines that are loaded and unloaded from vans and trucks every working day
- Restoration and commercial crews moving loaded units over thresholds, curbs and ramps
- Refurbishment of used machines being returned to rental or resale service
When to replace it
- Machine will not track straight, or pulls hard to one side when wheeled
- Wheels wobble, sit at an angle, or bind against the housing
- Axle is visibly bent after a drop, a hard ramp landing, or a tailgate fall
- Wheel or end cap will no longer stay seated on the axle
- Axle is corroded or scored where the wheels ride
Installation and service notes
Inspect the wheels, end caps and any retaining hardware while the axle is out. A bent axle usually comes with damaged end caps or scored wheel bores, and replacing only the shaft leaves you with the same wobble.
Confirm the axle length against your machine before ordering. Sandia lists more than one axle for this platform, and a Bridgepoint-badged unit should be matched against the parts list for the specific model rather than assumed. Our staff can confirm it against your serial plate.
Most axle damage on these machines happens during loading, not during cleaning. Using a ramp rather than lifting a loaded machine off a tailgate, and draining the recovery tank before moving the unit, prevents most of it.

Frequently asked questions
Why does a Bridgepoint machine take a Sandia part number?
Sandia manufactures machines under private-label brands as well as its own. Bridgepoint units are built on the Sniper platform, so the chassis parts carry Sandia part numbers and appear on Sandia parts lists.
How do I know the axle is bent and not just a bad wheel?
Pull the wheels and roll the axle on a flat surface. A bent shaft is obvious immediately. If the axle is true, the wobble is in the wheel bore or the end cap instead.
Should I replace the wheels at the same time?
Inspect them. An axle that bent hard enough to need replacing usually scored the wheel bores or damaged the end caps, and replacing everything at once saves a second teardown.
