Identify Heavy Equipment Trailer Axle Type

The Grand Pooh-Bah ยท 2025-08-20 12:01

I'm looking at a equipment Trailer but don't know what this axle configuration is called. It's a 1977 Totem-All 15-Ton with 8 dayton wheels. Looks like you would have to go under the trailer to remove the inner wheels. Not sure if parts are even available, like brakes, seals, bearings ect. Totem-all is of course out of business

    They are a terrible trailer. Eat tires, a pain to check air pressure and change. Buy anything else. A tandem with duals if you really need the capacity, a heavy axle tandem with single tires if you don't need the capacity.

    Looks like a walking beam with mobile home tires & rims. Walk don't run....away.

    Thanks for the input. I've eliminated it from my list.

    Yeah, hard pass, good thing you scratched that one from your list. If it's a 15 ton and you were considering it, then that weight capacity would seem in the area you want to be. Any trailer with single tire tandem Dexter 8K or 10K axles would fit the bill then. And the parts are waaaaaayyyyy more common.
