It is a tandem, and it has singles on both sides of the frame rails. what is the name for that. Its rated at 10 tons, and about 20 feet long.
that style axle set-up is known as a trunion style axle. In Australia, they would call that 2 rows of 8.
Is it just different than tandem duals, or is there a feature that makes them better some how.
It is different in numerous ways. It probably has a weight rating that would be greater than a conventional tandem for one thing. Higher weight rating will probably mean a beefier structure/frame, so you'll be toten more weight empty. If you're not located on the west coast, you won't get any more weight allowance than a conventional tandem. And they are a bit harder/costlier to maintain, ie; tires, brakes, brgs, etc. Not talking down on them, just you might want to consider those things, before ya take tha plunge. If Chaz happens on this, he is much more qualified than I am to extoll the virtues of a trunion axle set-up:notworthy Just, messin with ya Chaz. You guys build some fine trailers.
I need to see what the tires are rated at. It looks like it would spread the weight out more than duals. My girl friends grandpa got me a pc50, and this is the trailer he uses to haul his equiment
he says he hauls his case 580's with this trailer and he has a case 780. It looks like the trailer could use new decking lol
Looks like an Econoline Multi-Max trailer to me. They make pretty good trailers. I have 2, but none with this set up. They do it to keep the deck lower, but still get 4 tires per axle. The beam between the axles is just the equaliser, but is longer due to the spread axle design. Here is a link to show the suspension on their website. http://www.econolinetrailers.com/Multi-Max-Trailers.asp
Those look like mobile home style tires and wheels. I'm guessing they are 14.5" diameter wheels. They can handle quite a bit of weight and are easy to come by at or around your nearest trailer park.
That was the case here until the last few years. Now they pull the wheels off when they set them up. No idea why.
I thought bigger rims would hold more weight
Looks like one of those Backhoe Pro trailers to me. Usually have a 12 ton rating.
It looks really old lol i'll try to get more pics soon
trail king used to make a trailer like that. the neighbor had one to haul his dozer on.
My Dad had one like that years ago, I think it was a haul-it-all:beatsme
I can't find a model number or manf. id anywhere on the trailer, the tires are load range F and rated at 2800 at (8) tires.
