No it only weighs 8 tonnes, the trailer is on a 10 ton axle and sheared with the 5th wheel so should be finetha's pushing it on the axle weight isn't it @Mogman ?? see you kept one tool box too

When hawk existed they got done near us for running between compounds on existing road with low loaders on tractors etcA lot of bypass/road jobs will incorporate existing roads as the worksite.....All very odd

I thought the road weight limit was 8T per axle?
Even if your axle limit was higher.

They'r usually not the same spec axles on a triple, smaller shoes.
We normally run the tyres at less pressure on a our triple 60 psi instead of 90.
They seem to last better like that.

Don't complain - suggest what's better
I'm not sure what make you run, but when I moved from Ifor twin axle to triple my spares still fitted. It would seem much easier for the factory just to have one type of axles, after all the trailer bodies are the same on twin or triple axle.

The triples must have some affect as the new Mitsubishi l200 is rated to tow 3.5t with TRI axles only

Well that doesn't make any sense to me. Probably just to do with not being able to put as much nose weight on if badly loading?
I reckon the trouble with all these pickups is they're tying to make them like a car to appeal to lifestyle buyers and those just looking to save the vat on a 'poshtwatmobile'. Trouble is, soft coil springs and torsion bars are no use for towing- they need either chunky leaf springs or airbags.

Braking coefficient.... Triaxle will have more surface resistance.

The triple axles are rated at 1500kg each, the tandems are 1800kgs each.

more to do with the springs than the actual axles i'd wager ...... 300Ks difference in axle build'd not warrant totally different design of the actual axle

They have different part numbers for the axles, and seem to have 200x50mm brake shoes vs 250x50mm
