Notes
The maximum load is also dependant on the rating and capability of the truck and the tare weight of the truck. The deciding factor is usually the axle loadings. We usually suggest that 2-3 tonne is taken off maximum load of tandem and tri axle trailers to allow for practical loading situations.
*Please note Tri Axle trailers with pullout outriggers are slightly heavier by about 1 tonne.
