3 axle trailer

[Shavings man]

Hi all hope everyone is keeping well . Can I have your thoughts please on 3 axle trailers ie ride ect ? Only got chance of a large 3 axle box trailer I think it's on independent suspension beams only using it for carrying goods not livestock many thanks Richard.

Do you realise what can of worms you just opened??

For my money in the heavier weight category I wouldn't look beyond a tri axle on the rubber indespension type axle. Far nicer ride than leaf springs and more stable.

Cue the popcorn

What length trailer?

What length trailer?

Its 13 feet dave been told .

There's a school of thought that tri axle trailers want to push you on a when turning. Some trailers are on 12" wheels and are widely spaced which can give the push on effect.
my preference is for 10" wheels where the axles are tighter spaced. Push on isn't a problem

If it's 13" I'd go for twin axle

Just seen the pic in to post. They look nice and tightly spaced so should tow well. Would be better with lower profile tires but you can't do much about that

I don't see 3 axles being a plus point on that trailer but nor would I let it put you off. At worst it is 2 more tyres to wear out.

Yes it does seem a lot of axles for that size trailer dont know wot it's been used for ? Regards rich.

Looks like a Houghton to me, bargain

It'll tow nicely as a tri axle.

Box trailers aren't great for stability

Dave which suspension have you on your edwards , i see they offer a different one with shockers too , 900£ list price extra ,
Ref others saying about tyres , wearing , ours will run fully freighted most of time , its coming up 3 years old ,and have changed 3 tyres , 1 had a persistent slow puncture and changed back two as getting down ,dont want to be sat on side of busy road changing atyre ,when they £35/40:,
And like the smaller wheels as trailer sits lower ,

If it’s a European trailer, probably find it’s only rated at 2700kg gross, as most are out there,

 

[Shavings man]

[grainboy]

Oh okay 3500 gross, unusual for European trailer
