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
Lol I can imagine dave it's just ihave had no dealings with tri axles had loads of 2 and 1 axles but quite like the look of this trailer thanks dave regards rich.
 
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
Ment to say the body is 13 feet + the drawbar understand wot your saying regarding pushing dave it looks to me it's on 13 inch wheels .
 
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
Thanks for your time dave .the guy wants £2800 for it it's made in the Netherlands by a company called hapert ? I haven't hered of them dont know about you ? but looked on there website they look pretty good .

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 ,
 
Hi all many thanks for your replys very helpfull . This Is the plate on the trailer if anything makes sence ? Regards richard.
