Major were wanting £2200 + carriage for a 10 stud commercial granning axle for my 3100 tanker.

Surely one out of an old tri axle trailer would do. I sold my spare one for 150

What happened to your old axle? Did it bend?

For £2200 I'd want a tanker.

There is nothing wrong with it. I wanted to change the axle just to be on the safe side. Its a lot of weight to have on one axle and the tanker has moved a lot of stuff. We found out the hard way once before that when it goes wrong its spectacular(@Jim75 had to rescue old McD from the side of a round about after the axle snapped on a different make o tanker). I thought half that would be more than plenty!

I had a 2600 major and I hated it it was an accident waiting to happen,if I ever got another lgp tanker I would fit a lift axle,it would halve the stress and make it far more stable on the road.

Next one will be a tandem. The single axle tankers are fine as long as they are treated with respect.

I've hired a 3000 challenger in the past far better on the road but axle set up costs something like £9k the best one around us was built using an air lift axle,cheap and works better.

Was advised against the Challengers by a man that has one very heavy, very high and likes to break springs. I had wondered if it would be possible to fit an air suspended axle to the tanker that could lift like a lorry.

I don't really understand the single axle on a tanker, I have a single axle trailer on the same axle as the tanker and I wouldn't go over 6 tons of a load, yet the tanker could be double that plus a big wheel to put more strain on the axle

More like triple that weight!

I think challengers were designed before air on tractors was common and they just went with it,air is so simple and cheap plus it's so easy to control.

I know! Then throw it into a corner or go across a hill with those high wheels, no wonder the axles don't last!

I've yet to see one with a 50k sticker on the front,I did help recover one when it overturned for the 2nd or 3rd time.

Ours had decided to start bouncing now when you go over 20 mph, must be a safety feature It would bounce you into next week so we just drive her easy now,

what size tyre and pressure?

 

[ridger]

30.5 by 32 or is it 32 by 30.5, in around 40 psi is the smoothest pressure as regards bouncing. If it's pumped full with slurry pump it's not as bad, but if it's filling itself it's awful
