think the load rating is approx 6.5 t per tire so trailer tires 26 t plus draw bar weight 2 t equals 28t before over loaded i know they do load the trailers but most loads are weighted and are legal so well under the tire spec . speed 50k is 50 k they are running standard modern tractors not jcb or fendt . all road work so no reason to under inflate and they been doing job for years so would be correct pressure.

Good point....

I can still recall a local chap complaining that his trailer bearings kept breaking down, but when the manufacturer went and saw them, it was pretty evident over loaded and more importantly, high speed was to blame...

But not relevant to the OP, sorry.
reminds me of a chap round here that had a new McCormick tractor brakes worn out in 500 hrs swore and created merry hell with the dealer to the point he stopped paying the finance after a bit of investigation turns out he had been leading in Sileage with no brakes on any of his trailers working he had a big lot of egg on face and a hefty bill

One thing I am often guilty of is failing to check tyre pressures. But I do find most tyre manufactures make it difficult or vague to work out what the correct pressure should be in trailer tyres.
Trailer manufacturers are as bad. Why when you buy a 14t trailer does it not tell you what the load per tyre is?
