How do you keep tires on those trailers with such a spread on the axles ?? Especially the shot of the trailer with 4 machines on at once..
 
That was my question too. My tri-axle tears them up in a hurry.
They're no where near that far apart and no where near as professional! LOL
 
They go about a year for life or about 100,000 miles. I don't try to turn short turns. If I have to turn in a real short turn, it will either do it empty then load, or turn part of the way then back up to finish the turn.
That spread it a 10'2" they allow 40,000 on it then 34,000 on the drives and 12,000 on the steer. For a total of only 80,000 gross weight. I know that adds up to more than the gross.
 
The whole point of having the spread axles is so you can load heavier. DOT lets singles have 20,000lbs per axle, and limits tandems to 34,000 total for both axles. Singles have to be so far apart before they count as singles.

Thing is they only let you load to 80,000.

Since you can't load to 86,000 wouldn't it make more sense to have the trailer axles in tandem so the tires would last longer?
 
The whole point of the spread axles is you are almost always tail heavy with this type of trailer since the top deck is higher. This helps with the weight distribution so it will balance out. I posted a reply about the axle spread being 1ft 2 inches earlier. The tires will go at least 100,000 miles for me.
