In between the fender trailer with heavy axles

bdog · May 5, 2016

I am looking for a bumper pull or gooseneck equipment trailer where the deck sits in between the fenders and it has a low profile. Tilt would be preferred but dovetail and ramps would work. The kicker is I want it rated heavy. 10k tandem axles with 17.5" singles would be best but 8k might suffice. 7k ain't enough. Anyone know of a place that makes a trailer like this?

Are you wanting 10K for each axle or 10K combined. I bought my trailer in Conroe, it has twin 6K dexter axles with electric brakes on each axle. Here is a photo of it with my LS P7010 loaded on it.

10k each axle. Either gooseneck or pintle hitch. I won't be loading 20k on the axles the load will be more like 15-16k on the axles depending on the weight of the trailer.

PJ offers a 8k axle option for a bumper pull or gooseneck. After that you could always ask about custom.

Does Big-Tex offer something that heavy? I have seen some heavy rated tralers of theirs in this area but never paid any attention to what they offer.

With a 10K axle rating, would you be looking at something with semi-trailer tires (20" or larger) on it. I don't think you will find a 17" tire that will hold that much weight (5000 per tire).

17.5" Radial Tires

235/75/17.5 load range J are rated at 6,005 lbs a piece.

Lots of low profile step deck semi trailers have these tires on them instead of 22.5's. Four of them would be good for over 24k. Heck I could even go with 215/75/17.5 load range H at 4,805 lb a piece. That would give me 19,220 on the trailer. Not quite up to the axle rating but I don't plan on putting over 16k on the axles anyway.
