Filthy snowbacks with your spread axles.Also seen lots of them with a mile between axles, making things worse.

I've mentioned it in another thread somewhere and don't have the time or budget to start a new project but...
Trailer axles with unit bearings. Easy roadside repairs. Brake solution is the difficult part.
Surge brakes were mentioned as a solution (I'm personally not a fan). Disc + hydraulic control gets pricey.
It would be interesting to see a thread on this subject one day.
I've had a loaned out trailer come back with 4 bent solid spindles. Guy I loaned it to put boards on the side and loaded the 8x14 deck with limestone. No idea what it weighed but the spindles were all bent up after that. I flipped the axles over but it wasn't long before one snapped right off.
I've also seen a bunch of them on torsion suspension break right off, and I attribute it to the grease holes (that's where they always break).
Not my pic, just proof:

FixedUhaul uses the same unit bearing on all of the single axle utility trailers. If those don't get abused and overloaded, I don't know what does.

They've actually got a pretty good amount of variety and all the dual axle stuff is still using traditional axles so far as I can tell.
I'll take a picture next time I'm there.You just have to disagree with me no matter what?
You're wrong
Everyone on this site knows I've spent more time with those trailers in tow than just about anyone here. I never have had reason to rent the car hauler because a tow bar will do.So as usual, you have no fucking clue what you're talking about, but still feel the need to spew shit out of your cpap hole

Next time I'm there I'll take pictures of what's on the various trailers. There's multiple generations of trailer and I wouldn't be surprised if I can find a car hauler that's got traditional axles too.

Bullshit
Triple axles suck for anything.I snapped a spindle off on my work trailer. Triple axles suck for equipment hauling.
Only thing they seem to be good for is killing tires.Triple axles suck for anything.

That’s accurate. I’m seeing more enclosed trailers that look like they have spread tandem torsion axles. That looks cool or something. I guess.They have a certain set of do’s and don’ts. I’m 25k and counting with no issues on my triples. The stupid spread axle trend on tandem axle setups is just as bad.
