What Are Tandem-Axle Trailers?

An axle is a sturdy beam with one wheel at each end and is an essential component of every trailer. Just like the name suggests, a double-axle trailer is equipped with two sets of axles one right behind the other. This ensures increased stability even when driving at high speeds, as well as more loading capacity for your trailer. With a single-axle car trailer, you can:

  • Haul heavy weights from boxes and construction materials to small vehicles, even over long distances
  • Spread the load of your transported goods more evenly, ensuring a smooth ride every time
  • Save up on costs in the long run due to increased resistance to heavy loads

We stock a large variety of tandem axle utility trailers from leading manufacturers such as Alcom and Cross Alpha, built with performance and long-term resistance in mind.

Steel vs. Aluminum Trailers

When choosing the right material for your trailer, it's important to first consider what you will be using it for. Tandem-axle steel trailers are one of the strongest types of trailers out there, perfect for transporting heavy equipment. The steel frame does get affected by rust and corrosion, so make sure you give your trailer proper maintenance. Aluminum cargo trailers are lighter and more flexible. They use less fuel overall but also have a reduced load capacity. Still, they don't corrode as easily and require little maintenance - simply giving them an acid refresh every few years should be enough.

Open vs. Enclosed Tandem-Axle Trailers

Enclosed trailers offer additional protection against harsh environmental effects and theft due to having a sturdy roof and walls. Still, you might find it harder to maneuver the vehicle in spaces with limited accessibility, and you’ll also need to consider the height of your trailer every time you load it up. Open trailers, on the other hand, are much more lightweight, easy to maneuver, and cost-effective, though they might not be able to handle heavy weights.

FAQs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND RESOURCES

What are the benefits of tandem-axle trailers as opposed to single-axle cargo trailers?

The key differences between the two are weight capacity, stability, and cost. The double axle on a trailer usually provides more stability and allows you to transport larger weights of furniture, boxes, materials, or equipment. Though double axle trailers are on the costlier side, if you’re using your trailer for commercial purposes, you’ll find that the extra upfront cost will be worth it in the long run especially if your hauling demands increase. However, if you're only using your trailer for occasional loads, single-axle trailers will do the job just as well.

What can you use to tow a trailer?

Vehicle weight is the most important deciding factor when looking into towing options for your open trailer. For lightweight trailers, a small car can do the job just fine. However, if you're planning to haul large weights (over 2,000 pounds), then you're better off using a tow-friendly vehicle like a truck or SUV.

How do I maintain a tandem-axle dump trailer?

All trailers require regular cleaning to remove any grime and dirt. Experts also recommend checking the trailer regularly for loose bolts and fastenings and ensuring adequate lubrication of moving parts.

Do tandem-axle trailers come with warranties?

Most of our trailers come with manufacturer warranties that cover defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms can vary, so it's important to check the specific warranty details when purchasing a trailer. You’ll find this information listed in the product description but you can also contact the Speedway Trailers team for more information.
