most of europe give benefits for individual axles.
lowest you can go with pendel is 790mm with 245/70r17.5 wheels, this is bottom end, driving height is mostly 850mm. for weight yes, it is not lightest, at least 4400lbs for one axle and its piece of frame.
there are other alternative choices, you can get independent suspension as you have in car, there are double wishbone suspensions. it is always problem with them and camber, they require more maintanance, but are very light.
lightest of all trailer axle systems is this onescopic , law see it as separate axles so you get 12t in europe.
Oxbow Thanks this. -
recently someone posted video of american heavy haulage truck that had steering failure on trailer and end up outside of road, they had to some very difficult wrecking to get it out. with pendel you wont sit with belly on roaddaf105paccar and Oxbow Thank this. -
most will use 235/75 17.5 or 245/70 17.5, they hold weight good but wont be happy with your 100+kmh speeds
how about hydraulic trailer neck? we start to use them when it get serious, otherwise no traction.
as for low deck trailer, lower you go it will be heavier or weaker.
lowest we ever sold was 8inch, but it was single, non extendable deck, about 30ft long for forest equipment.daf105paccar and Oxbow Thank this. -
my favorite african koleka 173t on 7axles, first two trailer axles were particularly heavy
