    Found this with a lucky search term, the link is below it.
    This is in a magazine article that's got some length to it, so it's further down in this article: https://www.fleetowner.com/news/article/21665240/98-new-model-preview-trailers

    Well, if we apply some crude math based on at least two things, I think you could come up with a reasonable idea.
    1. Cross members on 15" centers. Not 12" like higher rated decks.
    2. 10 ft \ 4 ft = 2.5
    50,000 \ 2.5 = 20,000
    I'd say considering the above information in the magazine that I came up with these figures, and because it's not on a standard on center spread, that the above figure is at least probably close to the amount, since if you apply that and check the picture below, that trailer was in 1998 was only rated for 79,600 total, my math above figuring 48ft / 10ft = 4.8 multiplying the 50,000 time the rounded up 4.8 to 5, making it 1.5 times 50,000 = 75,000‬, that would make that about right. Maybe 25k to 30k if you push it, but without an actual manufacturers specs and considering the wider spread, I wouldn't count close to that 50k you're hoping for.
