    Wilson says mine weigh 10,700 without boxes. Ive never weighed just the trailers. t might depend on the steel they use for the main beams. A high strength steel might be thinner therefore lighter. Or yours might be heavy duty

    I pulled a Great Dane combo 53 foot step. Had a sliding rear axle. Was 12000 or 12500. It had two side boxes. 53 combos are heavy. I could only scale 45700 lbs and be legal. Was easier to go around the scales than be legal.

    The frame rails are pretty thin on my Wilson’s compared to some of my other trailers. I think I read the steel is 100 KSi
