    The difference is that on a west coast trailer the axles are on a beam that pivots at the back of the trailer (Walking beam or coffin box)

    The booster attaches to the axle beam but not the trailer body

    on an east coast The axles are attached to the trailer and the booster is pinned to the back of the main trailer frame.

    Interesting. That east coast trailer looks very similar to what we use out here in western Canada.

    We have a handful of these that get a lot of use. They are tough and can stand up to heavy use. These require a ton of shims as well. Lol
