Load distribution

That trailer has only 1 kingpin. Now if it had a flip neck, the flip would be the game changer.

 

@johndeere4020 or @cnsper , can either of you explain the purpose of the jeep?

 

A math problem designed for college students with more knowledge than I?

 

Well there you go. I know nothing about those trailers. Looks to me like it has 2 connections above the drives.

I've got an idea six. Get a good contract and hire a couple of your prodigies off of here and teach us all about it.

 

What's the question?

 

The purpose of the jeep is to help distribute weight onto the drives but to also take a portion of the weight so as too make it a legal triaxle combination on the rear of the truck. So that you can use a regular tandem setup to haul heavier weights but when you don't need it you don't have the additional wear on components that you won't all of the time. The only thing about it that may confuse someone is the fact that it pivots. So how close am I to an actual answer for the previous question?

 

What are you allowed on the drive axle? What is the wheelbase of the trailer (kingpin to center of axle group)?
