Trailer weight questions

Ask your safety guy for sure.

They had it posted at certain terminals, but it all depends on the trailer manufacturer.

 

Dressed-out axle weighs maybe/around 2,000 lbs (axle, susp, brakes, wheels, and tires); for my all-aluminum flatbed weight changes approx. 100 lbs per foot of length. As has been mentioned, weights between builders may be quite a few pounds difference as can construction/specification variables.

Call a trailer builder or a dealer and ask? Might could at least get a ballpark figure.

 

I have the weights of conway equipment, contact your own shop and ask the shop manager.

 

There are way too many variable to answer this properly---from fully insulated ice cream reefers to totally bare boned uninsulated freight dry boxes--duals--super singles etc etc etc---Now if you could provide more insight into what u are or will be pulling we might be able to give you some better answers--but just for a little insight--my truck and trailer m't--1/4 tank of fuel is right at 36k--my line haul neighbor(next farm)truck and set of uninsulated pups--full of fuel 22k m/t---See what I mean?

 

Heavier and longer always goes in the front..... especially the heavier.
