Hi

Our 3665RE has a gross vehicle weight rating of 15,905 lbs. The axels have a gross axel rating of 6,750 lbs.

We had the unit on a truck frame machine last month and found the axels are doing ok. The brakes are quite lacking and if the axel manufacturer had a disk break option for these axels I would install it. Unfortunately they don’t.

The heaviest I have weighed at is trailer only 15,020 with and axel weight of 5,340 lbs each and the landing gear or front legs weighed 4380. (This is not a pin weight). The pin is located several feet in front of the landing gear. So when hooked to the truck the axel weight goes up to 6,020 lbs. each. This leaves me with a 730 lb. margin for each axel.
