Frame and axles The axles are mostly collinear, that is, there are two left and right axles on one axis, also called two axle rows. Common monocoque trailers have 2 to 7 axes. One wheel axle is equipped with 4 tires, and one axis has 8 tires. Therefore, the width of the whole car can reach more than 3 meters. In order to reduce the center of gravity of the whole vehicle, a steel wire radial wide rim tire with a small diameter and a large load capacity is generally installed. Each tire can withstand a load of about 4 tons under low-speed operating conditions. The frame adopts a welded structure of high-strength alloy steel box section. Usually a single 5-axle, two-axle flatbed trailer can carry more than 100 tons.
