Two-axle trailer
Two-axle trailers have two axles, each axle having two wheels. These trailers usually have a lower load carrying capacity than three-axle trailers and are more suitable for carrying lighter loads. Two-axle trailers are also cheaper than three-axle trailers.
Advantages of two axes
- Cheaper price
- Less carrying capacity
- Better maneuverability
Disadvantages of two axes
- Less carrying capacity
- Less stability
- More fuel consumption
Three-axle trailer
Three-axle trailers have three axles, each axle having two wheels. These trolleys have a higher load carrying capacity than two-axle trolleys and are more suitable for carrying heavier loads. Three-axle trailers are also more expensive than two-axle trailers.
Advantages of three axes
- More cargo capacity
- More stability
- Less fuel consumption
Disadvantages of three axes
- More expensive price
- Less maneuverability
Which trailer is right for you?
Choosing the right trailer depends on various factors, including the type of cargo, the distance of the cargo and your budget. If your load is light and you need high maneuverability, two axles is the right option for you. If your load is heavy and you need stability and less fuel consumption, three axles is the right option for you.
Here is a summary of the differences between two-axle and three-axle trailers:
| Property | Two-axle trailer | Three-axle trailer |
|---|---|---|
| The number of axes | two | Three |
| The number of wheels | four | six |
| Load carrying capacity | fewer | More |
| maneuverability | Better | Worse |
| sustainability | fewer | More |
| Fuel consumption | More | fewer |
| Price | cheaper | more expensive |
