What axle is the drive axle on a triaxle?
A tri-axle has two live axles and a lift axle.. if it's located in front of the drive axles, it's known as a pusher... if it's located behind the drive axles, it's known as a tag axle. With a tandem axle setup (which is what tri-axles, quad axles, etc. are, albeit with the addition of dead axles), the driveshaft runs from the transmission output to the power divider. The power divider is a differential which transmits power evenly to both live axles.
What is a tri-axle dump truck?
It's a dump truck with four axles--the steer axle in front and three axles in back. One of them moves up and down via a control in the cab, so the tires aren't on the road if the truck's not loaded. A tri-axle dump truck carries more weight than a one-axle or two-axle truck.
When to lower the axle on a tri-axle dump?
When you're loaded to the point where your weight will exceed your legal weight as a tandem truck. Honestly, you should probably have it lowered any time you're loaded, since a motor carrier officer who sees a tri axle, quad axle, etc. with a raised lift axle is likely to question it... even if you are legal, it's time wasted and another annoyance to deal with. If you mean when after you get loaded, you do it while the vehicle is not in motion - don't lower your lift axle while the vehicle is moving.
