Utility trailer that is 5' X 8' ft The axle is 59 inches from the front of the trailer not the coupler You want to extend the back of the trailer 10 inches Would this be safe to do and pull a load?
On a 5' X 8' Utility Trailer you would want a 60% / 40% axle weight distribution for optimum towing/tracking of trailer. A design of 96 total inches in length would produce a 54" length from the front of the trailer to axle center. Adding an additional 10 inches to the rear of the trailer would then produce a optimum 63" length from the front of the trailer. Extending this trailer by 10 inches would fall into a safe range as long as you take into consideration the weight distribution of the load.
What does single axle truck and single axle trailer weigh?
What type of truck and trailer? For all I know, you could be talking about a Ford F650 and a single axle utility trailer. If you're referring to Class 8 vehicles, something like a single axle tractor towing a single axle trailer would be allowed an interstate GVW of 52,000 lbs.
How much weight can a single axle utility 6 x 10 trailer carry?

How much weight can a single axle utility trailer carry?
That depends on the axle configuration. If it a closed tandem typically 17,000. If it is a spread axle 20,000. If it is a single axle (Front of a Semi) typically 12,000. Those would be the "legal weights", but states allow different amounts of weights with a permit for over weight. That all depends on the state. Wisconsin will allow 23,000 per axle.
How much can a tandem axle utility trailer carry?
The definitive answer is...it depends. Very few trailers are made with axels of 2000lb (or less) capacity. Most are 2500 to 5000 llbs (per axle). So if you have a dual axle trailer with two 3500 lb axles you can haul 7000 lbs MINUS what the trailer weighs. I have a single axle 6X12 with a single 3500 lb axle. The trailer weighs approx 500 lbs, so I would feel relatively safe hauling a 3000 lb load.

How long of an axle do you need when making a 5 foot utility trailer?
Five foot wide? A six foot six axle measured hub face to hub face is about right. BUT What you need are 4 foot 10 inch ish spring pads. I allways call my axle supplier and ask them what they can build me. A new axle for my 4 foot wide quad/Golf cart/toy trailer cost about $180. Standens axle Calagary Alberta big thumbs up!
