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.

It can vary according to the configuration of the trailer axles. A straightforward tanndem, with no spread, is permitted 34.000 lbs. on the trailer axles, which would allow the combination to gross out at 66,000 lbs. A 10 ft. spread axle, on the other hand, is allowed to weigh 40,000 on the trailer axles, which would permit the combination to gross 72,000 lbs.

Well, you're limited to 20,000 on the single axle. If you have at least a 35 ft. bridge to the trailer tandems, you can gross 34,000 on the trailer tandems (or 40,000 if you have a 10 ft. spread between the axles). As a rule of thumb, 12,000 is going to be your limit on the steers.
