48,000 lbs of payload, or 48,000 lbs gross weight (vehicle + payload)?

For 48,000 lbs. of payload, some five axle combinations can haul that legally, although that is cutting it a bit close. We're talking a fairly short wheelbase tractor, and aluminum flatbed with ten foot spread axle (spread axles can have a total of 40,000 lbs, vs. 34,000 lbs for tandem axles). If it pushes your total vehicle weight over 80,000 lbs, then you'll need an oversize permit, even with a five axle setup.

As for 48,000 gross vehicle weight, any tandem axle straight truck would do.

Front to back... unlike open deck trailers (flatbeds, RGNs, etc), van trailers typically have sliding tandems to balance out the load and adjust load distribution over the trailer and drive axles. Anything more specific, and we'd need to have an idea of what the commodity is.

How many tons does a ten wheeler hold?

tons a 10 wheeler will hold depends on the configuration of the truck. a lot has to do with the distance of the axles from each other. when loading a truck to get correct weight the load is distributed to get proper weight over axles. but benerally a 10 wheeler is only tagged to gross 54 ooo pounds. so with that you need to subtract the weight of the empty truck to find out what the actual payload will be

How do you convert tandem loads to triaxle loads?

To convert tandem loads to triaxle loads, you need to assess the total weight supported by the tandem axles and then distribute that weight across the three axles of the triaxle configuration. Generally, a triaxle can support more weight due to its additional axle, allowing for better weight distribution and reduced stress on each axle. You may also need to refer to specific load distribution guidelines or regulations applicable to your region, as they can vary. Overall, the conversion involves ensuring that the total load does not exceed the legal limits for triaxles.
