A spread axle refers to a trailer axle configuration where the axles are positioned further apart than the standard distance. This design enhances weight distribution across the axles, improves stability, and reduces the risk of overloading a single axle. Spread axles are commonly used in flatbed trailers and other heavy-load applications to comply with road weight regulations and improve maneuverability. This configuration can also help prevent tire wear and enhance overall handling.
