The weight a single axle tractor with a 48-foot trailer can pull typically ranges from 20,000 to 34,000 pounds, depending on the specific tractor model, trailer design, and load distribution. However, regulations often limit the total combined weight of the tractor and trailer to around 80,000 pounds in the U.S., including cargo. It's important to check local regulations and the manufacturer's specifications for precise limits.
Your tractor drive tandems could weigh in at 34,000 lbs, but you could only have 20,000 lbs. on the single axle of the trailer.
For a standard five axel tractor trailer, the max is 80,000 lbs
That would depend on the weight rating of the trailer and bridge law. For a straight truck, five to seven tons.
That depends on the axel trailer.

The weight a single axle trailer can carry typically ranges from 1,500 to 7,000 pounds, depending on the trailer's design, materials, and axle rating. Most commonly, single axle trailers are rated for around 3,500 to 5,000 pounds. It's essential to check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact weight capacity and ensure that the load does not exceed this limit for safe towing. Additionally, consider the weight of the trailer itself when calculating total load capacity.
the common rule is to put it back from center 1" for every foot of trailer length this is so you can have some tongue weight on the trailer.
No, Curtis Axel is not single.
The weights can actually vary by state, and what the vehicle is plated for. The general rule of thumb is 34,000 lbs. on a set of tandems, 20,000 lbs. on a single drive or trailer axle, and the steer axle... 12,000 is generally stated, but it's actually dependent on the weight rating of your tires and how much surface area contacts the road... it is possible for an 80k combination to run up to 20,000 lbs. legally on the steer axle, provided the axle and tires are rated for it - most are not, except on heavy haulers and vocational trucks.

The vin plate on a Boxer, usually on the front panel uncer the bonnet lista a series of numbers, one relates to vehicle kerb weight, one for front axel, one for rear axel and one for train weight. train weight being the maximum combined weight of your van (including the load) and the total weight of the trailer ( again including any load put into the trailer). My last Boxer a 94 plate 270s had a towing limit of 1700kg, but struggled, not checked the curren one a 52 plate 290s. hope this helps.
Legal limits can vary from state to state, but a good general rule is 800 pounds per wheel. Axel weight limits should not exceed 73,280 pounds.
