A tandem axle box trailer is a heavy-duty trailer designed with two axles and four wheels, offering increased load capacity, improved stability, and better shock absorption over rough terrain.

Compared to single axle trailers, tandem box trailers are ideal for commercial, industrial, or frequent use where durability and strength are essential.


✅ Key Features of Tandem Axle Box Trailers

  • Two Axles for Maximum Load Support
    Spread the weight more evenly, reducing pressure on each wheel.
  • Superior Stability on the Road
    Handles bumps, curves, and braking more smoothly—ideal for highways and unsealed roads.
  • Heavy-Duty Suspension Systems
    Includes eye-to-eye springs, rocker roller suspension, or slipper suspension for tough jobs.
  • Reinforced Box Body Design
    With higher walls and thicker steel panels, ready to handle bulky or dense cargo.
  • Brakes Included (Optional Electric or Hydraulic)
    Required for trailers over 750kg ATM—ensuring safety when loaded.
