In effect, the formula reduces the legal weight limit for shorter trucks with fewer axles (see table below). For example, a 25-foot (7.6 m) three-axle dump truck would have a gross weight limit of 54,500 pounds (24,700 kg), instead of 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg), which is the standard weight limit for 63-foot (19.2 m) five-axle tractor-trailer.

KMB's 10.6m Trident 3 (ATS96) with Alexander ALX500 body. KMB's Trident 3 with Alexander ALX500 body. Dennis Trident 3 (the 3 meaning 3-axle) [note 1] (marketed as 3-axle Dennis Trident), is the first low floor tri-axle double-decker bus chassis built by Dennis in the United Kingdom, with a large number purchased by bus companies in Hong Kong, Singapore, the United States and Canada.
The first of the intercity version appeared in 2008, the two-axle low-entry version in 2009 and both coach versions in 2010. The tri-axle low-entry version may have been abandoned. The models that the Lion's Chassis was set to replace weren't discontinued until the end of 2013. [2]
The Twin Y air suspension has trailing arms that fork to the rear and attach to both the top and bottom of the axle. There is an air bag behind the axle on each side and each axle is sprung individually. They are rated at 40,000 pounds (18,000 kg). [12] Walking beams have low bogie pivots with a balance beam going out and under the axles. Any ...
Volvo B13R is a 12.8-litre engined coach chassis available as both two- and tri-axle from Volvo since 2009. It was the first of the Volvo BXXR series, replacing the higher output configurations of the B12B. [1] It was later joined by the B11R, which has the same base chassis but a smaller engine.
Concessional weight limits, which increase allowable weight to accredited operators [52] can see (for example) a quad weighing up to 149 t (147 long tons; 164 short tons). If a tri-drive prime mover is utilised, along with tri-axle dollies, weights can reach nearly 170 t (167 long tons; 187 short tons).
To accommodate for the hood design, the T600 chassis uses a set-back front axle (a first for a Kenworth conventional). Along with a smaller turning radius (nearly 25% less than a standard conventional [ 4 ] [ 7 ] ), the configuration allowed for designers to add longer front springs to the suspension, improving weight distribution and ride.
A multi-axle bus is a bus or coach that has more than the conventional two axles (known as a twin-axle bus), usually three (known as a tri-axle bus), or more rarely, four (known as a quad-axle bus). Extra axles are usually added for legal axle load restriction reasons, or to accommodate different vehicle designs such as articulation, or rarely ...
