The WABCO 3200 was a rare example of a tri-axle haul truck configuration A medium sized haul truck, the 214-short-ton (194 t; 191-long-ton) Caterpillar 789 [1]. Most haul trucks have a two-axle design, but two well-known models from the 1970s, the 350T Terex Titan and 235T WABCO 3200/B, had three axles.
A tandem axle is defined as two or more consecutive axles whose centers are spaced more than 40 inches (102 cm) but not more than 96 inches (244 cm) apart. [10] Axles spaced less than 40 inches (102 cm) apart are considered a single axle. [11] In effect, the formula reduces the legal weight limit for shorter trucks with fewer axles (see table below
Tri-axle grouping 20.0 t (19.7 long tons; 22.0 short tons) Therefore, A B-double (single axle steering, tandem drive, and two tri-axle groups) would have an operational weight of 62.5 t (61.5 long tons; 68.9 short tons). A double road train (single axle steering, tandem drive, tri-axle, tandem, tri-axle) would have an operational weight of 79 t ...
The Fortescue railway uses 68 kilograms per metre (140 lb/yd) rail on concrete sleepers and has a maximum axle load of 40 t (39 long tons; 44 short tons), which as of 2008 was the highest axle load of any railway in the world. [1] In 2011, it was proposed to increase the axle load of the railway to 42 tonnes (41 long tons; 46 short tons).
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 ...

The Terex 33-19 "Titan" was a prototype off-highway, ultra class, rigid frame, three-axle, diesel/AC electric powertrain haul truck designed by the Terex Division of General Motors and assembled at General Motors Diesel Division's London, ON, Canada assembly plant in 1973. Only one 33-19 was ever produced and it was the largest, highest ...
The legal weight limits will vary by jurisdiction but, for example, in the southern states of the US, they range from 80,000 to 88,000 pounds (36,300 to 39,900 kg)—about 40 short tons (35.7 long tons; 36.3 t). [8] To load the logs, the truck may be fitted with one or more winches or cranes. The logs are commonly unloaded by letting them roll ...
