I am in the market for a grain truck and it seems within my budget i can only find single axles that are in decent condition. I do want a live tandem but i am running out of time looking with my budget this year. I did locate a decent single axle and it has an air lift axle in front of the rear axle. I think the trucks GVW is just under 30k on the factory sticker. Does the addition of the air lift increase the legal weight of the truck, and does it compensate the frame and front axle when its fully loaded? Looks like this truck could hold 400 or a bit more bushels fully loaded. I think if i run the truck and like it i could probably find a tandem set and heavier front axle in the future for it, but i want to be not only legal, but safe now.

Get just over 12 ton of wheat on so not a massive load, at 55k on private roads

12 tonne (payload) trailer, tandem axle(?) is going to have an axle load of approx. kg ..... But check the values on the manufacturer's plate to be sure .... they'll be stated there. Normal 420 x 180 mm 'commercial' brakes will be too big for this size of trailer ..... they won't work hard enough & will glaze up. Best option is probably 406 x 120 mm, but still with 'S'-type operating cams (like the larger commercial axles) for good brake control.

What size of tyres are you going to fit? Are you likely to fit wider (and taller) flotations in the future? If so, allow for that now.

Best Bet: As Quattro has said, get in touch with ADR UK / Tyremart Agricultural at Long Bennington. Tell them what you want to do (how fast, what tyres), send the data from your trailer's plate & they'll be able to calculate & recommend the right axle, brake & suspension setup and supply it as a complete unit to be welded onto your chassis. It won't be cheap, but it will be a pukka, verified solution avoiding all the potential pitfalls ........ which may be handy next time you're travelling at ~55k
