A traveling-axle model with a brochure-documented three-axle configuration. Conflicting product-page and brochure lengths, ratings and swing clearances remain visible and are withheld from automatic comparisons.
Loading position and transport position have different axle and deck geometry.
Loading path
Sliding axle / tilting deck
Review the moving running gear, tilting deck and transition to the upper deck using the operating instructions. Confirm the running gear is in its required transport position.
Supporting the load
Tyre diameter, axle count and suspension settings can change height and load distribution. Retain the exact reference when comparing alternatives.
Dimensions that govern this configuration
Usable support space, nominal deck spans and the overall transport envelope remain separate measurements.

Ratings & support conditions
The exact build’s load chart is required. A model-family capacity range does not establish this configuration’s rating.
Tare, gross vehicle rating and structural load ratings describe different limits. None alone establishes allowable payload or legal axle loads.
Plan around the actual load
These applications identify what to investigate. Suitability depends on the transported assembly, support points and the selected trailer build.
Paving & road equipment
Will low-clearance components clear the loading path?
A roller drum or milling machine track can concentrate load into a small section. Review flooring and crossmember support as well as total capacity.
Can the tyres and articulation fit the loading path?
Concentrated wheel loads need deck and crossmember verification. Record the actual tyre contact lines rather than treating the whole machine length as load distribution.

Axle count and loaded deck height use the manufacturer-linked TA brochure (PUB 230C, 0220); verify the actual trailer build before relying on them.

Published options and family ranges do not establish an individual trailer’s equipment.
Equipment selection requires verified weights and ratings, load support, coupling and axle analysis, securement planning and route review. This reference is not engineering, permit or route-clearance approval.
