17.5 in tyres / three-axle option
A sliding-axle equipment platform whose running gear moves for loading. Tyre-dependent loaded deck heights are kept as separate references.
Loading position and transport position have different axle and deck geometry.
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.
Tyre diameter, axle count and suspension settings can change height and load distribution. Retain the exact reference when comparing alternatives.
Compare the changes in height, coupling or extension state before switching references.
Usable support space, nominal deck spans and the overall transport envelope remain separate measurements.
Documented spans Shared numeric scale
Spans compare documented values. They are not positioned or scaled to the photograph.

Tare, gross vehicle rating and structural load ratings describe different limits. None alone establishes allowable payload or legal axle loads.
These applications identify what to investigate. Suitability depends on the transported assembly, support points and the selected trailer build.
Concentrated wheel loads need deck and crossmember verification. Record the actual tyre contact lines rather than treating the whole machine length as load distribution.
Short wheel contact areas create concentrated deck loading. Record axle reactions where available and keep the load basis explicit.
Confirm support locations for implements; a long folded assembly may sit on only a few small feet or wheels.
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.
