Jeff,

In my recent trailer research and from what I gather around the site Dexter is the name to go with. Everyone has them.

There is an option called easy lube on those axles which is a zerk on the axle for greasing the bearings. I WISH I had that on my current equipment trailer, for I would have greased those bearings atleast once since I bought it. I may be referring to this post in the near future...

It seems that once you get to a 5 ton gross trailer everyone puts 6000 lb axles on them. That is the minimum size I would go with.

If you really want to jazz up your trailer how about a pair of 6' ALUMINUM ramps that weigh 95lbs COMBINED and can support 8000 lbs. I bet your (employees) back would appreciate that.
