In these conditions, you won’t experience a lot of bounce or swaying. Not only that, tandem axle trailers allow for more stability with faster highway speeds. This permits the trailer to accept heavier cargo, up to three times what a single axle can manage, which means more carrying and transport capacity. Tandem axle trailer designs include two sets of tires in close proximity to each other to help disperse the weight of the load. Keep in mind that these tires will wear faster than tandem tires due to having to carry more of the weight. They also have simpler structures to maintain due to only having one set of wheels. Cost wise, single axle trailers are lighter and are more inexpensive to tow. Because of their small size, they are more fuel efficient and towing is easy to handle due to a lower weight and easy to adjust towing angles.
