Weight Capacity of HWT 07 Series 15 x 5-Inch Trailer Wheel AM20456
Question:
Hi, it says the wheel capacity is 2,150 lbs? Does that mean that this cannot be used on a tandem axle, 10,000 lb trailer 4 of these wheels with the proper tires? I dont see how that can be, as I see wheels just like this one on huge 2-axle trailers all of the time. Thank you.

Helpful Expert Reply:
The HWT 07 Series 15 x 5-Inch Trailer Wheel # AM20456 carries a maximum load rating of 2150-lbs as you noted. If used with a tire that shares (or exceeds) this capacity the wheel when used in a set of four on a tandem axle trailer will have a combined load capacity of 8600-lbs. You could use these wheels on a 10K trailer but you will not be able to load the trailer to its maximum capacity.
