A tri-axle has two live axles and a lift axle.. if it's located in front of the drive axles, it's known as a pusher... if it's located behind the drive axles, it's known as a tag axle.
With a tandem axle setup (which is what tri-axles, quad axles, etc. are, albeit with the addition of dead axles), the driveshaft runs from the transmission output to the power divider. The power divider is a differential which transmits power evenly to both live axles.

How do you convert tandem loads to triaxle loads?
To convert tandem loads to triaxle loads, you need to assess the total weight supported by the tandem axles and then distribute that weight across the three axles of the triaxle configuration. Generally, a triaxle can support more weight due to its additional axle, allowing for better weight distribution and reduced stress on each axle. You may also need to refer to specific load distribution guidelines or regulations applicable to your region, as they can vary. Overall, the conversion involves ensuring that the total load does not exceed the legal limits for triaxles.

What is the weight limit of a triaxle chassis?
The weight limit of a triaxle chassis typically varies based on the specific regulations of the jurisdiction, but it is generally around 60,000 to 70,000 pounds for the entire vehicle. Each axle is usually limited to a maximum of 20,000 pounds, but this can also depend on state or federal laws. It's important to consult local regulations for precise limits as they can differ significantly.

How do you measure the wheelbase for a semi truck?
Wheelbase on heavy 3 axle trucks is measured from the center of the steer axle (1st axle) to the trunnion, or the midpoint BETWEEN the 2 drive axles (axles 2 and 3), not to the center of the rear drive axle (axle 3). Axle to axle is only used on 2 axle trucks. Note: be careful using wheelbase to calculate bridge laws, which can use 1st axle to 3rd axle measurements in its calculation depending on the state/province.

What is the difference between a 6by4 tractor unit and a6by2 tractor unit?
A 6x4 tractor has three axles (one steer axle and two drive axles). In normal operations, only one drive axle is engaged, but the second axle can be engaged as well using a differential lock. 6x2 tractors are more common in Europe, Asia, Northern Africa, etc. They will have a steer axle, and a single drive axle. They will also have an additional axle next to the drive axle, which cannot be engaged to drive the vehicle. Often, this will be a lifting 'tag' axle, which in Europe would usually have one tire on either side, while some of Schneider National's Freightliner Argosy tractors in the US and Canada have a lifting rear axle with two tires per side to allow the same weight rating as if it were a drive axle.
