Yes it makes it stronger, but does not increase the load carrying capacity. If you are going to pull it with your f150 you probably need brakes. If you had a REAL truck like mine you would not need brakes. Brakes are only for toy trucks.

Tell that to a DOT officer as your signing your name on the dotted line.

Chit I dunno Zach? Getting a big tank tuesday. That's the reason why?

Guest

What will you be using the tank for and how many gallons is it?

Mike I'm sure some welding and strenghening might work?

gutterdog · Mar 12, 2012

300 gallon!!!

i started with a 5x12 trailer single axle and then i bought bigger equipment and had to sell my trailer to get a 6.5x14 dual axle with brakes. I am now able to carry 6000lbs no problem.

Guest

is that for a buffer tank for the power washer?

The trailer I just bought is rated for 3,000 pounds and I'm not sure that's enough.

+100. You need atleast a dual axle with brakes for that kind of wieght. You will have close to 1800 lbs just in water not including other equipment you will be over a single axle limits.

Go to a mobile home dealer and buy a used axel. They are 6000lb axels. Carry more on one of them than on a dual axel.

Guest

craigslist will be your best friend with this.

There has to be some way to get around this. I cant go over 8 ft lenght. personal preference. I think some welding should help?

No you cant. Look mike it sounds like you need room and a new /used trailer with dual axle and with BRAKES is the best answer. With all that water sloshing around the brakes will help control it better.
