Single or double axle?

Hi David,

Once again thank you for answering my previous questions so promptly. I was involved in a serious accident in Feb 09 and have spend quite a long time in hospital, so had to delay starting up the catering business until now.

I was wondering if there were any advantages/disadvantages to having a double axle on a 10' x 6' trailer? I ended up getting a complete shoulder transplant, so am not as strong as I once was.

I guess a double axle would be heavier to shunt about by hand. There must be some reason why people spend the extra money on them?
Best wishes, Frank
