1. By moving the load forward or backward on the trailer
2. By adjusting the air pressure in the tires
Moving the load
The most effective way to adjust the weight between axles is by moving the load forward or backward on the trailer. This can be done by:
* Loading the trailer from the front to the back
* Loading the trailer from the back to the front
* Unloading the trailer from the front or the back
Adjusting the air pressure
Adjusting the air pressure in the tires can also be used to adjust the weight between axles. Increasing the air pressure in the tires on one axle will decrease the weight on that axle, while decreasing the air pressure will increase the weight.
It is important to note that adjusting the weight between axles can affect the handling and stability of the tractor-trailer. If the weight is not properly distributed, the tractor-trailer may be more likely to tip over or jackknife.
For these reasons, it is important to consult with a qualified mechanic before making any adjustments to the weight distribution of a tractor-trailer.
