Hi all, I have a question about the types of spoke rims used on AMT trailers. I know the most common ones used are 5 spoke, But were any AMT trailers equipped with the old Webb 3 spoke wheels? These were never used on drive axle's, But once in a while they can be seen on a tag axle on a log truck. Here are a couple pictures of what I'm talking about. These pics are from one of are old storage trailers, This trailer is a '68 Gindy 40' with a roll up door. We also have some old chain dump and tanker trailers at work that have the old webb 3 spokes. I always liked them because they're cool looking and they are easier to line up and balance than the 5 or 6 spokes. - Brad

AITM sells them in resin. I have some on a dump trailer and a lowboy. A lot of the old trailers I remember had those wheels.Youll have to email Dave and ask, because there not on the webpage. There in the old catalog from M.T.F.C.O, but Dave has sold them to me before.

In australia we used to have them on lowloader trailers that carried heavy loads as the wedges ( dogs ) covered almost the whole rim .
