The super 10 is just an extra axle added with a lift device, usually in front of the group of drives.
Strong arm is a “trailer “ that raises and loweres, adding a axle and extending wheelbase when loaded

so the super 10 axle in front of drives I thought they only get an extra 1000-2000 pounds? about what the axle weighs :-) super tag has the tag axle in back (not strong arm) they are carrying about the same as what I do in a end dump about 18-19 tons there were heards of them this year, I think California changed its bridge law. Strong arms there are a few but the way the axle folds up it gets in the way of loading and usually they do not have the wide long bed its just a high side ten wheeler so a little unstable.
