The registration fee for a truck, truck tractor or farm vehicle weighing more than 3,000 kg is calculated based on the number of axles on the vehicle and the trailer it pulls.
Look at the vehicle and its trailer from the side. Count one axle for each wheel you see (a double wheel counts as a single wheel).
You must also count the steering axle, auxiliary lift axle and removable axleA supplementary axle or combination of axles that can be added to the axles already attached to a motor vehicle or trailer, or be used to temporarily to convert an object which is not essentially a road vehicle into a road vehicle..
A maximum of 6 axles is counted for calculating the registration fee.

If the trailer has 2 or more axles, count a single axle if the distance between the centre points of the outermost axles is less than 1 metre.
If the trailer has 3 axles, count only 2 axles if the distance between the centre points of the outermost axles is 1 m or more but less than 2.4 m.

I want to go a step further and not just provide basic answers but give people all the information they need. It feels great to get off the phone with someone who seems satisfied.
