I don't know if it was always this way or not, but like old said, the axles now days are not left with the home but are removed and used over and over. I have an 18' trailer made from an old mobile home frame and I've had the hubs off to re-pack the bearings when I first got it and the bearings in those hubs are definitely NOT something that look like they were only meant for one time use. I've had several 4-ton plus skid steers on it and I'm sure not worried about hurting them.

I do know for a fact that in the early 80's a company called Custom Craft based in south central Missouri used mobile home axles/hubs on special built trailers to haul fiberglass pick-up toppers as far away as Alaska. They did finally switch to 15" wheels and 6-lug hubs so the tires could be balanced and therefore would last a lot longer.
