There were 5 different AC trailer models:
6ton & 9ton DBW(deck between wheels). The 6ton had two axles & the 9ton had three axles.
6ton, 9ton, & 12ton DOW(deck over wheels). Same axle configuration as above, plus 12ton had four axles.
The one in the craigslist photo above would be a model 9TDOW.
All 5 models were 21'-6" in length, with 16'-6" deck length, except 17'-0" deck on 12ton.
The DOW width was fully 96". The DBW width was 78" between wheels & 96" elsewhere.
Their 5 spoke hub 12 ply 14.5"x8" wheels allowed 5 Deck heights of 24", 31", 24", 31", & 34", respectfully.
Empty weights(lbs) for 5 trailers were;
3200, 3400, 3400, 3600, & 5000, respectfully.
They all had 3 adjustable height position Pintle style hitches.

Here's a 9 ton trailer that is listed for sale right now in Ontario. It looks to be in very good shape and not a bad price.

Some of the heavier AC trailers had 2 axles side by side, instead of duals. It was a terrible idea! Years ago, I had a trailer with a similar axle setup. I swore I would never own another trailer like that again.

There were some gooseneck trailers like that out here if I am understanding. The axle is about a foot between with a hub on each end.

Heres a YouTube 19+ minutes video link of Allis-Chalmers "Big Job" about the Garrison Dam in ND. Anyway at about its 8 & half minutes left, you'll see one of the trailer styles that have its axles side by side. It's hauling a dozer to the maintenance shop. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dx8wa7JLHbs

ANY additional info would be greatly appreciated. I apparently have a 9t DBW trailer. Bought it as homemade. Just stumbled upon this am excited to bring it back to as original as possible. Thanks for any help. It does not have anything to I'd it. Can take pics later this week but definitely fits the description given and pic above

You forgot about the Terra Tiger trailer. And I think there were two small trailers that I've seen pictures of or see myself. I know one had a small vertical lip across the front and two friction plates where the wheel would drive on.
