Trailer Wheel load rating
The back of my trailer wheels have two "max load" ratings listed. I believe one was 2150 lbs and the other was 2840 lbs. There was no other explanation on the wheel to indicate why there were two load...

So your original question really wasn't your question, since you appear to have already known why there was two numbers.
The real question is how your wheels could be mounted in a dual config?
I guess we have more or less confirmed at this point the two ratings have to do with dual vs single mount.
I simply made a statement that find it a little odd that is the answer since I don't know any way to dual mount this wheel type without some type of adapter that I have never heard of. I don't need to know the answer on how to dual mount, just made a comment.
The TIRE has TWO Load Ratings because the TIRE CAN be used in 'single' or 'dual' application.
BUT it would NOT be used in a Dual Application on YOUR trailer so NO adapters to be used.
