Spanish term or phrase: Vagonetas Tandem
Dear all,

The full sentence is "Vagonetas Tandem de 12 metros cúbicos."

It is part of a list of construction machinery. The following items are also on the list.

Cargadores de obras civiles de ruedas con valde y uñas de carga

Motoniveladoras 145 HP, con hojas de 5 metros de ancho y con Reeper

Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Eski, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I was liking "tandem truck" or "tandem axle truck", but I needed some confirmation as it is not a term I have come across before. Thanks a lot for your help!

agree  Claudia Luque Bedregal: you beat me by 1 minute :) I totally agree with you and also with your note about "tandem dump truck". I did't include the word "dump" in my answer because the context seems general, like you pointed out
