I have a 5x8 dump trailer with 24 inch sides. It has a monarch pump. I don't know what kind of a trailer it is and I don't know how to research it. I cannot find any numbers on the trailer. It may have been painted. I think it has a 5000 pound axle. would anyone know how I might research the manufacturer?

If factory built it had a label on it probably around front end. Look on frame.
If painted over you probably can carefully remove paint off enough to read it. But do you have a title or bill of sale on it?

Not perfect by any means but a 3500 lb axle will sometimes have 5 lugs and 5k have 6 lugs. 7K having 8 lugs. The lug bolt pattern circle gets correspondingly larger also.
As another poster mentioned check load rating on tires and inflation pressures though also!
Post a pic or two especially showing the rear tailgate as manufacturers seem to use different methods to mount them.
Maybe someone can identify it.

Look on your title , it will state the manufacturer
