Looking at the DAF configurator, the heaviest GVW on a 16ton truck is 28ton.
Although all the above posts recognise that a two axle truck, can be coupled to a multi axle trailer, the OP specified, and repeated its actually a 16t truck he runs, and it will be limited in engine size. Thatll likely be the limit in GVW in his case, not axle weights.

EDIT. Read GTW where I`ve put GVW, sorry.
Yep, basically this it will be whatever the GTW is on the biggest engined 16 tonner any manufacturer produces.
If access is an issue you’d be much better off just getting a shorter 26 ton prime mover.
Depending on…lots of things… that might be a good solution, but if the 2.1m (?) width is a must for the OP?
Since he seems to be looking at a trailer as an option, and the extra cost, weight, of a bigger class of vehicle may rule it out? If carrying lighter, bulkier goods a full 44ton rig would be the proverbial sledgehammer/nut scenario.

^ This ‘drawbar spec’ also means the right engine for the GTW.Not the Prime Mover’s GVW.( Unless you want a very quick 16 tonner ). 
In this case around 380 should be enough to get the job done ?.Often extending a tractor unit being a more practical solution.
A 16litre Volvo mill in a 16ton chassis? That sounds fun!
Downrate an 18 ton prime mover to 16 ton then hang a dangler on the back if he really must have a 16 tonner. Is width relevant?

DAF CF and MX11 would do fine in this case.
