To some extent they are all dual axis in that you can adjust the N/S axis to account for latitude a little.

A true dual axis platform allows more sophisticated adjustment in the north/south axis as the platform is tracking to ensure that the image is dead centre. This is often done by way of an autoguider set-up and associated with large aperture instruments mainly because of the relative costs involved in the electronics.
