Axle weight

**Axle weight** refers to the amount of weight or load supported by a single axle of a vehicle. It is a critical measurement in transportation and vehicle design because it affects road safety, vehicle handling, and compliance with legal load limits. Properly distributing axle weight helps prevent excessive wear on roads and bridges, reduces the risk of vehicle damage, and ensures safe operation under various driving conditions. Understanding axle weight is essential for truck drivers, fleet operators, and engineers involved in vehicle maintenance and transportation logistics.
