what does per axle mean
The axle load of a wheeled vehicle is the total weight felt by the roadway for all wheels connected to a given axle.Viewed another way, it is the fraction of total vehicle weight resting on a given axle.xle load is an important design consideration in the engineering of roadways and railways, as both are designed to tolerate a maximum weight-per-axle (axle load); exceeding the maximum rated axle load will cause damage to the roadway or rail tracks.
