typical weight of a wheel
Aluminum and steel stub axle assemblies are much lighter than standard rail assemblies and can weigh between 11 to 20 pounds. The average load capacity of such stub axles is 2,500 pounds. Standard wheel assemblies made of steel and ductile alloy can weigh between 235 to 480 pounds. The lighter-weight assemblies have an average load capacity of 10,000 pounds, while the heavier assemblies have an average capacity of 40,000 pounds. The weight of the assembly depends on the type of wheel being used.
