2. Federal Bridge Gross Weight Formula - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bridge_Gross...

   It was the only way tank truck operators could reach 80,000 pounds without adding axles to their fleets of trailers already in operation. [ 26 ] A CMV may exceed the bridge formula limits (or gross weight and its axle weight limits) by up to 550 pounds (249 kg) if the vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary power unit (APU) or idle reduction ...

3. Wheel sizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_sizing

   This number will vary depending on the number of lugs, the PCD, the material used and the type of axle the wheel is used on. A wheel used on a free rolling trailer axle will carry more weight than that same wheel used on the drive or steering axle of a vehicle. All wheels will have the load capacity stamped on the back of the wheel.

4. Chassis configuration - Wikipedia

   This can give information about the distribution of axles. For example, provide manufacturers the chassis configuration 8×4×4 to show that the vehicle has two steered front axles and two driven rear axles, compared to the chassis configuration 8×4/4 where the vehicle has one steered front axle, one steered rear axle (the fore axle) and two ...

7. Axle load - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle_load

   The axle load of a wheeled vehicle is the total weight bearing on the roadway for all wheels connected to a given axle.Axle 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 railway tracks.
