Meanings
-
the total weight, including load carried, transferred by one axle and its wheels to a road or railway surface. This is especially important in relation to what weight road and railway structures can carry, bridges in particular.
To keep the axle load within a 28-ton maximum, two eight-wheel bogies are employed, all axles of which are motorised.
