What does "Axle Weight" refer to?

The weight transferred by one axle of the vehicle
The weight limit for the entire vehicle
The combined weight of all axles on the vehicle
The standard weight of a typical axle

The correct answer is: The weight transferred by one axle of the vehicle

Axle weight refers to the weight that is transferred by one axle of a vehicle. This is an important measurement to ensure that each axle is not bearing more weight than it is designed to handle, which can prevent issues such as damage to the vehicle or unsafe driving conditions. The other options are not correct because axle weight specifically refers to the weight carried by each individual axle, not the total weight of the vehicle or the standard weight of an axle.
