Fyraxlade

Fyraxlade is a Swedish term that translates to "four-axled" in English. It is most commonly used in the context of vehicles, particularly trains and trucks, to describe those with four axles. In railway terminology, a fyraxlade locomotive or wagon is one that has four axles in total, typically arranged in two bogies, each with two axles. This configuration provides greater load-bearing capacity and stability compared to vehicles with fewer axles. Similarly, for heavy-duty trucks, a fyraxlade chassis refers to a vehicle designed with four axles to distribute a heavier gross vehicle weight. This is often seen in specialized transport, construction, or agricultural vehicles where substantial loads need to be carried. The term emphasizes the structural characteristic of having four points of load distribution, contributing to the vehicle's overall capability and handling.
