Tandem axle weight refers to the total weight that is distributed across two axles on a vehicle, such as trucks or trailers. This measurement is crucial for maintaining proper load distribution and ensuring that the vehicle adheres to legal weight limits for safe operation on roads. Overloading a tandem axle can lead to increased wear on tires, suspension issues, and potential safety hazards. It is typically measured using scales specifically designed for weighing vehicles.
Front axle 12,000, Front tandem 34,000, Rear tandem 34,000 unless it is a spread axle trailer; then it is 40,000 for the two rear axles combined. Total weight not to exceed 80,000 lbs.
40,680 lbs.
Tandem by definition is two. So tandem axle is two axles. Example would be a tractor trailer having two axles next to each other is a tandem axle.

20,000 - 25,000 lbs, depending on specifics.
Need to know the specific model and configuration (e.g., single axle, tandem, tri-axle, quad axle, centipede) in order to answer this.
Legally, a tandem axle is typically good for 15 tons, give or take.

The amount of weight they'll carry on those axles dictates whether or not they need single or tandem axles.
