Must be a wording problem. Axles are provided to the RV trailer manufacturer with a maximum load capacity as certified by their manufacturer. The RV trailer manufacturer has the authority to use any load capacity from the top down when certifying the GAWR for their fitment onto the trailer.
In other words, axles provide with 5200# maximum load capacity from their manufacturer are allowed to be derated to 5080# by the RV trailer manufacturer. (Look on the trailer's certification label for GAWR values).
Ok I think I see your thinking now, they are not certifying the axle per say, but the trailer capacity in relationship to the axle(s) used, a gross weight trailer of say 9,500# might use 5,200# axles.
With that sad it does not take away the fact they are 5,200# (axles)this info would be needed for ordering/needing new part(s) (brakes or bearings) for said axle, this is why I said this was false/flawed thinking.
