Default Trailer Gross Weight

Ok, so I looked at the tag on the axle of the trailer and it says it is a 6000lb Tie Down Eng torsion axle. Tandem axle trailer. But the decal on the trailer says only 8600lb gvw. Weight of trailer is apprx 1400 lbs. 8600 + 1400 is 10,000 lbs. Why such a difference? (2000 lbs)

Rating sticker is indicating 5200lb axles. 6000lbs must have been used instead
