The access tag is 'maxweightrating' like 'maxweight' or 'maxheight'. In the

there.
the difference is that weight and height are actual weights and heights, while 
the rating is for a maxweight, hence I believe it should be “maxweightrating” 
when it’s about the actual maxweightrating.

Well, this is quite off-topic here, but this interpretation wouldn't be consistent. Let me use the term GVWR to refer to the weight rating of a vehicle to make it easier to read:

OSM Tagging point of view:
The access tag 'maxweightrating' doesn't refer to a specific GVWR, but to all vehicles with a GVWR less than the given number. So, if we use the term 'maxweightrating' to refer to the GVWR, the access tag should be 'maxmaxweightrating', but can't be 'maxweightrating' because that would specify a defined GVWR.

General terminology point of view:
As I understand it, the term 'rating' already refers to the allowed limit. Note that it's called 'gross weight rating', but not 'maximum gross weight rating'.
