Top answer
A vertical load is a weight that is directly above (or below, I guess) a supporting structure. I suppose that horizontal loads also occur, as for instance the lead sinker at the end of a fishing pole, or as with a cantilevered weight, but the physics are such that a horizontal load is avoided if possible.
