To pull one's weight

Hi all,

I was wondering the meaning of this phrase, as per my understanding I think it means something like: "to do what one's supposed to do" or "to fulfill others' expectation", but I'm not sure.
Is it commonly used? Would it be understood by any english speaker?
Are there any other phrases to say the same idea?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
