Long time forum guest here
Trying to design an 8x6 box trailer to build myself with idea of ditching my ute so I can use the trailer on a Pajero - usually for crushed granite, gravel for concreting, rubbish, wood, etc.

was thinking build it to suit 1400 kg atm with single axle mechanical brakes - made from 75x50 rhs. With 2 mm floor and 1.6mm fabricated sides using 25x25mm angle as the framing. Would would like a h frame set up for lengths of timber and steel of course.

Though is it possible to build single axle 2000kg atm trailer? All I can find is tandems in this configuration. If able to do this what axle configuration and a frame size would I go for.
Also have available a set,of mk triton springs and an old 8x6 alloy tray - not a fan of these as end up too high when lifting heave items in and out. I am all ears thanks guys
