What gauge materials are you using?

That's what I was wondering, it looks heavy and indestructible but maybe they are using thin wall tubing to cut the weight.

1/4 inch for the receiver tube
Frame is 1/8 inch
Still pretty light can pick up the end no problem

That trailer will be really stout, maybe even approaching overbuilt. I always enjoy seeing modern interpretations of the iconic U.S. military quarter ton trailers.

What's the suspension plan?

2200lb torsion or timber axles haven't decided yet

looks like it will weigh that much unloaded!

Are those 45° welds stronger than the usual?

Could you spec the steel profiles you used in more detail?

Anyone know how to compromise for someone seeking to minimize weight?
