Built this whole trailer with .023" wire! Worked surprisingly well after the first few welds, so I stuck with it.

The axles are rated for 5200# each and the tires are load range E. With the construction of the trailer, I'm sure it can haul all of 10,000# without winking, but I'm not mechanical engineer, so that's just a guess. Fenders this winter. I had a deadline to meet, so they became optional at the time of building. Can't just buy them and put them on, I need to be able to drive over them!
