So if you are a welder you should know thinner metal at a weld can fail. NOT from the weld but simply that's a stress point with thin metal as specified bu the trailer mfg. Light n Cheap!!!
So you are saying lightweight frames can’t be made strong ?
NOPE, I am saying too light weight for the application can be a problem.
No idea, I don't design trailer frames . I have built a few utility trailers , I guarantee you they don’t fail , but they are not lightweight . :D And the welds are good .
IMO light doesn’t mean cheap if it’s designed ,and welded correctly . I think that’s where some of these trailers get in trouble poor welding, lack of bracing in some of the critical points .
