I pull my Harley FLHTC around on a trailer very similar to that one. Mine was a kit from Harbor Freight, 1720lb capacity. Great little trailer. I painted mine black and silver. People trash talk those trailers that don't actually own them. The wheel bearings are tapered roller bearings and last a lifetime if lubed occasionally.
That's where mine came from. My neighbor, a very handy/talented gentleman, bought the kit from HF. He put bigger wheels on and made a number of other upgrades as well as framing the sides and tail gate. He used .75" ply for the deck topped with .5" rubber matt. My trailer is rated for 1595# and the 13" tires are rated for 1360#. He tightened every screw and bolt along with repacking the wheel bearings before handing it over and the spare has yet to touch pavement (the other two look like new and are only 2 years old).
