Assuming tires are good, (or you have some to put on), brakes and lights work, I would get some 2X4s and Heavy Duty tiedown straps. Build a frame inside to keep it from collapsing when you wrap it with straps and ratchet them down tight.
Tire are good.
bearings are good.
Brakes are good.
Lights work.
Would you only brace the bad area, or would you brace everything? I know one area, about the last 10 feet of the box is the bad area. The rest is not so bad.
If it is weak in 1 area I would run 2X4 (on edge) across as close as possible to ceiling. From there a couple of verticals up from above the frame. Add a diagonal or 2. Then run strap frame, over top, and back to frame on other side.
Note; I have hauled a lot of things, and from here it looks like this would secure it to haul. But often when on site plans must change.
