Thanks everyone for the input. I decided to go with the 4" channel, and 2x3x3/16 angle. They're going to be 5' long (because the channel comes only in 20' lengths).
According to jon f mn, they should support 10,000 lbs, well within my weight class. I do need the length, this is a specialty trailer, built to fit the Bobcat, and it will only load front first.
Evidently this was originally a rental unit. It has folding sheetmetal ramps that are about 3' long. It is a terrifying ordeal to load this thing without it (feeling like) it's going to turn over! It never has, but I can't imagine turning this loose on the public the way it is designed!
I should have them built in the next week or so, depending on how much time I get to stay on them. I'll try to send some pictures, hopefully with them working well!
Thanks!
