I would compare other trailers' construction. I have an 18' made with 6 inch channel frame, tandem axle,and usually haul WC, WD45, etc, and it is built to carry more. I think the 4 inch H beam is too light, depending on length, 6 inch would make a lot of difference. Angle iron you mention would make good cross members, but the main frame is more important, as well as axle placement.You don't mention web thickness-that has a major impact on capacity. Reminds me of buying gates that are 'heavy duty' but the seller can not tell me what gauge pipe is used. OD doesn't mean squat if it is paper thin material.
