6 " SQUARE TUBING vs. 6" channel Building 25' trailer
The idea is strength. outside frame... if a 4" square tubing can handle the same stress as a 6' channel that would be my preference. Logic tells me that might be such but ... I have a 30 foot manufactured car trailer which works great with 6 inch c channel... and some small cross beams. 6" 12 ga. channel with 6 inch jr i beams on 16" centers seems industry standard for trailers which can have a total weight capibility of 16,000 pounds. I would like to get the same ability with 4 inch 11 ga square tubing on 12 inch centers. Any ideas out there for me I really need to know just how much weight this FRAME should be expected to handle... and I am a total doo doo head when it comes to higher math... but I want to learn -- anderson2624 |
