I am thinking of buying a freezer unit that is 5x9x7 feet. I can conceivably pack 4400 pounds of meat in the thing. It weighs 1350 pounds itself.
Here's a pic:

I am not interested in having mounted in my truck, nor in having to move it everytime I want to use it. I see visions of my expensive freezer taking a tumble off the loader and I'm not going there.
I'm looking to have it mounted on a trailer. I understand about axle capacity and all that. The pictures of the unit on the trailer sure look nice, but wouldn't it be pretty top heavy on that bitty trailer? Would I risk flipping it by taking a corner too fast, running up the curb (not that I ever do that), or even just driving on a windy day?
I have found more than one trailer guy who will mount the thing on a regular tandem axle 6x12 trailer for me. It wouldn't look as clean, but do you all think that would be a smarter move? Am I imagining the flip risk?
Thanks
Jena
