Does anyone make bike trailers? What have you used for the frame? Have you used multiple axles? I'm thinking sections of aluminum ladder fastened together side by side. Single axle with duals each side or two axles separated a bit apart. That should take some weight from the bike. Theorizing here. If you have done it please share details. Thanks and Be Well, SS.

I've built carts to tow a kayak. This is 2.0 from about 7 years ago. Currently on 3.0, which is stronger, stays located better, and collapses into smaller pieces for better storage inside the boat (necessary as I'm electrifying this particular boat, so I'm losing some storage capacity and adding weight).
Made mine of the shopping cart, using existing trailer frame that i got with the wheels 
Frame can as well be just made of steel tubes, in case of the cart it is already rigid enough and only needs a frame to carry its weight.

I got one of these off ebay and modified to suit. It's not finished yet - next stage is to add some more height with timber rails.
My daughter-in-law picked up a used bike trailer to carry the little one. I looked at it briefly to see how it connected to a bike. It did come with the part that goes on the rear axle. What I don't understand is why there is a pretty stout spring in the trailer part of the hitch and why the part that connects to the bike hitch piece was set at at an odd angle. Looks like it would tend to make the trailer ride a bit askew down the road. Saw this on another kiddie hauling trailer too.
the blue one my wife used for many years she would ride over to the grocery store unhook trailer push thru the store load it up go to the till place every thing on belt push trailer ahead after paying out to the bike hook up and head home that is why i prefer the high mounted draw bar
