Hi
I have been asked to make a motorbike trailer to carry something in the reagon of 200-250kg
When i came to deciding what steel to use either angle or box i realised i needed somewhere to find max weights the steel would carry.
Does anyone know where to go or is there a rule for weights certain metals will carry?
I.e would 40x40x3 angle be enough and what weight would this trailer carry safely, the same with 50x50x3 box, what would that be capable of carrying.
I hope you see what i mean, i dont want to spend more on steel than i need to.
