Are you not considering Aluminum Diamond Plate?
That's not heavy at all.

The frame of the trailer is steel. Won't this cause some difficulties in the welding process.

<-- not a welder but I'm guessing so. I didn't catch that "steel" part.

Yea, the trailer is existing and is a steel frame with wood floor.

If I could get the information on it I could calculate if it could hold the distributed weight. The bad thing about metal is the weight and the sagging.

My dad's trailer is all steel, and we have hauled some pretty heavy shit on it and haven't had any problems with sagging. When we moved from one shop to another we had his Bridgeport mill and 18x60 lathe on the trailer together and didn't have any problems.

Yeah, I talked to Sean and he said, while possible, it would be way to expensive and not as strong.
