My trailer has a limit of c.220kg (it's in lbs on the sticker, I can't remember the exact figure and it's too dark, wet and cold to look!) but for next season I'm thinking of attaching some bikes to the trailer somehow - I have a bike rack that fits whilst towing, but because the trailer has quite a small A frame, you can only really fit one bike on - I guess it would work better with a caravan.
This would most likely take it over the load limit of the trailer (the car is ok for 750kg un-braked) , so I wondered what needs to be done to increase it? The trailer is sufficiently old that it isn't properly plated, it just has one of those stickers people used to the numbers on - each digit is a separate sticker even. So, would it just be a case of getting 350kg mounting plates welded on (it seems 250kg suspension is 4 bolts and 350kg is 6) and then replacing the suspension?
Any advice much appreciated.
