This is the layout of the platform, 6' wide 8 ' long suported across the center of the 8'...
The platform is 6'wide and 8'long supported in the center and made of 2x1 1/2 rectangle tube 3/16 thich
I wanted to extend it 1 foot each length to 10 ' long . Was going to use the rect tubing for the extensions but didn't know the load capabities. Where could I get the formula to understand...
Can anyone give me a hand with this? My background is eletronics not structural. Trying to find out the strength of 2x1 1/2 3/16 wall tube vs 2x2 or 2x3 steel angle for extending a trailer platform. My concern is understanding the loads the existing platform can handle.
Thanks
Rich
