Typically trailers use double beams running with its length, supporting purlins. These beams are usually supported with concrete block at regular spacing. The blocks can be replaced with beams running perpendicular to the beams at the same spacing. If the trailer is new the manufacture can provide you with the design, if not, hire an engineer to help u with the design.
