I wouldn't want to be towing heavy loads with a lightweight trailer.

the trailer i am thinking of had been engineered with holes drilled in different members to reduce the tare weight, while still being well built (as could as you could tell in photos!)

Where I work, the engineers in the factory cut big holes into chassis webs to reduce the tare weight. Super light weight skels. Not long after they had to replace all the customers chassis' as they started to snap in half going down the highway.
