I went from Texas out to the West Coast and back,with over 600-lbs,and just the 8" trailer wheels.I think you'd be okay.

Thinking about the nose.For something 'pre-made',A wheelbarrow body,whether steel or plastic,has some fine shape when inverted.This 'nose' could be cut in half to form the sides of a wider trailer nose,then just fill in the void.
It would give you side radii and top radii,plus a slope-back 'Stromform' nose,considered one of the best.
