If 6 washers/dryers fit on the bed and the average weight is ~200lbs, he's looking at 1200lbs in payload when fully loaded. I'd think that is within the duty rating of the axle not considering difference in weights between the wood and steel bed.

Side note: Does the bed slope down toward the back? Hope the frame isn't bent in the middle...
