We had broken cross members on the 16 ft flatbed trailer, 3/16 channel went in to replace the weaker factory prices, a new coat of paint, a custom bent header tube and a 12k badlands winch was installed
JD2555 and a few Allis Chalmers and now one Kubota
Looks great!
You might want to consider putting an upright on each side of the winch so that if you bump it with vehicle wheels, it won't bend.
