This shows a bit more of the bracing I put in the corners and inside the top and bottom folds

All up it makes the trailer just under 1 cubic metre, which is about what i wanted for selling firewood. The bracing and corners are all made from offcuts of the same racks and put together with urethane and 3/16th rivets. I partly assembled the whole thing with self drilling screws before drilling and riveting the rest of the joints, backing the screws out and riveting thru their holes. The whole upper part weighs less than 5 kilos and can be removed and refitted by 1 person by pulling 4 split pins

Is the suspension up to that?

1 cube of dry radiata pine is around 400kg. It's probably the upper limit of those springs but if I run into issues il chop up a car spring to weld in place as an overload maybe a small bus air bag of I can find one.
I need to go buy some commercial tyres for it next week as well to handle the extra weight.

It's free. Like... I can drive up thru all the recently harvested forest and load up on log ends all day long off the waste pile and all it costs me is my time. The people buying less than a cube at a time don't care that it's not great wood, they just buy it because it's cheap and dry. Mostly single mums wjo were too disorganized to buy their wood at the start of summer and can't scrape together the $200+ for a cord of proper wood
