I said I could only find two companies but I was wrong I found three Idaho Tote, Swivel Wheel and Smart Trailer. There may be some others out there as well. Smart Trailer has a four wheeled one that takes all the weight, Idaho Tote the axle is more centered so it takes a lot of the weight and swivel wheel is at the end of the trailer so it may take half the weight of the load. looking at the frame of the trailer its only a 10" lightweight I beam so a cargo platform is out of the question, as some have said it would probably damage the trailer without significant reinforcement and suspension upgrades which is out of the question.
You need to be careful with the swivel wheel. It puts about 80% of teh weight of the trailer and load on the rear of the Monty. The Freedom hauler, the weight is balancd over the teh wheels.
