Like I said go for a single wheel trailer they often have a lot more advantages and very few of the disadvantages of two wheel trailers.
As for heavy bulky loads........... no problem if you are fabricating the trailer yourself; just fit a two legged spring loaded stand, Kick the legs down to give stability when loading and let the spring pull the legs up (on to a rubber stop) as you pedal off.
Twice, sometimes three times a month this year I have been hauling a load of between 30-40kg (66-88lbs) on my 15lb single wheel (20" X 2.25" slick tyre) seat post hitch trailer behind my urban hybrid 6 miles across (hilly) Norwich with absolutely no problems what-so-ever.
Here you go, 40kg (88lbs) load on a 20"X 1.95" wheel Oxtail trailer:
