It seems like the HPM has the B@W trumped as far as weight capacity, but the B@W has the advantage as far as the ability to carry awkward, long loads depending on the model.
this isnt true. when carrying cargo, stacking is the name of the game. i have had the bikes at work trailer tip on me more than once with a load because their wheel base is too narrow and couldn't handle a reasonable corner. i never had this happen to me with the hpm trailer. and if you're carrying anything of length, the hpm trailer can still take it, it just might stick out a foot or two at the end. big deal.
and well, for your first question, my courier job at hpm was more of a cargo courier as thats what i was doing 80% of the time and i would do anything from bulk dry goods (600lbs), the local weeklies newspapers (800 lbs), to stuff for the shop.
