My neighbor had a trailer with that kind of axle. It worked fine for years to haul his Golf cart around. It worked till one day he backed over a curb and parking block and bent it. Most of the stress is pulling , like you are pulling the bottoms of the wheels outward. The U or V channel can take this just fine. what it cant take is an impact in the middle. It takes very little to bend one. I took his and cut off the U channel and slipped the ends into a tube and re-welded them. After he used it a couple times I checked the tires for any unusual wear, and found none. He used it for a couple more years . It was an easy repair.
