I would say it depends on what he's hauling....Semi trailers are usually built for a maximum weight per foot, say 10K lbs in 10' up to 16K lbs in 8' is what I've seen.
Depending on the load, and the spread, I can see it being just fine. However, what I would be skeptical of is the placement of the axles under the "cross members." those are much lighter than a normal place to attach axles.
Again, all depends on how heavy he wants to use it...it wouldn't work for me I can assure you. I'm like the postal service, if it fits it ships....but there ain't no low flat rate...
Either way, cool project.
