    I've used (mult-iday touring) a BoB trailer loaded up to 25 kg & it's rated to 32 kg. See http://www.bobtrailers.com/
    For large &/or heavy loads you will need to build something.

    http://www.bikecartage.com/ in Canada make a 2 wheel trailer for loads up to 205 kg.

    Moz in Sydney made himself a large trailer. See http://www.moz.net.nz/bike/build/megatrailer/index.html

    I couldn't see myself towing a 70 kg load very far or over many hills. Biggest problem after getting your load moving is STOPPING IT!, put brakes on your trailer.

    You could also hire a truck/ute/car. 😉

    Hmm, cheap, heavy, reliable, choose any one! Search for Moz's bicycle pages
    mozbike.combuild One less ute and Mega trailer might be useful.

    Eventually I will get the photos of my bob style heavy hauler up.

    70kg!? You will need trailer brakes. Anybody heard of a bike trailer with brakes?

    BTW, you may have a .au address, but by saying "lumber", you aint fooling anybody that you are
    local. :-)
