Is there really any need for axles larger than the standard 10mm used for most rear hubs? They support a lot of very heavy riders with no strength problems. You could machine out the threads of an inner cone and make it a press fit on the inner race and use conventional M10x1.0 threaded cones for the outer race. Unless your trailer is going to be tremendously heavily loaded I don't see the need for an oversize axle.
