We took some hand weight bars and cut them in half, welded them to a solid steel 6"x6" plate and bolted it to the floor on each side of the trunk just behind the rear tires. It works great because we can just slid some plates on and thread the secure fitting on the end.

Ill try to get some pics up for you asap.

How much weight?

 

[Fastmover]

Some times as much as 300+lbs. Mostly they run 100-200 Lbs. Makes it easy to move weight to pick up that 10th break out.
