    Be sure to strap BOTH of them to BOTH sides of the trailer (independently), AND pull them downward as hard as you can. I had a small car in a trailer like that, and it walked several inches and bounced up and down on top of my toolbox that slid under the front bumper. Think in terms of 3-dimentional space, and the force of a truck at 75-80 mph swinging them around. They will slide in all directions, unless you strap them in such a way that prevents the movement in EVERY direction.
