I believe the ones that go from side to side are refered to as "cross members", and the ones going front to back are "frames" or "chassis". Some states do have different words so you want to double check.

the "beams" going from left to right, are called "crossmembers'.......

the "beams going up and down the full lenght of the trailer are called the "frame", or even "frame rails".........
