Availability of Ramp Springs for a Car Hauler Trailer
Question:
The rear ramp door on my car hauler trailer is very heavy to lower and lift. Do you have door springs and a method of determining what spring rate I need to fix the issue? I purchased the trailer second hand and the previous owner added aluminum ramps attached to the door to assist with getting lowered racing cars in and out. Obviously this added weight to the door so the existing spring is under powered. Any assistance you may provide would be welcomed.

We have a couple different options that may work. But it is going to depend on the setup of your trailer which would be the best option.
If you have an enclosed trailer an overhead ramp spring like the part # CB250D96SHD would be your best option. If instead the trailer is open and the ramps are on a 1-1/2 inch shaft you would instead want the part # RS16933RH.
Feel free to email back with more details on your trailer. Pictures of the ramp area would be great too.
