Can Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring Be Cut Down When Installing
Question:
We have a Haulmark trailer but the ramp door spring shaft is 63inch long from end to end can we get a 66inch cut the shafts down and move the cable drum to match?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring, part # 362SA6 will work great for your Haulmark trailer.
This spring is 66-inches long but can be trimmed down to fit the size you need. The spring has universal brackets with 3/8 inch holes and can be mounted on the trailer header. The bracket can be installed by welding if that's the way you need it. You will want to use great caution when installing the cable and adjusting the spring tension. If you are not familiar with how it is done I strongly recommend having a professional do this.
