Latches for Securing Ramp on Open Landscaping Trailer
Question:
Hi, Im building a ramp for an open landscape trailer and am in need of a latch to secure the ramp when it is upright. Do you carry something like this? I cant find anything on your website may may be looking in the wrong section. Thanks!

Without knowing the dimensions and weight of your ramp it is hard to make a specific product recommendation but we do offer all sorts of trailer hardware. You might do well with an inexpensive hook and keeper like # 383400 or # PLR9-SS, or a spring latch like # SL716.
I recommend using one latch on each side of the ramp.
