Expert Answers about Trailer Ramp Springs


  • Ramp Springs for a Trailer with Two 8' Ramps
  • It sounds like you have a utility/equipment trailer with two 8' ramps. The only springs that we have that will work for that style are the Ramp Spring - 2K Torque for 1-1/2" Shaft # RS16933RH (for Right Hand) and # RS16933LH (for Left Hand). These springs will work with shafts that are 1-1/2" and they have 2,000 lbs. of torque. I have included a video that reviews these springs and shows an installation for you to check out.

  • Replacement Trailer Ramp Springs
  • We have several hinge pins like # HP412G that I have linked for you, but it sounds like you need actual springs. We have some heavy duty ramp springs like # RS16933RH and # RS16933LH if you happen to have a heavy duty equipment trailer like what they haul tractors and other large equipment on. For an open utility trailer you may be able to use a tailgate assist like # RA-27C. Or for an enclosed trailer we have springs that are similar to garage door systems. I have linked those as well....

  • Replacement Trailer Door Ramp Spring Options
  • We do not carry the spring only for torsion springs on trailer doors. But we do carry the replacement assembly. I have included a link to the options for you to the right. Springs # RS16933LH or # RS16933RH would not work since they are designed for very heavy duty trailer ramps.

  • Ramp Spring Recommendation for Rear Ramp of Toy Hauler
  • You could install a ramp spring like the part # ERS160D96 at the top of your ramp opening to assist the ramp in lifting and lowering. That part number is for a 96 inch wide assembly but if you needed a smaller one we have the part # ERS120D81 which is 81 inches wide. These are torsion spring style assists that would need to be wound by a professional.

  • Availability of Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring Like # CB250D96SHD With 300-lb Lift Capacity
  • The M-3 Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring that you referenced, part # CB250D96SHD, has a 250-lb capacity and this is the highest-rated of all such available items. If you decide to replace your ailing winch with a new one I suggest a brake winch or a worm gear winch since both of these types will prevent the ramp from free-falling. For a worm gear winch you might use the 1500-lb rated Dutton-Lainson # DL10950 that can be used with winch cable # DL24100. Two links at right will take you to...

  • Latches for Securing Ramp on Open Landscaping Trailer
  • 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.

  • Trailer Ramp Spring for 1-1/2 Inch Diameter Shaft
  • We do not have springs for 1-3/4 inch shafts. But for a 1-1/2 inch shaft you can use spring # RS16933RH for the right side or # RS16933LH for the left side. These are meant to be welded on at the straight parts of the springs. Other than these two springs we do not have any others for a 1-1/2 inch or any for 1-3/4 inch shafts.

  • Availability of 3500-lb-Rated Trailer Axle Kits
  • We do offer complete 3500-lb axle kits with brakes, drums, bearings, races, seals, etc that are shown on the linked page. However, all of these have a hub face spacing of 89-inches and spring center spacing of 74-inches. But we also have the unique Timbren universal-fit axle-less trailer suspension systems like # A35RS545E that can in some applications be preferable since they can offer much better ground clearance by eliminating the entire axle tube and leaf spring suspension! These bolt-on...

  • Is the Gorilla Lift Cable Available Separately for the Gorilla Lift # GL1
  • Because the attachment of the cable on the Gorilla Lift, # GL1, to the Spring could be a safety issue, the cable is not available separately. You would need to purchase the Spring and Cable Kit, # GSCC-400, to replace the cable.

  • Availability Of Enclosed Trailer Ramp Door Extenders
  • We do indeed offer ramp door extenders in a variety of sizes. For example the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps # RR-TR-5 are a very popular size. These are 67" long ramps and have a 5" lift. They can be used to load a vehicle weighing up to 6,000 lbs onto a trailer. The ramps themselves are made from a high density EPS foam and weigh only 10 lbs apiece. We do offer a variety of sizes from the 54" long # RR-TR-6 all the way up to the 136" long # RR-TR-11-2.

  • Availability Of Weldable Ramp Door Hinge Which Allows Ramp Door To Be Removed On a Utility Trailer
  • The only ramp door type hinge we have that is weld on with a removable pin is the Aluminum # PLR1005. While the Ramp Door Hinge # PLR1902 you found does not have a removable pin you could weld it to a removable plate on the trailer which would then allow you to remove the entire ramp along with the hinges.

  • Rear Door/Ramp Latch for Holding Horse Trailer Ramp in Place
  • Sounds like you have a rear ramp/door on a horse trailer and need a cam style latch to hold it in place when shut. For that the 36" Lock Side-Door Bar Lock Assembly # 305736 can be used for this. It would be just a matter of mounting the assembly on top of the ramp/door to hold it up there. Or you could use two of these, one on each side and that would work as well. There are holes on the latches that you can run a padlock through like the # ML1KA. If you have something totally different...
