We may have a solution for you, though there is not a spring that acts as a lift assist for picking the ramps up and putting them back down. If you have a utility trailer there is the Gorilla-Lift Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist # GL1 which works with open utility trailers with square-tube, round-tube, or angle-iron side walls and trailers with a side rail height of 12" to 24" from the trailer bed and ramps that are 4' to 6' high from the trailer bed. It has a 300 lb capacity.

The other option is the Rack'Em Double Barrel Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist # RA-27C which has a 200 lb capacity and works with open utility trailers with square-tube, round-tube, or angle-iron side walls and trailers with a side rail height of 10" to 15" from the trailer bed and ramps that are at least 44" high from the trailer bed.

I have added links to video reviews of both systems for you to take a look at.
