Will the Rack Em Double Barrel Trailer Tailgate Assist Hold the Tailgate at a Specific Angle

Question:

Does your product stop and hold the ramp at various angles also? For example, with my Harley on my 5x8 trailer, the tour pack would hit the ramp when the ramp is in its fullup position. Does your product hold the ramp out at an angle also?? Thanks

The Rack em Double Barrel Trailer Tailgate Assist, # RA-27C is not designed to hold the tailgate. It is meant to take some of the weight of the tailgate to make lowering it easier, and to use the tension stored when the tailgate was lowered to make raising the gate easier.

You might be able to use a length of chain on both sides of the tailgate to hold it at a specific angle.
