Can Redline 2k Ramp Springs Install on 1-1/4 inch Diameter Shaft

Question

Question:

I know you have the ramp spring - 2k Torque for 1 1/2 round shaft. The trailer Im working on takes a 1 1/4 round shaft, will the 1 1/2 spring work ok on the 1 1/4 round bar, or do you sell an 1 1/4 2k torque spring? Please advise? Thanks

For a 200 lb door/ramp that is on a 1-1/4 inch shaft the part # RS16933LH and # RS16933RH would be a great choice. The spring is designed for a 1-1/2 inch shaft, but we have checked before and have been told that it will still work fine on a 1-1/4 inch shaft as well.

Answer 1

Yes, if you wanted to install the ramp spring part #RS16933RH in the center of a ramp it would work in that orientation. I attached a picture that shows a ramp with the springs mounted more towards the center.

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Answer 10

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

I can end this debate for you real fast! Trailer tires, which will have an ST in front of the size, should always be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. Trailer tires usually do not have a recommended and maximum psi indication so I am…
