The 3" Wide Continuous Hinge - 6' Long - 3/8" Pin Diameter - Steel part # MA75VR can be cut down to your exact length needed. I would simply recommend during so at the knuckle intersections so you don't have any weak knuckles.

The hinge is designed to be used on trailer doors and tailgates, we unfortunately cannot comment on other applications though I'm sure you could find many uses for this. That said, so long as it's installed correctly i.e. solid welds there should be no issues using the hinge within reason.
