Recommended Transition Plate for a 16 Enclosed Trailer

Question

Question:

We use our 16 enclosed trailer with ramp door to haul food in Utility carts weighing 300+ lbs 4-5 times a week. We also pick bread on dollies with small wheels. The end flap to the ramp door needs a low hinge on strong metal. On the end of the end flap, we need a piece of metal which allows small wheels to rise upon to the end flap without a 3/4 inch bump because of the thick plywood. Have you dealt with this and, if so, what were the solutions? Please advise. Doug Carruthers
