My buddy Kevin had a hard time finding the perfect hinge, so I found this one, it was perfect for two projects. The first one was for the boat's radar mass,to tilt it, and the other two was for the engine cover for his boat. We are thankful for the quick response from the company for shipping all three hinges,to which, arrived sooner than the expected time. Thanks etrailer. 673477

Replacement Aluminum Hinge for Back Door of Sooner 4 Horse Trailer
We have the Aluminum Butt Hinge part # PLR1005 which would work great on the aluminum back door of your Sooner 4 horse trailer.

I'm Looking At An Aluminum Butt Hinge For My Horse Trailer Ramp, Is This A Good Hinge?
An aluminum butt hinge like Polar's # PLR1005 is a durable hinge that could work great on your horse trailer. My only concern with this hinge for your application is if your frame is steel instead of aluminum which could cause galvanic corrosion because they are dissimilar metals. If your frame is aluminum, I think this is a great choice and you will just need to be careful welding. I don't know how many you would need for your application, but most trailers use a minimum of 3 or 4....

Recommendation for Trailer Ramp Hinge that Can Handle a 500 Pound Motorcycle
For your ramp and 500 pound motorcycle I recommend using a couple of ramp hinges, # PLR1902, sold in quantities of 1. This is a heavy duty ramp hinge and has a grease fitting so you can easily keep It lubricated. I am not sure how wide your ramp is or the available space you have to mount a hinge but the overall length of this hinge is 8-3/16. For something a little shorter we have dump door hinge # PLR1904-Z which is under 5 inches wide. I have linked videos on both of these hinges for you.

Can Aluminum Door Hinge PLR1005 be Used as a Hinge for a Trailer Ramp
Hinge # PLR1005 could work but you would need to use several of them. this is because this is a door hinge and a ramp will be heavier. That could be why you are having problems with the existing hinge(s); there just aren't enough to support the weight. But if you used 4 of # PLR1005 then that should support the weight. The more the better!

What is the Weight Capacity Of The Polar Aluminum Butt Hinge?
The Polar Butt Hinge - Aluminum # PLR1005 is not weight rated so I can't confirm a weight amount for you. These can be used on a fold down platform like you mentioned and have been according to some of our customers. The more hinges you use, the stronger it will be. I suggest using 4 for your application.

Wall Thickness on Polar Hardware Butt Hinge # PLR1005
The Polar Hardware Butt Hinge # PLR1005 referenced in your question features a 3/16 inch thick aluminum wall on the eyelet and it will accept a 1/2 inch pin (which is included). We do not have a similar hinge available that with a smaller 1/8 inch thickness.
view full answer...
Does Polar Aluminum Butt Hinge Hold Together with the Pin?
The Polar Butt Hinge - Aluminum # PLR1005 will be 2 separate plates when the pin is pulled out. To replace the pin, you will need to line up the two sides and place the thrust washer in place to keep the friction to a minimum. You can weld these or drill them and use screws to attach. Being aluminum they have a much different melting point than steel.

Does the Polar Butt Hinge-Aluminum Have a Weight Capacity
The Polar Butt Hinge- Aluminum # PLR1005 is not rated for a specific weight according to the manufacturer. We've seen customers using 3-4 of these on ramp doors that weigh 500-lbs or so, so using 4 of them on your trailer tongue might work depending on how heavy the trailer and the tongue weight. If you can tell me some of the weights you're dealing with, I'm happy to give you a more precise answer.

Does the Polar Ramp Door Hinge # PLR1902 Have 2 Plates for Welding
The Ramp Door Hinge # PLR1902 that you referenced does not come with 2 of the plates for welding. You will weld the plate to one surface and the outside ends of the pin to the other for installation. For a hinge that has 2 of the plates you would want the Polar Butt Hinge # PLR1005.
