Published 12/08/2015

Question:

I have a 34foot race car trailer that I use to haul cabinets. the gate is 86 tall X 84 wide 1 1/4 tubing with 1/4 aluminum diamond plate on one side and metal skin on other side. I dont know what it weighs but my guys think its 200 lbs the ramp is strong enough to hold car weight My inside clearance is 86inch do you have a model that will work for my application?

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. These ramps provide 2,000 lbs of torque which would be needed for a ramp that weighs as much as yours and is as long as yours.

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.
