Question:

Hello! I have been reading specs about the Strap Hinge for Enclosed Cargo Trailer Doors 270, but I didnt see the load capacity listed, so I want to ask about how much weight each or each pair of this type of hinge can take. Thank you so much!

There is no specific weight capacity listed for the Polar Strap Hinge for Enclosed Cargo Trailer Doors # 2212. I confirmed this with Polar.

When replacing an existing hinge on an enclosed trailer you will want to match the general size and number of hinges originally on the door. This item uses heavy 8-gauge steel material and so it will be up to the task of supporting a trailer door so long as it is roughly the same size as the original. If your door had three hinges of this approximate size, then use three.

In truth the strength of the hardware you use to mount this will have more to do with its actual working capacity. Use either galvanized or stainless-steel hardware as large as the mounting holes will allow.
