Question:
What’s the weight limit on this? Was thinking about using 3 of them for ramp door hinges.

Expert Reply:
The Square Corner Hinge with Reverse Bracket - Zinc Plated Steel - 16" # PLR2216 are not rated for a weight limit. For a ramp door, I recommend instead using the Ramp Door Hinge - Steel # PLR1902 which is a much thicker metal and a stronger pin. This is designed for that function and needs to be welded in place.
The Square corner hinge although easier to install would risk hardware failing as they aren't designed to hold weight beyond the door itself.
