Most likely it's possible but the level of modification you'll need to do is hard to say. We have ramp door hinge kits like the part # PLR1904-Z which you'd weld to the back of the trailer and then attach a ramp door to. But most likely you won't be able to reuse the barn doors and you'll have to come up with a ramp.
