Question:

I need some info about ramp door springs. My enclosed trailer has garage door springs over head and they are frequently breaking. I wand to add the trailer ramp springs. I see part number RS16933RH My hinges have much smaller hinge pins, approximately 1/2 diameter and everything I see is 1.5 diameter.

Expert Reply:

With your over head garage door springs frequently breaking you may not have the correct capacity springs for your door. We have kits that range from 80LBS # M374FR up to 250LBS # CB250D96SHD. The weight rating is not the door weight but the amount of force required to raise the door at any given point. The easiest way to check this is with a scale while raising the door. If you can tell me the weight you are seeing on a scale I can help find the correct system for your door.

The Ramp Spring # RS16933RH that you found is designed to work with ramps on a open trailer. We will not have any that fit your 1/2" diameter hinge on an enclosed trailer.
