Can I Use Landing Gear To Rasie/Lower a Tailgate BBQ Trailer Roof?

Published 05/12/2022

Question:

I am wondering if I can use these in a inverted fashion for a tailgate/cooking trailer in an inverted fashion to hold less than 500 pounds to raised and lower the roof. See attached photo. We are currently using 4 ATV winches with a cable to lift and this would be much cleaner to have 2 sets of these

I went ahead and ran your question by my fellow experts, and technically you can use the Ultra-Fab electric landing gear set # UF17-943010 in an inverted fashion to lift and lower your tailgate trailer roof. Since this setup supports tons more weight than your 500 pound roof, there won't be an issue with weight. If you are looking for a set of 4 total lifts, you need two of this kit.

I'm not going to lie... this setup will turn a lot of heads on the parking lot before the game.
