The springs on the Conventional Ramp Door Spring item # 362SA8HD is the only thing that is marked. The springs are marked with gold paint so they're rated for 280 lbs but the door only has a 230 lbs capacity so I would say that no they do not corelate. You will want to go with the lower capacity of 230 lbs for your application.
