Question:

I have a small 2-horse trailer with a ramp. The ramp is super heavy for me to down and lift up. Will the rack-em double barrel work on my trailer or do I need something different.

Expert Reply:

It really depends on the style of your trailer. If you have an open trailer with side rails that could attach the Rack'Em Double Barrel Utility Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist # RA-27C to then yes, you could use it. If you have an enclosed horse trailer then you would need to install an appropriately sized ramp door spring, like part # ERS160D96, to help lift and lower the ramp door.
