Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist
-
Not Available
08-06-2025All trailer manufacturers dont seem to turn the angle iron on the tailgate the same way so if you buy the lift handle you will have to adjust the instructions to fit your trailer. If using the extension rollers the instructions dont show which way to install the rivets or how far apart the roller extension and lift arm should be. An email to Gorilla lift solved both issues within 24 hours and I was able to complete installation the day after delivery.

Greater than one weekI purchased last year and installed a month ago. Springs on right side pulled through and cable on left side broke.

> 3 dayI needed something to allow me to continue using my utility trailer that has a heavy ramp/tailgate. The Gorilla Lift did the trick but it was pretty difficult to install on my round pipe rails. This was all made more difficult by the fact that I’m 75 and have a partially paralyzed hand. Once completed it works very well and I recommend it for us senior citizens. I had to purchase longer bolts to go through the pipe rail but that was the only problem.

> 3 dayI have a 5x10 trailer and the gate was getting heavy while out mowing all day. Because of my trailer set up I only installed one side (driver side) and it is awesome. I can lift it with my foot and dont have to bend over anymore. Great product and a huge back saver.

> 3 dayit went well, I cost me some time by not looking at things carefully before starting. I did have to add another hole in their product as my trailer had a section of box tubing running vertically at the end (where they had a bolt going)

> 3 daySo I ordered this and for one reason or another it took 18 months to find the time to install it. Started off slow because my old gate latch was mounted on the top rail and had to be removed. Then had to put new latches on that mounted on the side rail uprights. Total time to install just the Gorilla lift kit was under an hour. Now it is so easy to lift the gate I can not believe it took me so long to get it done. Strongly recommend this product

07-06-2025So this gets 5 stars because of the benefit once it’s right. Truly one finger operation. But there were several functionality issues as designed. One is if you have a fold flat ramp, or need to remove the ramp sometimes, you will lose that because of the way the standoffs stick out and are bolted on. I built A new set of pins and went through two supports on the ramp, and they can be removed in a few seconds if you want fold flat and ramp removability. Which for me, was a must. See pics for easy upgrade. Final product is a life saver, including the upgrade. Btw, that little black bracket with hole is to hang the pin when not attached to the ramp. Just piece of angle attached with the same carriage bolt as the spring housing. Your backs gonna love you!
