Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

This is one of the best investments for work which Ive ever made. I deliver goods in my own trailer, and the tailgate needs to accommodate weighty stuff, so the gate is heavy gauge metal. Lifting it up and down all the time was doable, but who needs the extra work when you lift a lot already? It goes up and down with nearly zero effort now, and the gate lifting hardware was easy to install.

The parts are top quality and the fit and finish are great! I found that I had to make some modifications to my trailer before installation that werent expected and that I only needed one lift. Installing two wasnt necessary but it wasnt covered in the instructions. I realize that they cant cover every situation but placement on the rail is critical and MUST be followed. Now that it is all installed and modified, it works like a charm! One finger moves the ramp up or down and it is literally effortless. Great product!

Totally worth it, makes it easier to lift the gate

Great product, quality made. I’m 67 and I put this on a 16’ trailer with a heavy gate. I can now lift the gate with one finger. Has really saved my back.

I like how it works, but it could use a few changes. Every trailer has supports in different spots, but the holes in the lift assist are always in the same spots. My last carriage bolt landed inside a V, L-angle upright under the railing. It was near impossible to get the bolt in the V and get the washer and nut on. I almost drilled another hole 3 inches forward, then cutting the bolt to fit inside square tube and use a magnet or stiff wire to set the bolt into the new hole. Luckily I didnt need to do that. My other alternative was to drill a hole through the top and install the bolt that way, and cover the hole with a rubber plug. I didnt want to weld it in case it didnt work. Looking at the photo I have 5.5 inches from the rail to the ramp and I wasnt sure it would work, I worried about the spring hitting the rollers, since it had to pull out 5.5 inches. It works great. When I clipped the hooks on the ramp it worked perfect. It stayed straight out just like the directions said. I used a 3/16 cobalt drill bit and a cheap 1/2 step drill from Harbor Freight and it went through the metal like butter. Im going to weld two handles on the ramp so I can use my toe to lift the ramp so I wont need to bend over. I would definitely by again.

I LOVE this kit! We installed it in less than an hour. Now dropping and lifting our trailer gate is no longer a 2 person event. The only reason I am not giving it 5 stars is because the ends of the tubes dont come with any protection (caps). Upon purchasing and installing the assist, we realized that the springs and cables inside the rails will be exposed to rain and mud when hauling our Ranger. Back to Amazon to buy a set of end caps (they were only $7 but it would have been nice to have 2 in the kit).

I added the Gorilla Lift to my 12 foot utility trailer along with the Jungle Jim Rapid Latch. The latch that was mounted on the top rail of the trailer had to be cut off in order for the Gorilla Lift and Jungle Jim to work. I cut it off with a 4 angle grinder and a cutting blade. After that was removed, it was pretty straightforward. You have to drill a lot of holes for everything to attach, so plan on spending several hours on this project. I think it took me 3 - 4 hours to attach both to my trailer. Im so glad I did. The trailer ramp is heavy, so the Gorilla Lift makes it so much easier to raise and lower. Now, I can just stand on the drivers side of the trailer, pull the handle on the Jungle Jim, and lower the ramp.

Im a 68 year old woman and I could install myself. Its the best product ever as I was really having difficulty lifting gate on my trailer. Shipping very fast and best product ever!

easy to install works great !

This thing does what it promised! Saves your back!!!!!
