Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

I put this on my trailer gate. I only needed one and sold the other

Installed quickly. Whereas I could not lift my trailer gate without help prior to installing, it is literally a one-handed operation. Best purchase I’ve made in a very long time.

Likes the product. Arrived quickly. Used for my husbands landscape trailer.

Works as described. I was able to adjust the amount of assist to the tailgate can be lifted with 1 finger. Do note that many trailers have a locking pin or latch that may interfere with the cable. I had to cut my original latch off of my trailer and devise another way to secure the tailgate. But I have something wrong with my back and it was worth it. A friend of mine installed a set on his trailer a few days before me and he also had to modify his latch setup. He also ran into a little issue with one of the mounting bolts of the lift coming out directly into the edge of one of the vertical angle arm sections of the trailer. The problems I ran into are possible on many trailers, but the design of the Gorilla Lift was not at fault. It looks like it will last a long time and the yellow tubes are power coated inside and out so it shouldnt rustsoon like the trailer probably will. Im glad I bought it and installed it. If you cant accurately locate and drill 10 1/2 holes, have someone do this for you who can. Youll be happy when youre done. See my photos of a trailer that has a latch thats in the way. Then see the photo with the cable extended and you can see where to watch for a problem.

My trailer gate was very heavy and hard for me to lift. I decided to get the gorilla lift to save my back. It was easy to install and works great! No more strained back!

Had one bolt that would not thread, otherwise was great experience installing. Works great once installed.

I purchased last year and installed a month ago. Springs on right side pulled through and cable on left side broke.

Really like the Gorilla lift and give it five stars. The reason I give four Star is the bolts that come with it are not going to let your bolts set flat unless you make your hole square or drill a really big hole. I believe the hardware bolts could be a better design.

This is a great product, really helped my husbands shoulder

I was having a really hard time lifting my gate. Now I can lift it with one finger. My wife can even lift it. Perfect for a senior citizen like me.
