Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

help me to lift TAILGATE NOW with ease

I really liked it was easy to install. Video was very helpful. A few things that cause install to take a while we’re, the bolts were too long and I had to go buy shorter ones. Also the metal on my trailer must have been super heavy duty because I had to buy drill bits twice. Finally got it installed and it was way to much lift for my gate. I just took one side completely off. Really helps opening & shutting the gate. I would buy it again.

I am getting older now and the ramp on my trailer is really getting heavy for me to lift off the ground and with these on I can lift it with one finger --- literally !! These were difficult to install on my trailer because my side rails are made out of pipe, but , if your trailer is made from angle iron it wont take you 45 minutes to install these. Great product

So, my utility trailer has 30 walls, so standard attachment would not work. I had angle iron rails welded 24 to the outside of the bed walls and used it as the attachment points. Mounting the tubes was not a problem, drilling the 1/2 in holes was important for this attachment for movement and clearance. The challenge was installing the pins that ended up against the side of the gate opening, there was not much clearance, but after many attempts was able to make it work. Standard cotter pins would have worked better for this app. SPRINGS , this was the most aggravating part of the install. Testing the spring strength vs the ramp gate was bs. trying to stretch the small spring while inside the large caused the spring to bind and not reflect the true spring rate. Then once a spring was cut, its worthless (cant undo a cut spring). It seems that it the springs were separated, not fixed to the cable, fine tuning what rate is needed for the ramp weight would work better. My app ended up with two small springs, does not hold the gate but takes some effort to lower and raise the ramp. Much better than before. However, a combo of one small one large may have worked better. Only other grip is, the manufacture suggests applying a sealant as the join of the two tubes, but end caps are not provided for the leading end of the tubes and the roller end is open. Makes perfect sense. would absolutely recommend!

Really loved this product. Saved my business! Im a small landscaping business owner working alone since the pandemic. Hurt my shoulder & painfully struggled with lowering & picking back up the 70 lb. rear gate of my landscaping trailer. Gorilla Lift is amazing! Strong spring technology took away the strain on my shoulders and back. I can now lower the trailer gate with only a few fingers! Product so heavy-duty ordering a lift for both sides of trailer was over kill. Hanging onto extra side lift because its too expensive to ship back due to its size/weight. Very easy to assemble. Very satisfied.

I bought this for my father in law’s trailer. His gate is heavy. Now my mother in-law can lift it easily.

As my back reminds me of my age (74) I am completely satisfied with the assisted lift for my tailgate on my trailer. As many other customers say I should have had these years ago --- I was wondering a little about the fit on my trailer as I have a by-fold end gate but that was no problem. The only thing I had to modify was the mounting of the tubes as my trailer latch system was in the way and I didnt want to modify that so I simply put a 2 square tubing 10 long on each end and in the middle where the assist comes together and that raised the cable up enough so it clears my latch on the end gate. I mounted it on my ATV trailer and have used it a number of times already hauling my ATV for ice fishing trips and it works great -- very satisficed with the product.

read some reviews and some said one was enough to easily raise and lower your gate, maybe you could sell the other one and reduce the cost of purchase. So with one its like lifting maybe 10 or 15 pounds, a great improvement! But after I installed the second rail its like nothing to lift!You bought it, use both! I looked on you tube along with the instructions and it was relatively simple to install. Remember to use good sharp metal drill bits, I used some cheap ones for the first rail and it took me over two hours to drill the holes! Then I found some titanium tipped bits and was able to drill all the holes in just minutes! Be real careful when you use the half inch bit when you step up to that,it will more than likely grab and the drill can really do you some harm if you dont release it fast enough! I bought some stainless steel eye bolts and S hooks and mounted it directly to the face of the gate instead of the side, seams to be of more direct line with the rail..buy the plastic caps to finish off the job as long as you are buying this..I really do like this product and it works great!

Exactly what we needed

Easy install,well constructed
