Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

take your time

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.

Instructions were very clear & I am able to raise and lower the gate with very little effort.

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.

Well made and works great

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.

Best purchase Ive ever made for my husband, he can lift the double gate with just two fingers. Most every time he takes brush to the recycle he gets comments on it, once someone tries it, they want one. :-)

Awesome Product...Have been using it for for months everyday....Only issue I had was the Quality of the Carriage Bolts....The Strip Very Easily...Do Not over torque/tighten...Or Replace them with better quality like I did.

This will definitely save your back. Easy to lift and lower.
