Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

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!

I 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.

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

My friend had one and I was sold from the minute I tried it. I can hook the tailgate with my foot and it comes right up easily. Install can be a bit of a pain depending on your trailer manufacturer, but was totally worth it. My friend broke a roller after years of use and the repair part was easy to get. User instruction could be a bit clearer on where to mount bolt on ramp. Too low and not enough lift and too high and it comes up too fast. I cant overstate the importance of testing before drilling. Pulling the spring taut for attaching the bolts or hooks can be tricky. I used a loop of strong line on the end of the spring and then pulled it out when I was done to save my fingers.

This product is going to save my back over the years to come. I have a very heavy gate on my landscaping trailer and I put it up and down at least 20 times every day. Instead of having to do a squat maneuver to get my gate up, now I flip it up with my foot and the rest of the way I push-up with a finger tip. It is a game changer

I 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.

I really like the gorilla lift, it makes raising and lowering the tailgate a 1 finger operation. I had to modify it because it is a Brimar trailer with uprights where the puppy end should be. I took 5/4 x6 pressure decking and attached it to the top rail then attached the gorilla lift on the outside edge of the decking. Not a piece of art but very functional.

This is an awesome piece of equipment! I recently had a close call with my trailer gate almost slipping out of my greasy hands with my feet directly below and in the line of fire. Had the gate slipped out of my hands, both feet would have broken or worse damage by this 200lb. gate! This gate assist is a back saver and as well as a must have safety devise. Following instructions is an easy install. Recommend a good sharpe metal drill bit. Encountered an issue with a bolt hole inline with a fender well; but resolved it with a shorter bolt from local hardware store. Only would ask seller to throw in shorter bolts also for us trailer owners with angle iron rails as I now need to cut off excess bolts used. Paying a few dollars more for eight more bolts is worth the hassle of now having to cut the bolt excess off. Simply fantastic product for the price! If you don’t have a set, get one!!! You won’t be sorry!

Couldn’t be more satisfied. This is a game changer. My ramp gate is over 150 pounds. Now it moves easily up and down and will stay in any position between.
