The spring-loaded mechanism mounts to your trailer's side rail and attaches to the tailgate, taking most of the gate's weight off the user's hands. It also leaves the other side of the trailer open for equipment racks and other rail-mounted trailer accessories. The EZ Gate works on most open utility trailers with square or round tubing and a side rail height of 10 to 24 in. One kit will handle gates up to 180 lb. The EZ Gate is made of heavy duty steel with a black powder-coated finish to protect against corrosion and wear. It includes all necessary hardware for fast and simple installation.

Use on open landscape trailers to haul mowers. Work exceptionally well in taking the weight off the trailer gate when lifting. Only use one on a trailer, some people put two(one on either side) but even with one can easily lift trailer gate with one hand without straining your back. The only drawback is the brackets used to fasten the tube to the trailer were not ideal, made minor adjustment to make them fit securely.

The design is good, it works well and only requires one side of the trailer. The installation should have been easy but it wasn't.The parts are tossed into an underweight corrugated box. All the hardware is in a brittle plastic bag, and they all bounce around loose. The result? Everything was dinged up and scratched. The hardware bag was damaged and hardware was loose, and the larger parts tore holes in the cheap box. Be prepared to make a trip to the hardware store to buy missing hardware after you have inventoried what's left in the box.Missing and damaged hardware, looks like I bought it used. A shame really, the same thought should go into the packaging so the product get to the customer in good shape, Buyers really need to hire or contract a packaging engineer...

This took perhaps two hours to install, but the directions were very simple to follow. The measurements provided were perfect for the spacing so pay attention to them and everything will fit as expected. The only thing that was not exact for me was the table provided to gauge the distance from the top of the tailgate for where to bore the mounted eyebolt; my tailgate was slightly larger or bigger depending on which number you looked at. The dimensions were not for my trailer, but I just did a splitting of the numbers that were not exact and the positioning worked out perfectly. When you see the table provided you will understand. I only used two holes to mount the cable guide at the end of the instructions, but it receives very little stress anyway and it would have required me to move the base retention brackets already installed. Just make sure the guide sits over your latch and disregard the last hole if it sits over the latch, it works fine without putting a bolt in it. This ensures that the cable will not rub on the bracket when the tailgate is lowered. If you did it correctly the chain and cable will be taut when in the raised position as mine was and it will not rattle in the wind when on the road.Measure, and keep everything centered when drilling the first four holes, and the tube will line up just fine. When installing the cable guide at the end, make sure it is centered also. Measure twice. The tailgate does lift easier, and that was the point.

Great product, easy to install, instructions were thorough. Two things that were not clear were 1. When putting the two black tubes together, the PVC pipe insert has to go inside both tubes to hold them together. 2. I would start the first 5/16 drill hole 2 inches further back at 8 inches. So the first bracket mount isn't so close to the one end. 3. If u have a fenders like my trailer, the center hole for the bracket can be moved forward or rear off the wheel fender..I only need one side to effectively raise the trailer gate with my foot. This product does exactly what it says. Oh, I was missing a few parts and reached out to the company buyers. The responded quickly and solved my issue very quickly. I am very satisfied with this purchase!!!

Watching the videos I saw people pick up their ramp with 2 fingers. Well, mine won't. But, I do have a 60" ramp and it is heavy. I installed as instructed and it does work great. The force needed to pickup my ramp is less that half of what it was. Maybe I needed two? It works, I like it, and I'm keeping it. I have it 4 stars because it was not a two finger pickup. Maybe I need to move the chain in one more link?Update: Moved the link in one more and it is even easier to lift. Still not two finger, but closer. Moved up to 5 Stars. If I need to move to the next link I will need to figure out how to pull the spring longer to get the slack needed to move to the next link. Not worrying about it. Like how easy it is now. Much better. Great product. I would suggest if you plan to get it, download the instructions and get NEW drill bits for the size needed (5/16" and 1/2" if I remember correctly). My trailer was pretty tough to drill with old bits. Had to look up the manufacturer's web site to download the instruction page.

Wonderful concept but not enough information given to make the right choice. I have a beavertailed trailer and am still in talks with the great staff at buyers products trying to get this to work.

After many days of searching and reviews and youtube video's I found these were the best on the market, then after searching prices found on Amazon $15.00 cheaper then even on Ebay with free shipping, installation took about and hour and a half with easy to follow instructions and basic tools to install, with having a bad back, this is a life saver, my gate is 6' x 7' of heavy mesh and square tubing and weighs approximately 200lbs, with this assist it is a 2 finger down or up. I highly recommend one of these for anyone who uses a drop gate on their trailer. The price made it well worth the purchase and so easy my wife can lift it with ease..Thank you for a excellent product.

Make sure everything is there....started installing and got to the bracket for the pulley wheels....and guess what, no bracket! the single most important part that I cant just go down and buy at the hardware store...(unlike all the bolts that they sent they do not work and I had to replace!). The clamps that were sent for the top are also the wrong size for the pipe (again another trip to hardware store....). So, now I sit here with holes drilled in my trailer eagerly awaiting a replacement kit, to get the bracket and finish the installation to see if this thing even really works.Very good idea and could possibly be a great design but this company has some very big quality issues that need to be resolved first.
