Home built landscape trailer gate assist.
A lawn care business owner shared with us on the Gopher Lawn Care Business Forum a landscape trailer gate assist he made.
He wrote “I built this gate assist for my trailer so the gate would be easier to lift. I used a garage door spring that I had laying around. It didn’t take long at all to put it together. Maybe at most, a few hours with the tweaking to get it working just right.
Parts list:
- a few links of heavy duty chain
- I use rubber coated cable
- cable clamps
- a eye hook
- garage door spring
- 2 1/2 inch PVC pipe
Tools needed
- A welder
- hack saw
- drill”
