Genuine GORILLA-LIFT 2-Sided Trailer Tailgate Lift Assist

This thing does what it promised! Saves your back!!!!!

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

This is one of the best investments for work which Ive ever made. I deliver goods in my own trailer, and the tailgate needs to accommodate weighty stuff, so the gate is heavy gauge metal. Lifting it up and down all the time was doable, but who needs the extra work when you lift a lot already? It goes up and down with nearly zero effort now, and the gate lifting hardware was easy to install.

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.

I did a RE-APPLICATION with this product, and it came out just Fine. Modified a enclosed car-hauler type trailer in to a landscape trailer with 45 sides, and a 5 ((HEAVY)) drop door/ramp capable of handling a BobCat/skid steer. The supplied cables being APP. 50 long would not Even begin to allow for the needed pic-points. Mounted @ 45 high and needing to pic, from the hinge @ at-least 47 needed App 5 1/2 of cable. So I went to my local rigging supply house and had two 12 sections of cable swedged with a Tight loop on one end, and open on the other. Purchased two 1 1/2 swivel eye pulleys, two small chain mending links and two thimbles. Cost complete, $55.00. Using the Back bolt location, bond the tight loop have the using the chain links, attach the pulley to the spring, (having removed the original cable) pull tight & temporally bond to required pic point, remove fitted assembly and have it professionally swedged at the determined location. Acceptable results for little money, not one handed feather-lite operation, BUT easily lifted with out straining. Photos of parts and application. Gflatt, Jacksonville Fla.

73 yrs old.lift it with two fingers

Had one bolt that would not thread, otherwise was great experience installing. Works great once installed.

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.

Very easy to install and use. Im 66 so it was getting pretty hard for me to raise and lower my trailers talegate. After I installed it I can let it down or rise it up with just my finger !

Tired of breaking my back. Works great so far
