Trailer Barn Door To Ramp Door Conversion

My new 7x20 i opted for the ramp doors after much debate.

Trailer barn door to ramp door conversion.

We use the ramp to unload all the tools when getting to the job. I suggest a latch lock system like the universal cam door lock for enclosed trailers 1 keeper 383200 this will use a 3 4 inch diameter pipe that you ll have to get at a local hardware store but the bridge type keeper prevents accidental opening and ensures safe locking action. To convert your barn door on your wells cargo enclosed trailer to a ramp door i would recommend you use the universal cam door lock for enclosed trailers 383200 that you referenced as well as a 3 4 diameter pipe that you will need to get from a hardware store. For a hinge mechanism if the current hinges you have are not adequate i would recommend you get three 1 2 inch diameter greasable.

I like the idea of the doors because the ramp adds 6 or 7 feet to your foot print which is already 40 50 feet long. But when we have to run out and get something the ramp just sits in there. You can find slide in ramps stand up ramps fold up ramp gates fold in ramp gates bi fold gates heavy duty gates flip over dovetail ramps dump doors and all the supporting parts. Guess its personal.

You really would not need additional parts other than bolts to mount it in the trailer. So much nicer rolling the bike in wherever you want. Some track home neighborhoods are hard to park without blocking a neighbors driveway. Trailer ramp spring 362sw61 could work provided that the interior of the trailer is wide enough for the rod the rod can be trimmed down as low as 48 inches.

To create barn doors out of your ramp door you will need hinges and a latch. The doors open 180 degrees and latch to the side so they are always out of the way. The capacity of this spring is 120 pounds so it will help when both raising and lowering the door. Barn doors around here are the easiest to find and everyone is looking for ramp.

I m glad i went ramp on a trailer this big. My brother and i just purchased a barn door and bought a tri fold aluminum ramp.
