What happens here

The first product to be installed on the open utility trailer is the Easy Gate assist. Bob and Corey demonstrate the process of attaching the Easy Gate mechanism to the trailer's ramp. This involves securing the main strut to the trailer frame and connecting the gate's support cables. The Easy Gate allows the heavy trailer ramp to be lifted and lowered with minimal effort, requiring only a couple of fingers to operate. It also features an adjustable chain linkage to fine-tune the weight distribution, potentially reducing the gate's effective weight by 85-90%.

Goal: Install the Easy Gate assist for effortless trailer ramp operation.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Tightening bolts for installation
  • Easy Gate Assist Ballard Inc — To make lifting and lowering the trailer ramp easier
  • Screwdriver — Holding bolts in place during tightening
