Trailer ramp/gate lift assist

[Jpete]

I have a 14' tandem trailer that I use to haul my Mule and gear. The trailer has a ramp/gate that is 4' tall and it is beginning to get heavy for me to lift up. I have looked at several brands of gate assist systems and the one in particular is called Gorilla Lift, do any of y'all have experience with this brand or any other lift assist?

Use gorilla on a couple work trailers.
Works great and provides a lot of assistance.
Have had some durability issues with the cables and hardware but these get used rough daily by multiple people so likely not an issue for a trailer used less often.

Take the gate off and use an aluminum atv/utv foldable ramp.

You can always put a boat trailer winch on the door and use that until it gets high enough to just shove in. I’m cheap though.
