Loader Spring for Horse float Tailgates and Ramps
A tailgate, horse float, and ramp loader spring is a type of torsion spring used to assist in the opening and closing of tailgates, horse floats, and ramp loaders. It is typically made of high-quality steel and is designed to withstand heavy loads.
Horse float tailgate and ramp loader springs are available in various sizes to suit different weight capacities. The most common sizes range from 40kg to 100kg, but larger springs are also available for heavier applications.
When choosing a tailgate, horse float, or ramp loader spring, selecting the correct size for the weight of the tailgate, horse float, or ramp loader it will use is essential. Ensuring the spring is installed correctly for optimal performance and safety is also crucial.
Mistakes
It is a mistake to guess the weight of your tailgate.
If the spring is too heavy, the tailgate will only come down halfway. This indicates you have chosen a spring that is too heavy for your fate.

How to Tell: Left or Right
The Tailgate Ramp Loader springs come in both left-hand and right-hand options.
To tell which spring you require, the smaller tail end should be pointed away, and whatever side the longer spring sits on is the side it’s suitable for.
