Kenneth - My trailer gate is heavy but not that heavy. I just use one double barrel & it works great. I do not know if two would work but they would certanily reduce the effort needed to lift the gate. Good luckWayne

My gate is over 100 pounds and 1 works great so Im sure 2 would work great for your heavy gate.

Ours is a 24' Coachman Captiva Camping Trailer. No problem with it lifting that. I'm sorry I can't tell you what the exact tongue weight is on our camper.

My gate does not bounce but then again I am using the locking pins that were original equipment to hold the tailgate closed. The Gorilla Lift is not designed to hold it in place without some sort of locking in position mechanism.

Ours is not a power lift gate, and they worked great. Have someone help you install them. The lift gate is heavy!

Honestly, I don't know about the strength capability for an animal that size BUT the cap that the fence goes into can be screwed into the wall/ frame so you will have added protection. I think you will be fine with this gate otherwise you can try welding steel together to make a mega gate! :0)

That's what I have it installed on. I dont recommend using it to lift a loaded trailer, but it works fine.

it worked great but whatever you do, block whatever your lifting. My trailer moved just a little and it fell off the jack. The jack was totally destroyed, as a result of twisting as it fell. I can send a picture of the damage, if you want me to. I'm very handy but could find no way to fix it. Having said that though, I still bought a replacement. I'm 76 years old and it sure make jacking things up EASY !!! I can e-mail a picture if you e-mail me at hank-g1@hotmail.com

Yes, the 3500 lbs is to lift the tongue and not the entire trailer so it is plenty. Normally the tongue weight is 10-15% of the trailer weight which is 350-525 lbs in your case.

I COULD NOT USE IT ON THE GATE THAT WAS BUILT BECAUSE THE GATE WAS NOT BUILT CORRECTLY. That being said, these are really strong and will hold a lot of weight. If a decent carpenter had built the gate correctly these would have been fabulous. They had great suspension, much better then the small plastic wheels that we ended up using and will not last. The gate should have been built with cypress not pine which is very heavy. I would recommend the wheels but you need to know how to attach them to a wooded gate. They hold a lot of weight and are by no means flimsy.

My door is hollow and catches at times. I would say no it is strong but would not help if the door itself is weak.

It depends on how heavy your gate is, there is a weight limit on this opener. You can get a opener with more power than this one.

If the ground is level enough and the load in the trailer is well balanced, it won't raise the side too high to be safe. Frank is right about needing to put a two-by ramp under the Trailer Aid, but that's no problem.

I'm note sure about your cover. I installed lift supports on a Lear cover window. I would suggest to measure the length of your existing lifts and order a pair that length and an 18 pound lift strength. Look on your existing lifts and see if it has a model number. If so cross reference it.

I installed one on a gate that is about 4'x7' and made out of pine. I imagine it would work on a heavier gate.

I have a double door van that weighs 6000 lbs and it lifts either end no problem. I would assume an extra 300 pounds gross wouldn't make a difference. That's probably only going to put a few extra pounds on the jack since you aren't actually lifting the entire 6300 lbs with the jack.

Yes little bit, I have two locks that hold gate to trailer. You only need one lock to hold it up but I just put two for safety.

No, measure carefully it is extremely heavy and ours was delivered on an tractor trailer with no lift gate. Also after uncrating there was extensive damage caused during shipping. As the vender was unable to provide a , shipper to return the vanity we negotiated a price reduction and repaired the damage.
