# Ramp and Cargo Door Repair

Ramp door repair services the loading ramps, spring assist systems, hinges, and cables on enclosed and equipment trailers, restoring safe operation on assemblies that are heavy enough to injure when they fail.

Range: $400 to $5,500

Collision estimates for insurance claim walk-ins carry no charge. Systems estimates are $150 and diagnostics are $285 per hour, both credited against an authorized repair.


## Spring assist is a safety system

A trailer ramp is heavy. The spring assist is what makes it manageable, and when the springs weaken the ramp becomes both hard to raise and dangerous to lower, because it accelerates as it drops.

Spring and cable work under tension is not a field repair. It is done properly in-shop with the assembly restrained.

## Questions

**My ramp has become very heavy. Why?**

The spring assist has lost tension or a spring has broken. It is a straightforward repair and it should not be deferred, since a ramp without assist is a genuine injury risk.

**Can a bent ramp be straightened?**

Often yes, depending on where the damage is. A ramp bent along its length may need sectioning or reskinning.

**Do you repair beavertail and dovetail ramps?**

Yes, including the flip-over and slide-out styles found on equipment trailers.
