Just wondering what guys are using for frame work on a ramp door on a step deck trailer. 10’L ramp. 10-12000 lb tractor. |

I just finished building mine a month ago and I built the frame out of 3”x3” square tubing. It is plenty sturdy for my 10,000 LB. tractor. |

I put 7 beams on mine. If you want, I don’t care to send you some pics of how I did mine. There are a few guys around here that I copied from their design and it came out really nice. |
