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.

What wall thickness? .125"? .188"? .250"?

I’m pretty sure that I was using .250 thick steel.

Thanks for the responses that gives me something to go off of. How many main beams did you use?

Re: Ramp door March 16, 2021 04:11PM
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.
