Re: 53' custom box trailer build
If the gate wasn't operational, I probably wouldn't put so much effort into making a lift gate. It would've been so much easier to just build a regular drive-in hauler. Although it will need to have the axis/folding end cables manually connected/disconnected for the open/close function to operate properly. On second thought a clutch mechanism for the cables that I would have to disconnect manually is something I'm going to consider, now that the idea popped into my head.
So far Frizzen' has given me the best option for the cable system using 4 cables and a single winch. I have to craft a roller or fairlead of some kind for the cables.
