Heavy-Duty Torsion Spring Holder for Trailer Tailgates
Product Overview
Stop fighting your heavy trailer ramp and protect your assets from sudden tailgate failures. The most common cause of ramp collapse on horse floats and stock trailers is rust weakening the original, factory-installed hollow spring holders. The Couplemate™️ heavy-duty torsion spring holder provides a permanent, professional-grade solution. Proudly Australian-made, this custom holder is engineered to withstand the immense, constant torque generated by heavy-duty loading springs, keeping your tailgate safely secured to its loader spring at all times.
Why Choose This Product
- Unmatched Structural Strength: Built with a solid K1045 medium-tensile steel core, completely eliminating the collapse risk associated with standard hollow tubing.
- Weld-Ready Performance: Supplied in a raw steel finish, allowing fabricators and DIYers to achieve a clean, seamless, deep-penetration weld directly to the trailer chassis.
- Eliminates Binding: Precision CNC-machined alignment reduces internal spring friction, preventing mechanical binding and lowering operation noise.
Full Product Description
The Couplemate™️ heavy-duty torsion spring holder for trailer tailgates is built to last in harsh Australian environments. Moving heavy utility ramps or horse float tailgates requires immense mechanical leverage, which quickly fatigues inferior hardware. This professional-grade holder features a massive 44mm solid bar constructed from K1045 high-tensile axle steel, supported by thick 10mm steel mounting plates. This solid-core design ensures that the anchor point will not flex, bend, or fatigue under extreme loads.
Designed specifically for custom fabricators, commercial trailer builders, and fleet maintenance repairers, this bracket acts as a secure, permanent anchor point. By switching to a solid steel assembly, you permanently eliminate the risk of internal rust scaling—a hidden hazard that frequently destroys hollow factory brackets from the inside out. For optimal safety and balanced lifting assistance on exceptionally heavy commercial ramps or wide horse float tailgates, industry installers highly recommend utilising two independent torsion springs with heavy-duty holders installed on both sides of the chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if this holder will fit my current trailer tailgate spring?
- This heavy-duty holder is designed to comfortably accommodate large-diameter trailer torsion springs with a wire material size up to 19mm. Please verify your spring’s physical cross-sectional diameter before purchasing.
- Can I bolt this torsion spring holder directly onto my trailer chassis?
- No. This product is supplied in a raw steel finish and is engineered specifically for a permanent, high-strength weld-on installation to your steel trailer chassis frame.
- How can I determine the correct spring size for my horse float tailgate?
- It is critical to accurately weigh your tailgate before ordering your hardware. You can easily find the weight by placing an old set of standard household bathroom scales underneath the outer edge of the unassisted ramp when it is lowered parallel to the ground.
