In this episode of Projects with Paul, I am modifying my trailer ramps from slide in to hinged. Please like, share, comment & subscribe. Thanks for watching.
I. Process of doing this myself, thanks for video
Nice work 👍
How much did you cut off?
1 1/2" from the clevis. Thanks for watching.
Awesome
Great idea about the pins in the bar stock. I want to do the same to mine and I was going to weld them in solid. I like the thought of making them removable for different situations 👍
Thanks for sharing Paul.
Getting ready to do same project to my 20ft trailer with 2x5 ramps and going to copy your pattern.
Thanks! Kentucky
Have you thought of cutting the edge of the clevis you welded to the trailer at an angle in order to bring your hinge point up slightly higher than the trailer deck - by doing this, the ramps can hinge down flat onto the bed of the trailer. Just an idea...
I have not, but that is a good idea. Thanks for watching!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good job. Just suggestion, instead of just chain to hold the ramps upright, use turn buckles with the chain. Pulls the ramps up tight to your stop brackets. No banging and rattling on the road.
What did you weld with I have a 170 Chicago mig welder I’m wondering if it could handle those 1 “ pad eyes
I use a miller 211 on 230 volt
Last question where did you get your small 1”pieces from?
@rayv8355 amazon. There's a link in the description
Sorry I’m meaning the 1” pipe pup pieces that the 1” solid pipe runs through.

Hello Paul, can you share the part numbers of the clevis's that you purchased from amazon? Thanks in advance
B074Q1TV3S is the part number on amazon. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for offering a solution to my problem with your trailer ramp hinge design.
Awesome, I'm glad it helps. Thanks for watching.
Great job!
I’ve got the exact same setup as you had, what a P.I.T.A. sliding the ramps out. Thanks for the info!
It made a big difference. Thanks for watching.
Awesome
What are those pieces called that you are willing to the back of the trailer to hinge off
Weld on clevis or shackle mounts. Thanks for watching.
Isn't that 1 inch over rated for the 1/4 angle iron your welding too.
Seems that the angle iron won't hold to the amount of weight your putting on it.
Great design tho,doing a great job.
The angle holds just fine. I used the 1" because it adds more surface area for the pin to ride on and I think it looks good. Thanks for watching.
@@ProjectsWithPaul it does look good,I like it and I might copy cat you on a future build.
I like thay setup!
Awesome, Thanks for watching
The hole in clevis mounts are .95 inch. The steel rod I got is 1.0 inch. Still trying to work it out.
There are 1" drill bits on amazon for around $17 with a 1/2" shank. Maybe that would help. Thanks for watching.
I used a Dremel tool to hone out the hole. Slides in nice now.
