Video from Todco demonstrating how to properly install counterbalance springs, rewind counterbalance springs, and how to correct an improperly wound counterbalance.
Been fighting with a larger version of this system on another trailer. Thankfully the steps worked with some adjustments. I just wanted to say thank you for the video!
Damn this is exactly what i needed when my box trucks door gave out while delivering bread at 4am 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ freaken door is heavier than I thought by opening the door manually
Is there a huge amount of kickback once the set screws are loosened (so the spring can be reset)? I know the bars need to be holding the spring, but I've heard countless people talk about how crazy those springs unwind.
I am quite stumped now,not because of your video, but because....I have to do my Enclosed Trailor today because previous owner took cables off. its the type of door that opens all the way down to the ground & serves as a Ramp also,kinda like what Lawn companies use. ............ Your video says make sure door is in Closed position ...... since My door opens top out to the ground should my door be CLOSED? or Open? to start the procedure? It looks IDENTICLE to the trailor in the video over to the right in the list thats titled " the dreaded ramp repair trailor trash" ... Should the door be layed open to start , or closed to start ?
I have an enclosed trailer where the door is a ramp also . I have two springs do i adjust them one at a time and should the door be down for this also .there also seems to be tension on the roolers when I attach the wires to the door.
No, you cannot use two 18" springs but we do have a 32" spring in stock. Part No. CB32 which you can find here: www.millsupply.com/CB32.php or you can call us at 800-888-5072
Thank you for the video I’ve been stuck inside a trailer for 5 hours 🚚

Shoutout from TAT Express out of Hutchins, TX
Great video. Turns out I have the exact same model shown in this video. I'm about to get to it. Feel much more confident now.
Two thumbs up! The winding bar on mine has holes for a 3/8" bar, I used 3/4" 18" bars and welded a 3/8" x1" longbar to the ends.
Very well Explained. Thank you for this kind of videos.
Thanks you so much for this video. It has saved the day!!!
Excellent demonstration video. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for this perfect explanation
I did it the same way you explained and it works perfect.
Glad to hear it!

Very glad you've found it helpful!
When you say turns is it a complete rotation or is it steps with the bar?

yes, this is why you use the 1/2“ winding bars to unwind the spring too

You do it with the ramp down. it is the same concept. You want the wires extended while adjusting to prevent the coil from binding

good vid
Made sense
sir, my stock spring was broken and i can't find one. instead of one spring which is 32" inches long, can i use 2 springs 18" each?

This system is so much worse than the double spring whiting system - don’t buy it
