Trailer Springs
To ensure your trailers function safely and allow easy transportation of materials, it’s important to install quality trailer springs. There are several types of springs available, and finding the right one is critical for proper trailer function. You need to have confidence that your components come from a manufacturing company you can trust.

Our priority is creating and customizing durable springs for a variety of uses. IDC Spring provides you with customizable trailer ramp and door spring options for all your building and servicing needs.
Types of Trailer Ramp and Door Springs
Many trailers have attached ramps and doors to make loading and unloading large objects more manageable. Understanding what springs these attachments need helps you find the right tools for building and maintaining industrial trailers.
There are two main kinds of springs common to this application:
- Trailer torsion springs: These rounded wires wrap up into a cylinder shape. Springs like this often connect ramps, doors and hatches to a trailer bed. They rotate and allow these attachments to open or lower to the ground.
- Trailer extension springs: You’ll find these coiled wires located on the inside of trailer doors and ramps. As you apply more force, the spring extends and creates resistance to control how far the attachment moves. An extension spring helps doors and ramps close tightly by bringing them in as it tightens back to its original position.
At IDC Spring, we produce a wide variety of springs for industrial use, including custom designs. Our durable springs for trailer doors and ramps are made with premium materials to hold up for years of heavy-duty use.
