If you’ve ever fought with a heavy trailer ramp door, you know the struggle. Whether you're loading ATVs, side-by-sides, or equipment, lifting and lowering that ramp can be one of the most frustrating parts of using an enclosed trailer.
That’s exactly why Towro Trailer Dealership in Platte, South Dakota is excited about the new Southland Royal Cargo trailers.
With the introduction of the Gas Shock Ramp Assist system, Southland has redefined what it means to load and unload safely, efficiently, and without the hassle. For customers across the region looking for enclosed cargo trailers, this is a feature worth paying attention to.
What Is Gas Shock Ramp Assist?
The Gas Shock Ramp Assist is designed to make opening and closing your trailer ramp door smoother, easier, and more controlled.
Instead of relying on traditional cable systems, Southland uses a gas shock system that helps lift and lower the ramp with minimal effort. The result is a more controlled motion, less strain on the user, and a better overall experience every time you load your trailer.
At Towro, we’re always looking for features that make life easier for our customers — and this is one you’ll notice right away.
Why It Matters for Trailer Owners
When you're using an enclosed cargo trailer for ATVs, UTVs, or equipment, your ramp door gets used constantly. Over time, traditional systems can become difficult to manage or wear out.
The Southland gas shock ramp system was built to solve those problems — and it’s one of the reasons Towro is proud to carry this lineup.
- Easier Loading and Unloading
With gas shocks doing the heavy lifting, opening your ramp door becomes smooth and controlled. No more fighting the weight of the door or risking it slamming shut.
This is especially valuable when loading heavier machines like side-by-sides or when you're working alone.
- Built for Long-Term Durability
Southland didn’t just add this feature — they tested it.
The system has been tested through thousands of open-and-close cycles, built to handle years of consistent use. It’s also proven to perform in tough conditions like mud, dirt, and freezing temperatures.
For customers working across South Dakota, that kind of durability matters — and it’s exactly the kind of reliability Towro looks for when selecting trailers to carry.
- No Cables, No Clutter
One of the biggest upgrades is what’s missing.
Traditional ramp systems often rely on cables that can get in the way, wear out, or create safety concerns. Southland’s gas shock design eliminates exposed cables entirely, giving you a cleaner ramp space and fewer components to maintain.
- Smooth, Controlled Operation
The gas shock system uses a sealed design to provide consistent, controlled movement.
Instead of a ramp that drops quickly or requires force to lift, you get a steady, predictable motion every time. That reduces strain on both the user and the trailer itself.
Why Choose Southland Royal Cargo Trailers?
Beyond the ramp assist feature, Southland Royal Cargo trailers are built for durability and real-world use.
They’re a strong option for:
- Hauling ATVs and UTVs
- Transporting tools and equipment
- Protecting cargo from South Dakota weather
- Contractors and outdoor enthusiasts
When you combine that durability with the Gas Shock Ramp Assist, you’re getting a trailer designed to work with you — not against you — which is exactly what Towro customers expect.
A Better Trailer Experience
At the end of the day, the best trailer features are the ones you notice every time you use them.
The Gas Shock Ramp Assist system isn’t just a spec on paper — it’s something that improves your experience every single time you load and unload.
Less strain. More control. Better performance in every season.
