This AB Tools Bolt On Tailgate Hinge Set is designed for users needing a robust and reliable tailgate or dropside solution for trailers, trucks, and horseboxes. Its primary benefit is the easy bolt-on installation, eliminating the need for welding, while its zinc-plated steel construction ensures durability. A potential caveat is that the 12mm pin, while strong, might be oversized for lighter-duty applications. Key features include a forged steel construction, a 12mm heavy-duty pin, threaded backing plate, and included M8 mounting bolts.

No, these hinges are specifically designed as bolt-on units and do not require any welding for installation.
The set includes M8 mounting bolts.
The tailgate pin has a diameter of 12mm, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
The hinges are constructed from forged steel with a zinc-plated finish for strength and corrosion resistance.
Yes, a threaded backing plate is included for the tailboard side of the hinge.
While robust, these hinges are typically designed for larger applications like trailers and trucks. Compatibility with a car trunk would depend on the size and mounting capabilities.
Ensure the mounting bolts are not over-tightened, which can bind the hinge. Clean any debris from the pin area and apply a light lubricant.
Check that the hinge is mounted straight and level. Ensure the backing plate is properly seated. Minor adjustments to the mounting hole positions may be necessary.
Clean the affected area with a soft cloth. Apply a rust inhibitor or a thin coat of protective oil. Regular cleaning and maintenance will prevent significant corrosion.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This hinge set is designed for use on trailers, trucks, horseboxes, and other custom applications requiring a robust bolt-on tailgate or dropside mechanism. The 12mm pin is suitable for applications requiring significant strength. Ensure the mounting surface is adequate to support the forces applied.
Care:
To maintain optimal performance and corrosion resistance, clean the hinges periodically with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. For extended protection, a light application of grease on the pin can help ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing.
