It is very simple to remove the tail gate. All you have to do is remove the cotter pins (one on each side) and remove the hinge pins.

Can the rear gate be removed?

Quite easily. One pulls the cotter keys from the mounting pins and slides out the pins and the gate is free.

For Item #125956, how much assembly is required?
-
Skykingtom· 15 years ago
The trailer comes packed in a large cardboard box which is about eight or nine inches thick. It is completely disassembled. It is kind of like putting a large puzzle together. I actually enjoyed putting it together. All you need is common sense and a few tools.

Actually, quire a lot. The only thing pre-assembled is the frame, and all the rails, the tongue, the axle and wheels have to be assembled. It took me at least eight hours to put it together properly, and I'm a retired professional in the trucking and heavy equipment industry. Plus, I have a lot of tools, a shop crane, etc. to make it easier to move heavy parts. That said, nearly anyone, if they are careful, can properly assemble it, and properly put together, it's a strong, well-made trailer.

The North Star trailer is a kit, and would have to be put together. The bed and the gate are each one piece, and would need to be attached.

Does the rear gate fold down to the deck floor to allow long cargo?
-
Skykingtom· 15 years ago
The rear gate folds forward on to the trailer floor. I would recommend that you put some sort of padding (like a towell or large sponge) to keep it from rattling and to protect the paint.

It does, but has no stops to hold it level with floor, so it drops clear to the ground. As I felt it needed safety chains to prevent the gate from dropping in the event the latches came undone on the highway, I rigged up a pair, and also set them up where they hold the gate level with the floor when needed, so I can haul long objects.

Yes it will fold down to the deck to allow long cargo. You can also remove the pins for the gate to completely remove it.
