[QUOTE="Jerry Abson 3, post: 871154, member: 65373"] Its downloading now, but I have always thought of a combination of pistons, and cables. Cables like those currently on the trac pulled by pistons to closed, and then possibly another pistong that locks in the gate like those found on the commercial dump trucks to lock thier gate down during transport. I will look at what they have done, and see what can be used. Edit - Well, they show how to wire it and set up the locking / unlocking. That would work on ours too, not much different. Just don't know how its set to auto open. will attach a rough idea I had while back later, I am in the office and don't have access to scanner. [/QUOTE]
