Default Two trailers both need work...opinions? video

Trying to figure out what direction to go with these 2 trailers.. I would think strengthening the one with the ramp would be the easiest/cheapest route. But the green one is smaller and stronger. I've used the green one to trailer a different bike and it works but rigging up a ramp was a royal PITA so I would want a ramp like on the other trailer. Not looking to take the ramp from one and modify it to the other one. Someone near me is selling a 28 x 48 wheel chair ramp that goes on a hitch. I was thinking about buying that and using it for a ramp but not sure how strong those things are.

Any opinions as to the best route to take?

No feedback on which direction to go so I called a local trailer guy. He said he could weld me a new expanded steel gate and weld it to the trailer for $325. I priced the material and it came out to over $100 so for a couple hundred in labor its done the right way by somebody who knows what there doing. He said to bring the other one down to see about reinforcing it which I'll do...probably going to go with the gate
