- The only ramps we offer without hooks that can load your 1979 Chevrolet Corvette that are close to 12' are the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps - 11" Lift - 136-7/8" Long - Qty 2, part # RR-TR-11-2. Instead of hooks, they have a lip for the transport ramp to rest upon.
Unfortunately, the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set - 144" Long x 15" Wide - 8,000 lbs, part # GH54FR, is not available without the hook.
I have included a product description link and a video review link below.

- The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 and Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033 do have very similar designs as they are both intended to carry a motorcycle up to 500lbs. The both will fit a 2" receiver and include a ramp for easier loading and unloading.
The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier # e98873 is the one I prefer as it has the outer tie down points, and the 40" diamond plate ramp. For me the longer, smooth ramp will make it easier to move the bike up and down the ramp. This carrier...

- The big difference between the Yakima # Y36FR OnRamp and the Swagman # S94FR E-Spec is how the rack grasps the bike frames and the fact that the Yakima OnRamp features an on-board ramp that makes loading the bikes much easier.
The E-Spec has a 70 lb per bike capacity, while the OnRamp's capacity is 66 lb per bike. The E-Spec has ratcheting hooks that can be ran down to grab the frame top tube or an adapter bar like # 64005 while the OnRamp grabs the bike by the seat post tube, which fits...

- The Optronics Transit LED Backup Light, part # BUL90CB would be a brighter light than the Optronics Sealed, Oval LED Trailer Utility Light, part # BUL78CB. It would work great for a lighting up the area behind your boat trailer for loading a boat in the dark.
The # BUL90CB is also a submersible light which means it has a sealed, waterproof housing and lens. This will be be a good feature since you are using this light on the back of a boat trailer that will be backing down a boat ramp....

view full answer... - Which Piano Hinge will Work the Best on a Trailers Ramp Extension
- Determining between piano hinges, # H300 3 Inch Wide Steel 6 Ft Long or # SH200 2 Inch Wide Stainless Steel Hinge 6 Ft Long, depends what features you find more important for your application.
The # H300 hinge will be stronger in that it is an inch wider than the # SH200. Plus, the extra width will allow for more surface area on the hinge to mount to the trailer making for a stronger hinge.
However, if weather conditions are a concern, the # SH200 is made of stainless steel. The stainless...

- E-Bike batteries can not be installed on the bikes while hauling them on a bike rack for both weight and safety reasons. If anyone rear ended you the batteries could be damaged and cause a fire.
The Hollywood Racks Sport Rider you referenced has been discontinued and replaced with the Sport Rider SE # HLY74FR, which would still fit the 1-1/4" class 2 receiver hitch opening and has an 80lb per bike capacity. Depending on if your frame is step through or not you may also need a frame adapter...
view full answer... - Which Spindle Height of Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension for Car Trailer
- The drop spindle model you mentioned, part # A35RD545E would be used over the straight spindle model, part # A35RS545E if you wanted a lower deck height on your car trailer. Since you are most likely already using ramps, I cannot see how you would benefit from further lowering the trailer deck height. The straight spindle model would place your spindle center about 4 inches below the mounting surface of the unloaded trailer. The drop spindle model would place the spindle center about 1/4...

- Both the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C and Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT53012C will work well for long distance trips with their radial construction. They are both designed to fit a 12" x 4" wheel so you can change to the larger size as long as you have the necessary tire clearance. The 5.30R12 is 21.57" in diameter and 5.39" wide, while the 4.80R12 is 20.63" in diameter and 4.84" wide. Do remember as this is a boat trailer the higher you raise it with...
view full answer... - What is Difference Between Tow Pro Elite and Liberty Redarc Brake Controllers
- The Redarc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR has both the proportional mode and time-delayed mode whereas the Redarc Tow Pro Liberty # RED24FR just has the much preferred proportional mode. This allows it to cost a little less. Basically it's the best portion of the Elite without the less frequently used time-delayed feature.
Proportional means that it can sense you are pressing the truck brakes and then apply a similar amount of braking power on the trailer brakes whereas time-delayed means it...
view full answer... - What is Difference between Time Delayed and Proportional Brake Controller
- A time delay controller like the part # 80550 is so named because there is a delay between the time that you initially apply the brakes in your tow vehicle and the time that the controller reaches maximum preset power output. Unlike a proportional brake controller, which activates your trailer's brakes based on the deceleration of your tow vehicle, a time-delayed controller sends power out in the same way, with the same gradual delay, no matter the braking situation. Although this delay...

- The beam for the # TLL46FB is 10 ft wide at its widest point and the beam extends up to 130 ft. The optimal width is at about 65 ft. The beam is more narrow at around 5 feet wide at 30 ft. This may work well for you.
I called my contact at Optronics about part # TLL60FB. They told me that they have not tested the light dispersion for this light as was done on the TLL46FB. The # TLL60FB has 6 diodes so the amount of light would be reduced by 1/3 versus the TLL46FB which has 9 diodes so...

- Both Pro Series cargo carriers can handle the 270 pound snow blower. The difference is that # 63153 is 24x60 inches rated for 500 pounds and meant for use in a 2 inch hitch receiver. The # 63155 is 20x47 inches rated for 300 pounds and is meant for use in a Class I or II hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver. The weight of the carrier and the snow blower can't exceed the tongue weight capacity of the hitch. This information will be printed on a sticker affixed to the hitch.

view full answer... - Value of Replacing Load Range B Tires on Older 3-Motorcycle Trailer With Load Range C Tires
- Replacing your original Load Range B trailer tires on your 3-motorcycle trailer with higher weight- and pressure-rated Load Range C tires will not result in additional stress to your trailer axle or suspension. It is also unlikely to alter the ride quality of the loaded trailer to any degree that would be noticeable.
Generally the various components in a trailer (tires,wheels, hubs, axles) are selected to have common or similar ratings; altering one component in a system will not increase...
view full answer... - Which is Actually Better? a Proportional or Time-Delayed Trailer Brake Controller
- Proportional brake controllers like the Prodigy P3 part # 90195 are by far the better choice over time delayed. Proportional controllers use internal sensors to determine how hard your trailer brakes should be applied based on how hard they sense you are applying the vehicles brakes. A time-delayed controller applies a set amount of braking force that ramps up over a set amount of time and then stays at that force till the brakes are released. If you think about how often you apply the...

- Between the Draw-Tite hitch # 76253 and the EcoHitch # 306-X7381 that both fit your 2019 Subaru Ascent if it were my money I would get the Draw-Tite.
Both hitches will take about the same time for installation (2+ hours) but because the Draw-Tite costs much less than the EcoHitch I would go that route.
But if you prefer a USA-made hitch then the EcoHitch model is currently the only such option. And you might care to check out the two articles on hitch bike carriers that may help you in...

Our best option for a reduced storage situation is the Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly with Disc Brakes # DM9713045. This is actually a premium option that has folding ramps (as opposed to removing and storing them) and a foldable tongue...
