• Solution for Adding Traction to Car Hauler Loading Ramp
• To help get your car up the ramp door, I recommend taking a look at the Erickson Tough Tread Strips # EM08010. These are durable tread strips that will do a great job of providing a non-slip surface and extra traction for the tires on your car as it drives up the ramp. The strips measures 4 inches wide and 17-1/2 inches long and can be cut to size if needed. They will apply quickly with their 3M adhesive backing. Two strips are included. I have attached a short video demonstration on...

• Recommended Ramps To Load My 2,500 Lbs Smart Car On My 48" High Toy Hauler
• The Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set - 144" Long x 15" Wide - 8,000 lbs, part # GH54FR, is the best option we have for you to load your smart car on a trailer that is 48" high. Unfortunately, we do not offer a version of this ramp that folds. The longest folding aluminum ramp we offer is the Arched Loading Ramp Set - Center Fold - Aluminum - 90" x 18" - 3K, part # 288-07432-2. This set of ramps has a weight limit of 3,000 lbs. These ramps would have to be at a very steep angle to...

• Loading Ramp Recommendation for Low Clearance Vehicles in Enclosed Trailer
• I have the perfect solution for your car business! I recommend using the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps # RR-TR-8XL as they are 74" long and they have a lip that you'll nestle the ramp from your trailer into for easy and effective car loading. Since these are longer and only have an 8" rise they are the best option for low-sitting vehicles, and each ramp only weighs in at 14 lbs so they're pretty easy to move around.

• Recommended Ramps To Load Car In Car Hauler Without Bottoming Out
• You have a very unique situation. We don't have anything specific to help you with your angle directly, however, you have already done a lot of the work figuring angles and rise needed. I recommend using the Race Ramps Rack Ramps - 5" Lift - Qty 2, # RR-RACK-5. This at its highest point will give you the 6 inches you need of lift and you can gradually step it down with Race Ramps Racing Scale Ramps - Qty 2, # RR-SCALE-2. This will give you the lift and relief from lift when you need...

• Recommended Car Hauler Ramp Set For Trailer With 15" Loading Height
• I have another option for you, but due to the length of the ramp you would not want to use the Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set - 48" x 14-1/2" # 288-07501 any higher than 12" as it could cause the ramp to not be secure and will be a pretty steep angle. Instead I recommend the Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set - 72" x 14-1/2" # 288-07503 which is designed for a maximum loading height of 16" which is prefect for your trailer that is 15" from the ground. I included a video of the Aluminum Car Hauler...

• Recommended Loading Ramp For Maserati With 12 Inch Wide Tires
• The Stallion # 288-07503 Car Hauler Ramps are a total of 14-1/2 inches wide, which includes the raised edges. These ramps would accommodate your 12 inch wide tires but keep in mind that the tire would ride on the raised edges. I'd suggest going with something without the raised edges like the # 325-GH-R72 from Gen-Y. We do have some ramps that are a bit wider, but they lack the capacity needed for a passenger vehicle

• Ramp Solution to Help Get Lower Sports Cars on Kaufman Gooseneck Car Hauler
• If the current ramps you are using caused the spoiler of the C7 Z to break that would indicate that you would want one that is definitely longer than what you have now and possibly taller as well. Have you tried setting the Race Ramps at the base of the 6 foot Vevor ramp to make the transition as long as possible and therefore allow the transition to be super gradual? The Race Ramps part # RR-TR-11-2 would be a great option for that although it's not what I would consider inexpensive....

• What Car Loading Ramps Can I Use for Van Trailers 48 Inches High?
• For a ramp used to load vehicles, it is important to have a high maximum weight capacity. With that being said, I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set - 144" Long x 15" Wide - 8,000 lbs # 325-GH-R96. The Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Ramp has a per-ramp weight capacity of 5,000 pounds (10,000 pounds total). As far as the 48-inch rise requirement, the Gen-Y is a great choice. I went ahead and attached a video that shows the ramp being used on the side of a trailer that is about 36...

• Availability of Ramp Springs for a Car Hauler Trailer
• We have a couple different options that may work. But it is going to depend on the setup of your trailer which would be the best option. If you have an enclosed trailer an overhead ramp spring like the part # CB250D96SHD would be your best option. If instead the trailer is open and the ramps are on a 1-1/2 inch shaft you would instead want the part # RS16933RH. Feel free to email back with more details on your trailer. Pictures of the ramp area would be great too.

• Determining if Race Ramps Hook-Nosed Rack Ramps Will Work with 4 Post Car Lift
• The Race Ramps Hook-Nosed Rack Ramps # RR-RACK-HN14-4 referenced in your question are designed specifically for 4-post lifts like your Dannmar Commander so they should work very well. I have attached an image with the ramp measurements labeled that you can take a look at. Simply compare them to your lift where the ramps will attach to ensure that they will fit perfectly. From the ground to the bottom of the hook there is a distance of 3-1/2 inches. The base has an overall height of 4 inches....

• Does Stallion Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set Have Lip to Drop Into Gap At End of Trailer
• I believe you are referring to the 1" prongs on the Stallion Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set # 288-07503 that are designed to grab onto the small gap at the end of most trailers. This not only provides a secure connection when loading/unloading, but when paired with the slope design at the end of the ramp also helps to create a smooth path all the way up and into the trailer. I have attached a couple images that point out this feature on the ramp that you can take a look at as well. If you...

• Recommended Loading Ramps for a Motorcycle with a Sidecar
• With how wide you set up is with the side car, I suggest going with the Erickson Arched, Aluminum Loading Ramp Set # EM07486. Most of the long sets like this are designed to be used on a trailer or truck bed that is no higher than 35 inches, but this one is not limited at all. This is also rated up to 3,000 pounds and are 90 inches long by 12 inches wide. The only downside to these are that they are not folding.

• Can a Spring Latch Pin be Used to Hold Trailer Ramps On a Trailer
• The 7/16 inch diameter of the pin in the latch pin # SL716SS is on the small side for heavy car trailer ramps. It does not have an official capacity but if it were me I would do with something with a larger diameter. Spring latch # SL58W has a 5/8 inch pin. It and the 7/16 inch latch pin do not have weight ratings but they are meant for trailer doors which are not all that heavy. I recommend just using a hitch pin with clip, # PC3. Hitch pins are meant for more weight and you would have...

• Car Hauler Ramp Spring Options to Help with Heavy Ramp
• I don't know how wide your rear door is but we have an 8 foot wide rear door we have the 120 lb kit part # M354FR or for a 7 foot wide option we have the part # ERS120D81. These are for enclosed style trailers. If you have a open trailer with side rails you could instead use the Gorilla Lift part # GL1 to help with the ramp.

• Winch Recommendation for a Car Hauler for Loading Up Cars
• Yes, since the vehicles you would be winching on your car hauler are a rolling load a winch like the part # SW1145220 which has a 4,500 lb capacity would work well. Even if you ramps had a 60 percent angled ramp this winch could pull up to 7,488 lbs.

• Trailer Ramps That Minimize Tire Slippage for Loading Lawn Mower
• I have a solution for you and you might be able to make the Car Hauler ramps you were looking at work without worry about slippage, but I think we can offer something better. From what I've seen, even if you've got molded wheels on your mower they likely have some sort of rubber treading to provide traction on a variety of surfaces. Because of this, you should be able to use the Car Hauler Ramp Set # 288-07501 without worrying about slippage- but we also have to worry about the width...
