Expert Answers about Chevrolet Trailer Ramps
- Recommended Ramps for Loading Can Am Slingshot in Toy Hauler Trailer
- It would be ideal if the middle ramp is longer than the two outside ramps while loading. This would ensure there are minimal ground clearance issues but there are a multitude of factors that would come into play so it's hard to predict this beforehand. I suggest the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps part # RR-TR-5 for the outside wheels and the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps part # RR-TR-7 for the center wheel.
Unfortunately, the ramps are sold as sets.
view full answer... - Weight Capacity of the Rack'Em Trailer Ramp Assist part # RA-27C
- The capacity of the Rack'Em part # RA-27C would be the lifting strength of the unit. That means that if it required less than 200 lbs of lifting strength to lift the ramp of the ground it would help. Now with varying length ramps and side rail heights being factored in that figure can make things a bit harder to determine but if your ramp weighs less than 200 lbs this will work well with it.

- The Redline Ramp Spring like part # RS16933RH and part # RS16933LH will help with lifting the ramps you said you are building for your trailer. I would recommend 1 spring for each ramp.
These springs are made of steel alloy, these springs provide approximately 90 degrees of deflection and are designed to help lift a ramp with 2,000 pounds of torque.

- We have a couple options for trailer ramps springs. The first one will work great if your ramp rides on a 1-1/2 inch shaft.
For that you would want the Ramp Spring - 2K Torque for 1-1/2" Shaft - RH # RS16933RH or # RS16933LH.
Or we have ramp springs like the Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring - Dual, 81" Wide # ERS120D81, this spring installs like a garage door spring. There is a lot of tension, so you want to make sure it is installed by someone who knows how to compress these springs and...

- 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...

- For the ramps of your load trail 20 ft trailer we have ramps springs like the part # RS16933RH for the right hand side and the # RS16933LH for the left hand side but your ramps would need to be on a 1-1/2 inch shaft for these to fit.
Check out the review video I attached for these springs for you to check out as well.

- The ramps we offer for a trailer to load equipment like lawn mowers, or snow blowers are not designed as a single piece that will fold up as you mentioned.
The ramps I recommend is the Erickson Arched Loading Ramp Set, part # EM07435. This is a steel ramp set with 2 ramps that measure 72-inches long and 9-inches wide. Each ramp has a weight capacity of 500-lbs for a total capacity of 1,000-lbs. When folded, these ramps measure 26-1/2 inches long x 9 inches wide x 6 inches tall and weigh...
view full answer... - Options for Trailer Ramp Lift Springs for Ramps that Weigh Well Over 100 lbs
- If it's a utility trailer with side rails I recommend you use the part # RS16933LH and # RS16933RH. An alternative if you have the side rails on your utility trailer is # RA-27C as it is designed for helping lift trailer ramps.
If you have an enclosed trailer you could use the part # CB250D96SHD as an overhead torsion spring to help lift the ramps. This is rated for 250 lbs capacity for an enclosed trailer ramp.

- I have a solution for you.The main concern I would warn you about in this scenario is that if the weight that is either distributed on the ground or on the trailer exceeds 1500 pounds for even a brief instant, it could not just potentially damage your CargoSmart S-Curve Loading Ramp Set - Center Fold - 90" x 12" - 1,500 lbs # 3483086-2 or trailer, it could also be dangerous for the operator and any bystanders around the area. For this reason, I wouldn't recommend it.
With that being said,...
view full answer... - Ramp Lift Springs for a Trailer with a 7 Foot Long and 2 Foot Wide Steel Ramp
- If your 7-foot long and 2 foot wide ramp is heavy enough then you would use ramp springs such as # RS16933LH and # RS16933RH. But each of these springs produces 2,000 foot pounds of torque so they may be way too strong for your ramp. If you can tell me how much the ramp weighs I can determine if these springs would be a good fit.
Based on the material and size I am willing to say the ramp is probably too light for this type of spring. Another option that could work for you is the trailer...

- For an 18 inch trailer deck height that has a 6,000 lb capacity there is one option for loading ramps, from Gen-Y:
- Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set - 84" Long x 14" Wide - 6,000 lbs # 325-GH-R84
The # 325-GH-R84 ramps are for deck heights between 15 and 36 inches, so they are perfect for your 18 inch deck height.

view full answer... - Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring # 362SW61 Recommendation for a Motorcycle Ramp Style Door
- I would recommend you use a Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring # 362SW61 like you referenced. This kit is close in length to the width of your trailer door and should work well as a ramp assist spring kit.
I've attached a video to assist with the winding of the springs because this system is not the high torque that you need professional assistance to install.

- The Gorilla Lift part # GL1 that you referenced could be used on a bi-fold style trailer ramp, but you should note that it would not help at all for extending the second folded portion of the ramp. It would with the first portion of the ramp though.

- We do not have the Ramp you need, but we do have the hardware you would need to add a ramp to your 2002 Sundowner Gooseneck Horse Trailer. You will want a ramp door hinge like the Polar # PLR1902. You will weld the outside cylinders of the hinge to the trailer and the center section will be welded to the ramp you are adding.
Another option is to use the 3" Wide Continuous Stainless Steel Hinge, 6' Long # SH300.
To hold the ramp in place for travel, I recommend the 36" Lock Side-Door...
view full answer... - Would Loading Ramp Set # 288-07489 Help Prevent Mower From Bottoming Out Loading in to Trailer
- What will help prevent the bottoming out is a ramp set that is longer and has a bit of an upward bow like the # 288-07489 has.
Without knowing the length of your current ramps I can't say if these would be an improvement in that area. These are 65 inches long though.
view full answer... - Can Barn Doors of Trailer Ramp be Changed to Ramp Door
- Most likely it's possible but the level of modification you'll need to do is hard to say. We have ramp door hinge kits like the part # PLR1904-Z which you'd weld to the back of the trailer and then attach a ramp door to. But most likely you won't be able to reuse the barn doors and you'll have to come up with a ramp.
view full answer... - Could Arched Loading Ramps part # 288-07432 Help Loading a Can Am Spyder
- Using three of the Arched Loading Ramps part # 288-07432 that you referenced would most likely work great as the ramps are long and arched which allows them to help prevent "high centering" as they motorcycle makes the transition from ramp to trailer.
These are 90 inches long though so you'd have to compare that to your toy hauler to know for sure. Since I don't know how tall your trailer is or how long the ramp is it's hard to say how much different this would be.

- Yes, if you wanted to install the ramp spring part # RS16933RH in the center of a ramp it would work in that orientation.
I attached a picture that shows a ramp with the springs mounted more towards the center.
view full answer... - 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...
view full answer... - Rear Ramp Door Lift Spring Recommendation for Enclosed Trailer
- For enclosed trailer ramp/doors the best option is the style of spring that mounts to the top of the rear door frame and pulls the ramp up like the Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring # 362SA6. The Gorilla Lift you mentioned only works on utility trailer with raised bed rails.
