  • How Can Race Ramps Load 6,000 lb Car if They Are Rated For 3,000 lbs Total
  • That's a good question; you're definitely not dumb, and it is accurate that a 6,000 lb car can be loaded using the 74" long Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps - 7" Lift # RR-TR-7. The reason why is the full weight of your car isn't going to be on the ramp at the same time. First the front wheels will be on and by the time the front wheels of your car are on the trailer (and off the ramps), the rear wheels will be on. So only half of the car's weight will be on the # RR-TR-7 at any...

  • 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...

  • Do You Need To Leave Car In Reverse To Use Car Ramps For A 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon
  • When using The FloTool RhinoRamps Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11909MI, The car should be in park when you're on top of the ramps. You will need to double check the vehicle's position and make sure everything is aligned so the ramps can support the vehicle's weight. I attached a review video link below.

  • Ramps for Race Car Trailer for Car with 3.5 inch Ground Clearance
  • Yes I would say a 12-14 foot long ramp would work great for a vehicle with 3.5 inches of ground clearance and trailer height of 19.5 inches like the part # GH34FR which is 14 feet long. Since your trailer does not have a lip for a ramp set your best option would be to install a trailer ramp channel at the rear of it which at this time we do not carry. It would not be an issue for the full weight of your vehicle to be on these ramps. The # GH34FR would work great for you.

  • Looking for 14 Foot Long Car Lift Service Ramps
  • The Race Ramps # RR-CLR-4 Car Lift Service Ramps would meet most of the parameters you're looking for. The ramps are about 15-1/2 feet long, will raise the vehicle by 4 inches and have a 6000 lb capacity (3000 lbs per ramp). The low 3.9 ยบ approach angle makes this system the perfect choice for low-slung vehicles. The ramps can accommodate tires up to 12 inches wide.

  • 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.

  • Can Portions Of The Race Ramps Be Removed After Car Is Elevated?
  • The Race Ramps Portable Pit Stop Ramps can have portions removed after the car is elevated. Not only can you remove the ramps so you can close the garage door, but you can also remove the section or sections between the wheels for access to the undercarriage from the side of your vehicle. I've attached a couple photos to assist.

  • What Ramps Are Good For Loading A Car Onto A Flat Bed Truck
  • I do not think the Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set - 72" x 14-1/2" - 6,000 lbs - Qty 2 # 288-07503 would be the safest set of ramps for this particular job. They can handle the weight of the car no problem but looking at the picture you provided I do no think the angle of the ramps will be low enough to let the car get on the flat bed without bottoming out. I definetly recommend going with a longer set of ramps like the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set - 96" Long x 15" Wide - 10,000...

  • Best Ramp That is Easily Stored for Loading a Smart Car onto a Trailer
  • I have a solution for you, but the CargoSmart Arched Loading Ramps # 3483070 are going to be about 7" tall at their tallest point when laid flat on the ground. If you don't mind folding up the ramps and storing them in the rear cargo area of your Smart Car, I recommend going with the Arched Landing Ramp Set # 288-07432-2 , which fold up to a size of 45-3/4" long x 18" wide x 6" tall. You'll need to measure the area for yourself, but from what I was able to find from my research, these will...

  • Are The Handles On The Stallion Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set # 288-07502 Removable?
  • The handles for the Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set # 288-07502 are welded on to the ramp. They will need to be cut off if they will not fit into your area with the handles attached. The ramps will still be able to be carried by the lips of the ramp as they only weigh 20lbs per ramp.

  • Can I Use The 6,000 Lb Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set To Load A Car

  • 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.

  • Will the Race Ramps Sport Ramps Part RR-40 Work On a Chevy Corvette
  • The Race Ramps Sport Ramps like part # RR-40 are specifically designed for vehicles will low ground clearance so you should not have any issues with this. I don't have a list of vehicles the ramps will work with but the low incline makes these suitable for even the lowest of sports cars. There will be plenty of room underneath for an oil chance once on the ramps.

  • 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...

  • Can FloTool RhinoRamps be Used With Jacks?
  • The FloTool RhinoRamps # FT11909MI can be used to raise your vehicle and work under it but should not be used along with jacks. If you use the ramps to lift the front, for example, you would need to keep the rear wheels on the ground and use wheel chocks such as # FT11930MI to secure those wheels. I've added links to video reviews of both products for you to take a look at.

  • Do Aluminum Car Hauler Ramps Come as a Set
  • Yes, the Aluminum Car Hauler Ramps # 288-07501 do come as a set of two ramps. These ramps are lightweight at just 17 lbs each but have a total capacity of 6,000 lbs so they can handle even large equipment. They also come with safety straps to connect to your trailer so you know the ramps are not going to slip away while you are using them. I have added a link to a video review of these ramps for you to take a look at.

  • 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
