Expert Answers about Chevrolet Truck Ramps


  • What is the Weight Capacity of the Race Ramps Racing Scale Ramps Part # RR-SCALE
  • The Race Ramps Racing Scale Ramps part # RR-SCALE have a 1,500 lb per ramp capacity. This would be suitable for just the front axle of most pickup trucks. The ramp will provide you with a 2.5" lift and should be just what you need to edge the truck over the concrete curb in your garage. Another similar option we have they you may want to look at is the Race Ramps Trak-Jax Ramps part # RR-TJ which also have a 1,500 lb per ramp capacity but will provide you with a 3" lift.

  • How Long of a Ramp Is Needed for Loading Harley in Truck Bed
  • In general for ramps used to load a Harley you want to go with a ramp that is three times as long as the height of the truck bed. So if that number was 30 inches the Arch Loading Ramp part # 288-07432 would work great as it measures 90 inches and has a 1,500 lb weight capacity. This is our longest single ramp we offer though.

  • Recommended Ramp For Loading Mower on 48 Inch Tall Flat Bed Truck
  • Based on the height of your truck you will more than likely need a 12' ramp like the # GH54FR. You will need to make sure you not only have a safe angle for the ramp to load the mower but also enough clearance based on the angle where the ramp meets the truck bed. You will have to determine what is necessary based on the clearance of the mower you plan to load.

  • Recommended Ramps for Loading Lawn Mowers Into Truck Bed
  • The Arched Loading Ramp Set part # EM07435 is what I recommend using for loading items into a truck bed. The ramps are lightweight at 20 lbs each and they fold for a compact storage. They also come with chains to help secure the ramps while loading. They will work with anything from big wheel ATV's to small wheel lawnmowers due to the close spacing of the horizontal supports.

  • Recommended Ramps For Loading 1690lb UTV In The Bed Of A Truck
  • We have ramps that will work perfectly for loading your 1690lb UTV into the bed of your truck. I recommend the Arched Loading Ramp Set # 288-07432-2 which is 90" long x 18" wide and has a combined weight capacity of 3000lbs. The included safety straps to keep the ramp tight against your tailgate is a great additional safety feature, and since the ramps fold in half storing them will take up half the space. I included a picture of the Arched Loading Ramp Set # 288-07432-2 being used to...

  • Ramps For Loading Golf Cart Onto Truck
  • From what I found it was about 36 inches from the ground to the top of the open tailgate on your F-250, so for a set of ramps to load your golf cart, a 90 inch arched ramp will be great: - Erickson Arched, Aluminum Loading Ramp Set # EM07486

  • What Hitch Cargo Carrier With A Ramp Do You Offer That Is 48 W X 72 L
  • We do offer many hitch cargo carriers with ramps, but none 48" wide. The widest cargo carrier with a ramp we offer is the 32x48 Reese Steel Solo Cargo Carrier and Folding Ramp for 2" Hitches - 400 lbs, part # PS10401-10402. This carrier is 32" wide and the length with the ramp included is 96". It has a 2" hitch and a weight capacity of 400 lbs. It is fairly heavy at 101 lbs. If you have a pickup truck you can go with something like the Mad-Ramps Pivoting Ramp System for ATV/UTV Ramps...

  • Can The Trailer Valet Climb a Ramp Into The Bed Of a Truck Rather Than Lifting?
  • Yes, the Trailer Valet RVR9 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR9 will climb a loading ramp like the # 288-07432 into the back of your truck. I confirmed this with Trailer Valet to ensure that it did not have an out of level sensor that would stop it from working on the ramp. Be sure you are using a ramp that is wide enough as the dolly is 19" wide.

  • Fit & Compatibility of Erickson Ramps on a Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD with Bed Height of 39 Inches
  • There is not a height restriction for the Erickson Ramps # EM07464-2. These could work for your truck and golf cart, after doing some calculations, I found that the angle the golf cart would need to climb with the 80 inch Erickson Ramps # EM07464-2, you were looking at, installed on your Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD will be 29.17 degrees. For a less steep 25 degree incline from ground to truck bed, I recommend the 90 inch long Erickson Ramps # EM07486. I have linked both products to this...

  • How Long of Ramps are Needed to Load Mower into Back of Truck
  • Since mowers have limited ground clearance you need to go with about an 8 foot ramp to load into the back of a truck. For that you'd want something like the CargoSmart Ramp Set part # 3483018 which is 90 inches long.

  • Leveling Ramp Recommendation for F-350 with Truck Bed Camper
  • The FloTool RhinoRamps Max Vehicle Ramp Set # FT11912MI is not designed for use as a leveling jack. It is only designed as a jack to raise both sides of a vehicle up evenly. Basically the manufacturer doesn't want you using these on uneven ground as the ramp was never tested in this setup. Their fear is that the ramp could lose traction or the tire slip off the ramp etc. The part # UF48-979051 is a block setup that is designed for leveling which would be the best option we have.

  • Ramps for Loading Riding Mower into Back of a Pickup Truck 37 from Tail Gate to Ground
  • I have a solution for you, but unfortunately the Arched Loading Ramp # 288-07432-2 set have a maximum safe height of 35", so they would not work for your 37" tall truck bed. You may want to try the Erickson Arched, Aluminum Loading Ramp Set # EM07486. These do not have a specific loading height and these will work as long as the angle of incline less than 30 degrees. Because the Erickson Arched ramps are 90" long and your loading height is 37", you should be in the 25 degree incline...

  • Would the Curt Cargo Carrier FHG69ZR fit a 2006 Ford E-450 Truck
  • As long as you have a trailer hitch with a 2 inch opening at the rear of your Ford E-450 the Flint Hill Goods cargo carrier with ramp part # FHG69VR is going to attach to the vehicle. Most ramped carriers have a 48-inch ramp, which is a concern about the height of the truck causing the slope of the 48" ramp to be too steep. This carrier has a 60-inch ramp which would be much better. You could measure 60 inches sidways from the hitch opening to the ground to check out the slope of this...

  • ATV Ramps Needed For Loading A Kawasaki Mule Into A U-Pack Semi Trailer
  • U-Pack Semi Trailers have a 48" height from the ground whereas the typical application for ATV ramps like the CargoSmart Arched Loading Ramp Set # 3483070 are trailers and truck beds which are usually at most 23" inches in height. Because of this the ramps will be very steep when used on a U-Pack trailer but should allow you to get your Kawasaki Mule loaded. These ramps are rated for 3,000lbs which is almost double the curb weight of your Kawasaki Mule. They have cam-buckle straps to prevent...

  • Can I Use The Mad Ramps With A Lifted Truck?
  • I've used these Mad-Ramps # MR54FR and they are super cool! The lift will not prevent you from using them, the angle of the ramps will just be a little steeper than usual. I recommend bringing out the ramps as far as they can go to help with the steeper angle. When I used them the truck was lifted about 2 inches, more like a leveling kit and it wasn't that steep so it'll be fine for you. If anything just be aware of where you're parking, If you can park on a hill to help counter the lift...

  • Longest Set of Folding Ramps for Loading Generator in Truck Bed
  • The longest folding ramps we have for you is the Arched Loading Ramp Set part # 288-07432 for 1 or part # 288-07432-2 for 2 which are 90" long. The 90" length will ensure the angle that will be required to load the generator in your truck bed is not too steep. They are reasonably priced and very lightweight weighing in at only 23.5 lbs per ramp. The great thing about these ramps is that they have cam buckle safety straps that prevent the ramp from sliding out during loading and unloading.

  • Will Erickson # EM07435 Loading Ramp Work for Loading Push Mower Into Truck Bed
  • The Erickson # EM07435 loading ramps you mentioned would be ideal for getting your push mower up into the bed of your truck. The ramps are relatively light, at around 15lbs apiece, and are constructed of zinc plated steel for corrosion resistance. The ramp features a non-skid surface that'll make it easier to keep your footing while loading your lawn mower.

  • Trailer Ramp Springs Recommendation
  • The heaviest set of springs that I have for ramp doors are the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer part # CB250D96SHD which offers a 250 lb. capacity. This alone will likely not be enough for you. If in your design you can incorporate something like the Ramp Spring 2K Torque for 1-1/2" Shaft part # RS16933RH for the right and part # RS16933LH for the left it could gie you the lifting support you will need. If this is not a viable option using a winch mounted in...

  • 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...

  • Can Arched Loading Ramp # 288-07452 be Used for Loading into Truck Bed
  • The Arched Loading Ramp # 288-07452 that you referenced can definitely be used for loading into a truck bed. Our review video only shows it used on a trailer but it was designed for a trailer or a truck so it would work well for your 2012 Toyota Tacoma. It is really lightweight too at 17 lbs for the set.
