Why is there a Height Limit on Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set 288-07502
Question:
Why are these ramps liminted to 16inch heigth
asked by: Norman C
Expert Reply:
The height restriction on ramp set # 288-07502 has to do with the distribution of the weight, ability for tires to grip, and clearance between the tops of the ramps and the vehicle rolling up them. The shorter the ramp the more severe the angle will be as the loading height increases.
You could go with longer (and tougher) ramps using the Gen-Y options such as # 325-GH-R72, # 325-GH-R84, or # 325-GH-R96. These ramps will last pretty much forever since Gen-Y is known for making products that just don't break (easily) or wear out (quickly).
