Can Race Ramps be Placed Side By Side to Load Motorcycles onto a Trailer

Question

Question:

I build high end motorcyces which are low to the ground - I thought I could use your ramps by placing them together in the center of my trailer ramp to provide me a ride on ramp to the trailer?

For vehicles that are low to the ground the longer the ramp is the better because the amount of lift is more gradual over a longer distance. If you like the Race Ramps we have # RR-TR-8XL which are 6 feet long so for every foot of ramp the height increases by about 1.4 inches up to the total of 8 inches.

But you would know the best height and length to use based on the height of the trailer floor from the ground and the amount of ground clearance the bikes have. You could certainly place the ramps side by side if needed though you may need to fabricate something to keep them from separating while you are on them.

On another note my wife says I can't buy a motorcycle but she never said anything about someone giving me a motorcycle (hint hint)!
