Maximum Amount of Weight That Can Be Applied to 288-07489 Stallion Loading Ramps
Question:
I have a compact tractor that weighs 3500 lbs. for the 288-07489 ramps it says 1500 lbs, per ramp and 3000 lbs. max. Others sites say per axle, is that the case with these ramps. Thanks

Expert Reply:
The 3000 lb capacity would mean that each ramp can handle a maximum of 1500 lbs applied to it or 3000 lbs for the pair. Since your tractor weighs 3500 lbs, I wouldn't use these ramps if the weight from both axles would be on the ramps at the same time. If the tractor's wheelbase is longer than the ramps (65 inches), it would mean that you'd pull the front wheels onto the ramps and by the time the rear wheels were on the ramp, the front wheels would be off so the entire weight of the tractor wouldn't be on the ramps an any one time, which would be fine.
If both axles of the tractor would be on the ramps at the same time, I'd go with a higher rated set of ramps, such as # 288-07503 which is rated for 6000 lbs.
