Best Lightweight Loading Ramp for Vehicle with Low Ground Clearance

Question

Question:

I need light weight ramp set that will load my 1991 Mazda Miata with a weight of 2290lbs total with me inside it. I have no idea which ramps I need. I think 10 but could get away with 8 if I use wood extension. Please help

The best loading ramps we offer for vehicles with low ground clearance are the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set like part # 325-GH-R96 which are 8' long. Therefore they should allow for a very shallow approach angle. These ramp are also lightweight at around 50 lbs each so you can move them by yourself.

For a Bobcat 331 that weighs up to 7,500 lbs I'd recommend the 10k ramps part #325-GH-R96 that you referenced which are 96 inches long and 15 inches wide. I attached a picture of a heavier tractor being loaded with these ramps as well as a review…

The range of height for the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set - 96" Long x 15" Wide - 10,000 lbs #325-GH-R96 is 20" - 36". This would be from the ground to the deck. I confirmed this with my contact at Gen-Y.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
