Im looking for car loading ramps that can be used to load vehicles on van trailers that are 48inch high. These are semi - truck trailers. Looking for heavy duty aluminum trailer ramps.

For a ramp used to load vehicles, it is important to have a high maximum weight capacity. With that being said, I recommend the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set - 144" Long x 15" Wide - 8,000 lbs # 325-GH-R96. The Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Ramp has a per-ramp weight capacity of 5,000 pounds (10,000 pounds total). As far as the 48-inch rise requirement, the Gen-Y is a great choice. I went ahead and attached a video that shows the ramp being used on the side of a trailer that is about 36 inches (at time stamp 1:49). The ramp also has a width of 15 inches, which will give you plenty of room to accommodate vehicle tires.
