Aluminum Ramps, 1250lbs, Straight Ramp with Treads and Load Straps, Portable Loading Ramp for Motorcycles, ATVs, Trucks, Lawn Mower, Dirt Bike, Garden Tractor, 78"L x 12"W, 2Pcs

Loading a dirt bike into a tray on your own is where most people improvise: a couple of planks, a milk crate and a lot of hope. This pair of 78-inch aluminium ramps replaces that, with a stepped tread, load straps and a set of gloves, so the whole job becomes one trip up a fixed surface.

Read the capacity figure carefully

The supplier quotes up to 1250 lbs without stating whether that applies to a single ramp or to the pair working together. We are not going to guess, and neither should you. Treat 1250 lbs as the supplier's figure with an unstated basis and size your load well under it until the manufacturer clarifies which it is. The same caveat covers the quoted 20.7 lbs ramp weight, which is likewise not specified as per ramp or per set. The supplier's own instruction is plain enough: do not exceed the weight capacity.

Grip that still works when the tread is wet

The running surface is drilled with non-slip holes rather than stamped with a pattern, and that does two jobs at once. The raised edge around each hole bites into a tyre, while rainwater drains straight through instead of pooling on the deck. A stair-step layout spreads a wheel's load across several rungs at a time, and the main beam runs 2 inches (about 5 cm) thick, which is the part doing the real work when a loaded bike is halfway up. Welds are dressed smooth, with no sharp edge waiting to open a knuckle.

Key features

• Extension plate: the top lip lies flat on the tray so a wheel rolls over the join rather than dropping into it.
• Adjustable safety straps: anchor each ramp to the vehicle so it cannot kick out under a driven wheel.
• Drilled tread: the holes add friction and clear water off the surface.
• Hollow stair-step sections: keep the ramps light enough to reposition on your own.
• Gloves supplied: a pair of thick gloves is included for handling.

Before you fit these

• The 1250 lbs capacity has no stated basis, per ramp or per pair. Size conservatively until it is confirmed.
• These are straight ramps with no arch, so check ground clearance on a low-slung machine before driving up.
• Fit and tension the safety straps every time. The supplier's stability claims assume the ramps are strapped down.

Suited to motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, mowers and garden tractors. Work well inside the rating and they will handle the loading you would rather not do by hand.
