Kartrite 2x Heavy Duty Aluminium Loading Ramps - 2m

Timber planks and a bit of hope is how most people load a ride-on mower into a trailer, right up until a plank splits. This pair of rated aluminium ramps spans 2 m from the ground to the deck and carries a real machine.

Rated for the heavy stuff, not just bikes

The supplier quotes capacity two ways and both agree: 3640 lb / 1650 kg per ramp, 3300 kg for the pair. Headroom matters more than the number suggests, because a machine driving up a ramp applies a shifting, bouncing load rather than a static one. At 200 cm long the ramps reach a 60 cm loading height, which covers most box and car trailers. Each weighs 16 kg, so one person can set them out without help.

Traction, and a latch that stops the walk-back

The worst moment in a load is the ramp creeping backwards off the trailer lip while the front wheels climb. A removable latch slots into a suitable point on the trailer and holds each ramp there as weight transfers. Along the running surface, raised metal ribs give tyres something to bite when the alloy is wet or muddy. At 30 cm wide, each ramp leaves room for error either side of a tyre.
