Expert Answers about Trailer Ramps


  • Looking For Ramp Attachment For Malone Microsport Trailer For Loading Bikes
  • Hello Sondra, thanks for reaching out. It may be possible to add a ramp to your Malone Microsport trailer. There are no ramp attachments made specifically for this trailer though, so the only option will be to try to retrofit a ramp. Something like the Loading Ramp For Inno Tire Hold HD Bike Rack # IN52RR may work. It has a hook on one end that could lean up against the trailer. The ramp itself is about 50" tall so I do suggest you measure to see if this length ramp will sit at an appropriate...

  • Stallion Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set for Twin Axle Trailer
  • The Stallion Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set item # 288-07502 you were looking at would be the perfect fit for your twin axle trailer. These ramps combined have a 6,000 lbs capacity and only weigh 20 lbs per ramp. They are 5' long x 14-1/2" wide x 3-3/4" thick and will work on a trailer up to 16" off the ground.

  • Aluminum Ramps For Car Hauler Trailer Closest to 5' Long x 13" Wide
  • Hey Steve, The aluminum loading ramps we have that are closest to the 5' long x 13" wide measurements you mentioned are the Gen-Y Hitch Aluminum Loading Ramp Set # 325-GH-R72. This set is 6' long x 14" wide so have the right width for your ramp carriers and are just a foot longer than your current set. These weigh 31 lbs per ramp so they're less than half the weight of what you have now, so will be quite a bit easier to handle.

  • Recommended Transition Plate For Enclosed Trailer Ramp Doors
  • Hey Jack, If you're talking about a transition plate then you'll want the etrailer Enclosed Trailer Transition Plate # e32JR. This can be installed on either end of the ramp to help make the transition onto easier or at the hinge of the ramp to ease the transition from the ramp door to the trailer. These plates can expand or retract to fit 4' to 8-1/2' wide trailer ramps. They're very heavy duty and super easy to install, especially with Jake's installation video which I've attached below.

  • Can The Aluminum Car Hauler Ramps # 288-07503 Be Used As A Ramp Extension?
  • Hello Loyd. The Aluminum Car Hauler Ramps # 288-07503 are not meant to be used as a ramp extension. If you are looking for a ramp extension to decrease your approach angle take a look at the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps # RR-TR-7. This is a 74" long ramp extension that will decrease your approach angle by about 5.5 degrees. These ramps are available in different sizes and you can see our full selection using the link below. Feel free to comment below if you have any other questions.

  • Will Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps Help With Loading A Lowered 1955 Chevy Onto A Trailer?
  • Hey Mark, thanks for reaching out. That car is awesome! The Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps are definitely going to help with the clearance issues when loading and unloading. Anything you can do to decrease the approach angle is going to help a lot. The # RR-TR-5 you mentioned are 67" long and will decrease the approach angle by 4.3 degrees. I suggest going with as long of a ramp as you can, so if you have room for something larger, the 74" long # RR-TR-7 is a great option. It will...

  • Can The Replacement Lower Spring RA-DB4 Be Used For A Hose Trailer Ramp Spring?
  • Hello John, thanks for getting in touch. The # RA-DB4 spring you mentioned is designed to be a replacement for the lower spring of the Rack'Em Double Barrel trailer tailgate lift assist, part # RA-27C. I really can't recommend using it for anything other than that, since there is no guarantee it will work. If your current ramp springs are the same size (18-1/2" long and 1-1/2" wide) it may be a suitable replacement, but you would be better off using a spring that is intended to be used...

  • How to Make Equipment Trailer Ramps Easier to Lift and Lower
  • Hey Gary, we might actually have easier options for what you are looking for that I think you'd be happier with. Since it's an equipment trailer I imagine it has the standard heavy metal ramps that pivot on a 1-1/2 inch diameter shaft (I'd double check to be sure) which would allow you to use a spring like the part # RS16933RH for the right hand side and part # RS16933LH. These will make the ramps feel WAY lighter and would be way easier to deal with than moving a winch around. I attached...

  • Rubber Mat for Horse Trailer Ramp
  • Hey Joanne, I think I've found what you're looking for with the Surehoof Ribbed Rubber Trailer Mat # 4872SM. This measures 48" x 72" which I would think is enough to cover your ramp and help your horse feel a little more comfortable and secure walking up the ramp. For something larger, we have the Black Armour Heavy-Duty Trailer Mat # BA96AR, which measures 5' wide x 7' long, but that might be a bit too much.

  • Recommended Conventional Ramp Door Spring with Longer Cable
  • Jared, the 150" long cables that come with the Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer # M354FR are unfortunately the only size offered with that part. What you could do instead, is buy the Replacement Cables for Conventional Ramp Door Spring # M339FR which is 174" and will work with the Ramp Door Spring # M354FR.

  • Will Door Cables On Enclosed Cargo Trailer Need To Be Changed If Trailer Is Lifted
  • Hi DL; that is really hard to say for sure without you checking yourself. The # K71-384-00 will lift your trailer by the diameter of the axle (2-3/8") plus the height of the leaf spring stack. To figure this out you can try to look and see how much able is left coiled up with the ramp down. If it is too hard to tell you could lower the ramp and carefully jack the trailer up to see how far the ramp door will extend down. You could also drop the door over an incline, like a driveway, to...

  • Trailer Ramp Spring Recommendation for 90x74 Trailer Door
  • Thanks for reaching out, Dennis! I recommend going with the 230 lb capacity Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer # 362SA8HD for your application. Although I don't know the exact weight of your trailer door, according to my research your door should weigh in somewhere a little over 200 lbs so this ensures that most (if not all) of the weight of your door can be handled by the spring.
