If you are wanting to use ramp springs like part # RS16933LH (left hand), and part # RS16933RH (right hand), you will want to know the diameter of your trailer hinge pin. These springs are designed for 1-1/2 inch diameter pins. The springs have 2,000 lbs of torque, so they should be able to handle your 300 lb ramps with no problem. I would only use one on each ramp and see how it performs before adding a second spring.

As you mentioned, we do offer the Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring - 81 Inch Wide, # ERS120D81. This ramp spring needs a minimum of 56 inches in order for the drums and cables to wind properly. With your rear ramp door being 66 inches wide, this ramp spring would work for your trailer. The weight capacity is 120 pounds.
I pulled the Enclosed Trailer Ramp Spring - 96 Inch, # CB250D96SHD, from our warehouse and also spoke with my contact at M-3 to see if there was any way that this would work... view full answer...
We don't have much in the way of ramp parts; of the things you mentioned, the only things we have are ramp springs for a 1-1/2" round shaft. If that's what your trailer has we have the Ramp Spring - 2K Torque for 1-1/2" Round Shaft - Left # RS16933LH and Right # RS16933RH. view full answer...
To test the weight of your ramp door, you will want to get the door all the way down to the ground and then on a scale of some kind (a bathroom scale can be used for this if it's the only thing available). This will be when the door is at its heaviest point. As long as this weight is 230 pounds or less, the TRC Conventional Ramp Door Spring for 8' Wide Enclosed Trailer # 362SA8HD will be a great option and will definitely make lifting the ramp significantly easier.
With that being said,... view full answer...

To determine the correct weight springs you will need a scale to determine how much weight is on the door when it lays out on the ground. You will place the scale on the ground in the center of the landing path of the door edge. This will tell you how much of the door weight is on the ground when fully open. Be sure not to go with a spring that is rated for more weight than your door or you might run into issues of the door trying to close after you lower it.

The Replacement M-3 Universal Mounting Kit for Conventional Ramp Door Springs # M389FR is only rated for use with M-3 conventional ramp door spring kits and hasn't been tested with residential garage door springs and pulleys. If you're looking for a replacement for your home then you would want to check out your local hardware store. view full answer...
The whole assembly (81 inches wide) can be trimmed down as short as 62 inches long, so it would work perfectly at 72 inches.. The spring has a capacity of 120 lbs.
We strongly recommend having a professional overhead door technician install the spring for you. The spring needs to be tensioned, and if it lets loose accidentally it would fling tools at high enough velocity to easily kill someone so it isn't a good job for a do-it-yourselfer. view full answer...
Yes, the Trailer Valet RVR9 Remote-Controlled Trailer Dolly # TVRVR9 will climb a loading ramp like the # 288-07432 into the back of your truck. I confirmed this with Trailer Valet to ensure that it did not have an out of level sensor that would stop it from working on the ramp. Be sure you are using a ramp that is wide enough as the dolly is 19" wide. view full answer...
There are a couple of options for single ramps you can use for your motorcycle trailer:
- Arched Loading Ramp # 288-07452
- Erickson Arched Loading Ramp # EM07464
The # 288-07452 measures 88-9/16" long x 13" wide and has a 750 lb capacity while the # EM07464 is 80" long x 11" wide and has an 800 lb capacity.
Both are center-folding, though the # 288-07452 is aluminum compared to the steel construction of the # EM07464 so it is lighter (17.3 lbs vs. 30 lbs) and a bit easier to handle,... view full answer...
The ribbing runs parallel with the 48" side of the # 4872SM. If you laid it across your 72" ramp it would be vertical running down the ramp. view full answer...
In regards to the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps like part # RR-TR-6, these are made of EPS high density foam. EPS does not absorb water however, water can work its way through the foam under pressure or by gravity force. If the water gets trapped it can lead to mold and mildew. That said, it won't hurt them if they get wet even once in awhile but I don't recommend permanent storage outside and you'd want to be sure to dry them properly after each use they are subjected to water.

TheBuyers Products Wheel Chocks, part # 337WC1086UWH would certainly add some insurance when you are loading or unloading your boat on a ramp.
These chocks measure 10" long x 8-1/4" wide x 6" tall. You want to also make sure you turn the engine off and apply the emergency brake when on the ramp. You can never be too cautious. view full answer...
On solid pavement, the Trailer Valet can handle a slope up to 5 degrees, but when going up a grade, the # TVRVR3-BB225 can only be used to push a trailer, not pull it so it wouldn't be suitable for pulling a boat out of the water up a boat ramp.
When the battery is fully charged, it has a run time up to about 30 minutes. Pulling the trailer 200 yards would take about 25 or so minutes given the 23 feet per minute max speed of the unit so using it for that purpose would nearly exhaust the... view full answer...
Prices can change at times so it is possible that the Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set - 72" x 14-1/2" - 6,000 lbs # 288-07503 has a price tag that differs from when you last saw it. There is also the 48" version that is more affordable as you can see on this link: Aluminum Car Hauler Ramp Set - 48" x 14-1/2" - 6,000 lbs # 288-07501. Perhaps this is the one you were originally looking at. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out. view full answer...
I spoke to my contact at Race Ramps, she told me that those are the correct weights for the Race Ramps Trailer Step - 15-1/2" Lift - 24" Long - Qty 1 # RR-2STEP-24 and the Race Ramps Trailer Step - 15-1/2" Lift - 36" Long - Qty 1 # RR-2STEP-36. She said that they were both made of the same materials, but the core is a light weight densified material so just because a product is larger than another doesn’t mean it’s weight will be too much greater.
So, yes the Race Ramps Trailer Step -... view full answer...
