Trailer ramps for a utility trailer

Types of Trailer Ramps

1. Folding Trailer Ramps – Compact and easy to store, ideal for ATVs, motorcycles, and small equipment.
2. Arched Trailer Ramps – Designed for low-clearance vehicles to prevent bottoming out.
3. Straight Trailer Ramps – Simple and effective for general loading needs.
4. Ramp Gates – Dual-purpose as a loading trailer ramp and a rear gate for enclosed or open trailers.
5. Slide-In or Stowable Trailer Ramps – Stored under the trailer when not in use for convenience.

Material Options

• Aluminum – Lightweight, rust-resistant, and durable.
• Steel – Heavy-duty and strong but prone to rust if not coated properly.
• Composite or Polyurethane – Lightweight, durable, and corrosion-resistant, though less common.

Load Capacity

• Check the weight rating to match the heaviest equipment or vehicle you plan to load.
• Consider reinforced designs for heavier loads.

Attachment & Safety Features

• Hook Ends vs. Plate Ends – Hook ends attach to trailer lips, while plate ends rest flat.
• Anti-slip Surface – Helps with traction, especially in wet or muddy conditions.
• Side Rails or Guardrails – Prevents equipment from slipping off the edge.
