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.
