A Trailer Side Kick Ramp is a specialized ramp designed to provide additional guidance and elevation when loading vehicles onto a trailer. Typically placed on either side of the main trailer ramp, it acts as a stabilizer, tire guide, and mini lift—making it easier to align, balance, and protect your load.
They are especially useful for:
Low-profile vehicles
Dual-axle trailers
Wide tires or offset vehicles
Tight loading situations where precision is critical
The Common Problems It Solves
1. Eliminates Roll-Off Risk
One of the most nerve-wracking parts of loading is the fear of a vehicle rolling off the side of the ramp. Side Kick Ramps help guide tires into place and keep them centered, dramatically lowering the chance of misalignment or sideways slip.
2. Reduces Scraping and Undercarriage Damage
Vehicles with low ground clearance often bottom out at the trailer lip. By elevating the trailer entry angle slightly, Side Kick Ramps help create a smoother transition—protecting bumpers, frames, and undercarriages.
3. Improves Loading Accuracy
If you’ve ever tried to load equipment alone, you know it’s hard to stay perfectly centered. Side Kick Ramps serve as built-in guides, helping you align your vehicle or machinery on the first try, saving time and reducing frustration.
4. Speeds Up Solo Loading
When time is tight and help is scarce, having tools that allow for safe, fast solo loading is invaluable. With a pair of Side Kick Ramps, you can roll right up and in without second-guessing your positioning.
Built for Tough Jobs
Most Trailer Side Kick Ramps are constructed from durable, high-density materials like polyurethane or rubber. They are engineered to:
Support thousands of pounds of vehicle weight
Withstand abrasion, oil, and weather
Provide non-slip surfaces for safety
Many models are also lightweight and portable, making them easy to carry, store, and deploy when needed.
Loading a trailer shouldn’t be a gamble with every trip. Trailer Side Kick Ramps provide the stability, alignment, and clearance needed to make loading safer and easier. Whether you’re working with heavy machinery or high-end vehicles, these ramps reduce the risk of accidents, damage, and time-consuming mistakes—so you can focus on the job, not the logistics.
