4' x 12" Aluminum Car Trailer Ramps — 3,000 lbs per Axle Capacity
Loading off a short ramp is how bumpers get torn off and oil pans get punched. The angle is wrong and the car bottoms out halfway up.
This set runs 4' long and 12" wide, rated at 3,000 lbs per axle and built from high-strength aluminum. Each ramp weighs 17 lbs, so one person sets the pair without help. The hook and plate hybrid end works two ways — hook it over a rail, or lay the plate flat on the deck.
Why Choose These 4' x 12" Ramps
At 17 lbs per ramp this pair moves by hand, and it still takes 3,000 lbs per axle.
-
3,000 lbs per axle — enough for the machines that actually come through the gate.
- Works at deck heights from 10" to 12", so one set covers more than one trailer.
- Wide serrated rungs deck — wide serrated rungs give the tire something to grip and let rain and grit fall through the gaps rather than pool on the surface.
-
Knife foot holds the ground end where you set it instead of skating on gravel.

Features
-
3,000 lbs per axle — the rated load per axle, carried at mid-span.
-
4' length — a longer run means a shallower angle and less scraping at the break-over.
-
12" width — wide enough for the driver to line up without a spotter on every load.
-
2" deck thickness — keeps the transition at the bottom short so low vehicles clear it.
-
Wide serrated rungs — wide serrated rungs give the tire something to grip and let rain and grit fall through the gaps rather than pool on the surface.
-
Hook and Plate Hybrid End — the hook and plate hybrid end works two ways — hook it over a rail, or lay the plate flat on the deck.
-
Knife foot — concentrates the ground contact so the ramp does not creep on loose surfaces.
-
17 lbs per ramp — light enough to carry one-handed and hang on the trailer when the job is done.
Aluminum That Earns Its Rating
A capacity figure only means something if it holds at the point of highest stress, which is the middle of the span with a wheel sitting on it. 3,000 lbs per axle is the number for this set per axle.
The extrusion is high-strength aluminum. It does not rust, it needs no paint, and it does not put on weight after a wet week outside. Wide serrated rungs give the tire something to grip and let rain and grit fall through the gaps rather than pool on the surface.
Each ramp weighs 17 lbs, which is the difference between a pair one person can set and a pair that needs two people and a bad back.
Setting Up on Your Deck
Approach angle is the whole game with a low vehicle. At 4' of run this set spreads the climb over more distance than a short ramp, and that is what keeps the front lip off the ground on the way up.
The set is rated for deck heights between 10" and 12". Inside that window the angle stays within what the ramp was engineered for and the hook and plate hybrid end stays seated the whole way.
Set both ramps square to the trailer and space them to the vehicle track. Walk the ends once before loading, and keep the ground under the feet firm and level.
