HD Ramps Plate-End Car Trailer Ramps 16' x 18" Aluminum, 5,000 lb per Axle

16' x 18" Aluminum Car Trailer Ramps — 5,000 lbs. per Axle Capacity

Wood planks split. Steel ramps rust and weigh a ton. Either way you are dragging something heavy across the yard before the load even starts moving.

This set runs 16' long and 18" wide, rated at 5,000 lbs. per axle and built from aircraft-grade aluminum. Each ramp weighs 99 lbs, so one person sets the pair without help. The flat plate end lies on the deck and spreads the load across the edge instead of hanging off a rail.

Why Choose These 16' x 18" Ramps

At 99 lbs per ramp this pair moves by hand, and it still takes 5,000 lbs. per axle.

• 5,000 lbs. per axle — enough for the heaviest thing on the yard 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.

Made For

These ramps suit anyone loading wheeled or tracked equipment onto a deck that has no built-in tail.

• Landscapers and contractors moving mowers, skids and compactors
• Fleet yards loading the same trailers every day
• Racers and enthusiasts hauling low cars to the track
• Rental yards handing equipment over to customers
• Farm and ranch operations moving implements between fields

Features

• 5,000 lbs. per axle — the rated load per axle, carried at mid-span.
• 16' length — a longer run means a shallower angle and less scraping at the break-over.
• 18" width — wide enough for the driver to line up without a spotter on every load.
• 5.25" 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.
• Plate End — the flat plate end lies on the deck and spreads the load across the edge instead of hanging off a rail.
• Knife foot — concentrates the ground contact so the ramp does not creep on loose surfaces.
• 99 lbs per ramp — light enough to carry one-handed and hang on the trailer when the job is done.

Built to Take the Load

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. 5,000 lbs. per axle is the number for this set per axle.

The extrusion is aircraft-grade 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 99 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 16' 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 flat plate end lies on the deck and spreads the load across the edge instead of hanging off a rail. Check the seat before the first wheel touches — most ramp failures start with an end that was never fully engaged.

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.
