8' x 37" Aluminum Scissor Lift Trailer Ramp — 5,000 lbs. per Axle Capacity
A ramp that shifts under the first wheel is the fastest way to put a machine on its side. Once it walks, nothing stops it.
This set runs 8' long and 37" wide, rated at 5,000 lbs. per axle and built from military-grade aluminum. Each ramp weighs 140 lbs, so one person sets the pair without help. The hook end drops over the trailer rail and stays put, so the ramp does not walk sideways under a wheel.
Why Choose These 8' x 37" Ramps
At 140 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.
- Sized for a 18" to 24" load height.
- Serrated aluminum deck — the serrated deck gives the tire a bite point and lets water and grit fall away instead of collecting underfoot.
Made For
These ramps suit anyone loading wheeled or tracked equipment onto a deck that has no built-in tail.
- Car haulers and open trailer operators
- Independent repair shops loading non-runners
- 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
Features
-
5,000 lbs. per axle — the rated load per axle, carried at mid-span.
-
8' length — a longer run means a shallower angle and less scraping at the break-over.
-
37" width — wide enough for the driver to line up without a spotter on every load.
-
4" deck thickness — keeps the transition at the bottom short so low vehicles clear it.
-
Serrated aluminum deck — the serrated deck gives the tire a bite point and lets water and grit fall away instead of collecting underfoot.
-
Hook End — the hook end drops over the trailer rail and stays put, so the ramp does not walk sideways under a wheel.
-
140 lbs per ramp — light enough to carry one-handed and hang on the trailer when the job is done.
-
Military-grade Aluminum — no rust, no paint to chip, and it does not gain weight in the rain.
Where the Strength Comes From
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 military-grade aluminum. It does not rust, it needs no paint, and it does not put on weight after a wet week outside. The serrated deck gives the tire a bite point and lets water and grit fall away instead of collecting underfoot.
Each ramp weighs 140 lbs, which is the difference between a pair one person can set and a pair that needs two people and a bad back.
Matching the Ramp to the Trailer
Approach angle is the whole game with a low vehicle. At 8' 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 hook end drops over the trailer rail and stays put, so the ramp does not walk sideways under a wheel. 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.
