(78 products)

Trailer ramps are designed to make loading equipment onto your trailer safer, faster, and easier. They provide a controlled way to move machinery and gear onto a trailer without the strain or risk of manual lifting.

Commonly used for loading lawn mowers, ATVs, motorcycles, and general equipment, our range includes lightweight folding trailer ramps as well as heavy-duty aluminium trailer ramps to suit different trailer heights and load requirements.

If you’re unsure which option is right for your setup, use our ramp calculator or read our guide on understanding the importance of tray height before purchasing ramps to help you choose safely and confidently.

How to Choose the Right Trailer Ramps

Choosing the right trailer ramps comes down to more than just price. The safest and most practical option depends on how you’ll be using the ramps, the weight of your equipment, and the height of your trailer.

Before selecting a ramp, it’s important to consider the following:

1. Load Capacity

Your trailer ramps should comfortably support the combined weight of your equipment and any additional load. Always choose ramps with a capacity rating that exceeds your equipment weight to allow for safe loading and long-term use.

This is particularly important when selecting car trailer ramps, as vehicles place significantly more load on ramps than smaller equipment.

2. Ramp Length & Trailer Height

Ramp length directly affects the loading angle. Shorter ramps can create a steeper incline, which increases the risk of bottoming out or losing traction. Taller trailer decks require longer ramps to maintain a safe gradient. If you’re unsure how long your ramps should be, understanding your trailer’s tray height is a critical first step.

3. Ramp Width & Stability

Wider ramps provide better stability, particularly when loading equipment with wider tyres. This can make alignment easier and help reduce the risk of slipping during loading.

4. Folding vs Fixed Trailer Ramps

Folding trailer ramps are popular for their portability and ease of storage, making them ideal for frequent transport. Fixed ramps offer a more rigid structure and are often preferred for repeated loading of heavier equipment.

Why Aluminium Trailer Ramps Are a Popular Choice

Aluminium trailer ramps are widely used due to their strong load capacity, corrosion resistance,  and lighter weight compared to steel. This makes them easier to handle while still delivering the strength needed for demanding applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size trailer ramps do I need?

The right size trailer ramps depend on your trailer height, equipment weight, and wheel width. Longer ramps create a gentler loading angle, which improves safety and reduces the risk of bottoming out. Measuring your trailer’s tray height is a good starting point, and our ramp calculator can help you determine the safest ramp length.

How much weight can trailer ramps support?

Trailer ramps are available in a range of load capacities. Always choose ramps with a rated capacity that exceeds the total weight of your equipment to allow for safe loading and long-term use. Capacity ratings are listed on each product to help you choose with confidence.

Are aluminium trailer ramps strong enough for heavy equipment?

Yes. Aluminium trailer ramps are widely used for heavy-duty applications due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. They’re easier to handle than steel ramps while still delivering reliable performance for demanding jobs.

Should I choose folding or fixed trailer ramps?

Folding trailer ramps are ideal if portability and storage are important, as they’re easy to transport and store when not in use. Fixed ramps offer a more rigid structure and are often preferred for repeated loading of heavier equipment. The best option depends on how often you’ll be using the ramps and where they’ll be stored.

Why is it important to choose high-quality trailer ramps?

High-quality trailer ramps offer better stability, load support, and traction during loading. Investing in well-built ramps helps reduce the risk of slips, equipment damage and accidents, especially when loading heavy or valuable equipment. To learn more, see our guide on the importance of using quality load ramps.
