SUGGESTIONS
FOR MEASUREMENTS: |
Measurement A: This measurement
should be about the same as the thickness of your
existing ramp or trailer door. This is the transition
between the trailer ramp and your ramp/door.
|
| Measurement B: This is the height that your existing ramp/door will be raised up off the ground. The higher this measurement, the longer your ramp will typically end up being to make the incline slope more gradual. |
| Measurement C: This area supports the weight of the trailer door/ramp and a large portion of the weight as the vehicle drivers onto it. A minimum of 4" is recommended for proper weight displacement. Our standard is 5". |
| Measurement D: This measurement will determine the angle of the ramp. The longer this is, the more gradual the incline slope will be. |
|
| |
| Measurement E: A minimum of 14" is recommended for proper trailer ramp/door weight distribution. Note: if ramp exceeds 10" in height, or 8' in length, at our discretion we may widen this measurement for stability. |
FACTORS TO KEEP IN MIND: |
| Angle of Approach. How steep of an incline can your vehicle approach before the front of the car hits the ramp? |
| Clearance. How much can your vehicle clear? |
| Departure Angle. As the vehicle goes up the ramp, the back end will go down - too steep of an angle and the rear end will hit. |
