Good ramp
I got this ramp to load my motorcycle onto my trailer. I decided on a wide ramp to be able to put a foot down if needed without falling off the ramp. I like that I could buy a second one, which then attaches to the other with pins. The supplied strap keeps the ramp from sliding off the trailer edge while loading.
The ramp is listed with 900 lbs. capacity, which according to the manual is or a even load distribution. If you load anything with wheels you will have a point load, which takes down the capacity to 450 lbs.
The general craftsmanship and some of the welds are questionable.
I was nervous when I first loaded the bike with the ramp but it held the weight of the bike and me, which is close to the load capacity.
This ramp is just what I need to haul things around in my tractor carts and trailer. It allows me to wheel things like the generator and sprayers onto the carts or trailer without having to lift them. It will come in handy for those times when I need to haul things to or from the deck. This single ramp with a 24" width is perfect for my needs.
I like the idea of securing the ramp with the attached strap, hook, and cam lock that can be attached to the hitch, bumper or frame. It is quick and easy, and it holds the ramp in place. The rungs are nice and wide, yet closely spaced.
Although it is aluminum, it is strong. (It is not a wimpy metal, as it needed tools to straighten the corner that got damaged) I like the anti-slip design of the raised holes on the rungs. It makes rolling things up the ramp easy, and gives you a secure grip when walking on it.
This ramp comes with instructions and a 1-year warranty.
This lightweight aluminum ramp is the perfect width (2 ft) to put my lawnmower and my mother's mobilized scooter into my SUV without breaking my back. I secured the ramp to the underneath part of the SUV to keep the ramp stabilized and secured. I had no problem getting either item into and out of my SUV. What I didn't count on was where to put the ramp when driving my mother to the doctors. The ramp is 7 ft long and it was too long to put inside my SUV with her inside it so I had to ratchet it to the top of my SUV. It is very lightweight so that wasn't much of a problem. Trying to lift her scooter into my SUV was a backbreaking problem that this ramp has now eliminated. I couldn't be happier. When I loaded my lawnmower into my SUV using the ramp, I was able to lay down the passenger seat and get the ramp inside the SUV but it took some work. The ideal vehicle for this 7 ft long ramp would be a larger SUV or Truck. It is equipped to attach another ramp to it to make it 4 ft wide. The ramp is suppose to be able to hold 900 lbs so neither the lawnmower or scooter should end up bending it. My neighbor has already asked to borrow it so he can put some heavy items in his truck bed using a dolly on the ramp. The openings between each rung are small, compared to other ramps I've seen, so using a dolly won't be a problem for him. I recommend this ramp especially if you own a truck.
I'm using this as a ramp to my floating dock. I bolted 3/8' pressure treated plywood onto it and it works great. It's lightweight and very strong, well built. The only drawback is not a solid ramp. That's why I added the plywood.

Good ramp, light weight aluminum, secures to truck for safe use
This is a good ramp for loading the truck with all the large equipment I rent from home depot like the walk behind concrete saw. It has a strap to secure the ramp to the truck so it doesn't slip during loading. The ramp is light weight. The length makes it not too steep to push the equipment up. However at 7' long it can't lay flat in my truck bed. It's a minor problem, but prevents me from keeping the ramp in the truck at all times. It is a very convenient item to have available to make it easier to transport heavy things.
This aluminum ramp is pretty sturdy, and seems to be made well with okay welds. I wanted a single-width somewhat wide ramp for work, to make it easier to get in and out of my work truck when taking a lot of stuff in and out constantly (hauling debris, bringing in materials, gravel, brick, concrete chunks, etc) and now its easy just to walk up and down the ramp and dump a wheelbarrow straight in. The strap secures nicely to my tow hitch loop and it's lightweight enough to carry around easily, but since it takes up space I only take it to work when I need it constantly. I even brought it to help my brother in law load 2-stroke dirt bikes into his truck and we were done quickly. By 'we" I mean he rode them in while I stood there. Sure beats picking them up by hand. I don't know the capacity but it's not super high, anything heavier than dirt bikes and you will need to check their weights, add in yours, and check the capacity of the ramp to make sure it will be okay.
We have used this ramp to easily roll appliances on a dolly up to the back of a pickup truck, and haul a lawn mower to and from the repair shop. We used it to slide boxes down and inside the building quickly out of the rain. It is not heavy and when we're not using it, we lean it up against the wall in the garage out of the way. It could be hung on the wall for storage.
This aluminum ramp comes in handy. Useful for loading it offers excellent traction. The rungs of the ramp are closely spaced., I use it for moving/loading bicycles and dirt bikes on a trailer. The ramp is fairly lightweight, making it pretty easy to move from job to job. I have a little trouble with storage of the ramp myself, however if you have a garage it should not be an issue.
Overall this is a great ramp if it fits your needs. My only complaint is each rung is 4 inches apart. Anything with wheels less than 6 inches in diameter will drop down so won't roll easily. Unless they are at least 20 inches apart. Then they will ride on the side rails. This can be a good thing when rolling something down the ramp. Just be mindful, depending on what you are loading.
The rungs are set into channels so no worries about bending or the welds snapping off. The raised imprints really help with grip. the strap is very easy to adjust and hooks on to the ramp itself when storing or traveling.
The plate at the end of the ramp to rest on the pickup or trailer bed is substantial. I would not worry about bending if you keep under the load limit.
It is 7 feet so be sure it fits in the vehicle. As others have shared it can be an issue if you are loading into a minivan or SUV. It is light enough to toss onto a roof rack if needed as long as you are able to keep it secured to the vehicle!
This ramp is made of high quality aluminum and being two feet wide is a big plus. I attached it to my trailer and it was very easy loading and unloading my riding lawn mower. The rungs are wide. The only thing I would like is for them to be more closely spaced. It can hold up to 1,800 lbs. It's light weight, therefore making it easy to load into the trailer.
