Loading rt limited onto utility trailor

[dtkennney]

I just purchased an aluminum trailor with a folding gate. When I tried to load the rt I found that the ramp was too steep causing it to hit the bottom. I found a couple oh wood planks and put them under the gate. I was then able to load the bike.

I am wondering if anyone has found a more elegant solution.

If you could have some metal ramps permanently mounted onto the OEM ramp.
A couple of decent pivots, that would allow you to flip them over for usage... :thumbup:

There was a recent thread on this with lots of suggestions, do a search and you will find it. I just jack the tongue of the trailer a bit , doesn't need much.

Well..!!

most of the ones I've seen have reverted to the trusty wood planks but checking the angle a lengths needed you could have the trailer shop make a mod for you..otherwise back the trailer to the curb if possible when planks are not handy...there is always a curb my wife hit them all the time...:roflblack:

So what is the trailer brand/model, size, etc ?

Hard to beat just having some boards handy to level the startup angle because even a seemingly level surface that has dips can surprise you at the last minute.
