ATV Ramps

As an ATV enthusiast, you know that living an adventurous lifestyle is not always easy. Exploring the trails with your ATV does bring a lot of fun and pleasure, but getting your four-wheeler to the site can prove to be a tricky task. You need reliable ramps to make loading and unloading your ATV a safe and easy process. In our online store, we offer an extensive selection of premium-grade ATV ramps from industry-leading brands to aid you in transporting your all-terrain vehicle. The ramps stocked on our virtual shelves are available in a variety of lengths, widths, styles, and materials, so you’re sure to find the ones that meets your specific needs.

When it comes to styles, you can get either single ramps or dual runners. The latter have two separate ramps and can be folding or non-folding, arched or straight. While straight ramps may work great with higher quads, arched ramps are the best choice for those who need additional clearance to load lower ATVs. Single ramps can also be folding and non-folding, with the latter available in bi-fold (fold in half) and trifold (fold in third) versions. Single designs are sturdier, more compact and easier to set up than dual runners, but two separate ramps allow for greater versatility because you can always adjust the distance between them if you need to transport a wider vehicle. Plus, they’re capable of holding more weight overall.

Want to be confident you’ve chosen the ramps that will work for you? Here are several things to consider. First of all, make sure that your overall loading weight doesn’t exceed the weight capacity of the ramps. To calculate the total weight of your setup, add together the weight of the ATV itself, (check the owner’s manual), driver’s weight, the weight of all additional accessories and the cargo attached to your vehicle, as well as the weight of the tank with fuel (one gallon of gas weighs 8.5 lbs). It’s always a good idea to opt for ramps with a weight capacity that well exceeds your current total loading weight. This will allow you to install additional accessories, take extra loads or even upgrade to a larger ATV without the need to buy new ramps.

Loading height is another factor to keep in mind when choosing ATV ramps. It’s important to know what type of vehicle your quad will be loaded onto. When lifting your four-wheeler onto a pickup truck bed, the loading height will be greater than when lifting it onto a trailer, so you’ll need longer ramps to reduce the loading angle. The higher your truck bed, the longer ramps you require. Also, take into account that if you’re loading your machine by yourself, you should go for longer ramps to minimize the steepness of incline even more, so you will have no problem pushing and balancing your ATV without any help. Simply put, you can never go wrong with longer ramps because they’ll allow you to load your quad on virtually any truck.

Choosing the ramps that are wide enough for your all-terrain vehicle is also crucial to make loading secure, fast, and easy. When buying dual-runner ramps, remember that each ramp should measure no less than the widest part of your quad tires. For maximum safety and convenience, it's recommended to select ramps that are wider than the tire width. One-piece versions should be at least as wide as the width of the four-wheeler itself, but then again choosing a wider option is never a bad bet. Before you start loading, don’t forget to check the attaching lips and fingers to make sure your ramps are properly secured. You may also need to lock the latches tighter if you have ramps with hinges.
