Step deck ramps

I got mine from discountramps.com. I got the 20" wide ramps, and although the extra width is nice they are heavy and awkward to move around at 94 lbs/ pc. I would consider the 16" wide ramps @ 74 lbs/pc if I bought again.

 

Need or want?

 

There is a company in Jacksonville, FL that makes ramps. I believe the company is called Landsport. They should have what you want or need.

 

I have a set of 16ft long ramps/levelers first off you get them for the drop your deck has I have never used all 4 of my ramps at the same time (6 years I never have)they just ride on my top deck and most of the times they get in the way now. When I first got mine a was paid $50.00 every time I pulled them out but them days are over. If you have a use for them they are good to have but if not don't wast your time most shippers have loading docks even when they ask for ramps most the time I don't have to use them. Don't think loads are going to pay anymore because you have them atleast I don't get anymore money

There is 3 different company's that make them all run about the same price and are build the same so shipping is high on them so I picked one that was a place I could stop buy and get mine and also they make 25,000lb ramps now and most kits run around $2,700

 

dont want to start anything but i do believe your dead wrong! I use the hell out of my ramps and they make me alot of money! they are not all the same either,the set I use now are by HD RAMP out of wisconsin, If you buy the ramps spend the extra money go up there and they do the install of the mounts, towers and the ramp hooks on the trailerm its advisable to get an extra set of ramp mounts for the upper deck, sometimes you need to get a truck up there. My Hd ramps are in 8 ft sections comes 4 to a set, i load everythiing from pickups to pavers and hemmettis to 113 APC, Ive even done a few excavators.(need to carry conveyor belt for tracks so as not to damage the ramps. good luck

 

Dogcather:
I have to agree. I also got my ramps from Discount ramps out of Wi. I built my own rack for them between my spread. I use all 4 quite often and usually get extra 750-100 bucks each time.
Kinda weird, that I'll use them twice a week for a month, then not use them for couple months.
I actually bought them for load levelers and only use as load levelers couple times a year but as ramps probably 15 times a year.
I did get the brackets to use all 4 ramps as levelers and never need more than 2 levelers. I'd love to sell the extra brackets.
All said and done, it's a great investment if your really into vehicles.
If money is tight, you could start with just two ramps. We do alot of Milatary vehicles which only reqires 2 of the 4 ramps.

 

Having a stepdeck without Ramps is like havin a shirt without a pocket a old timer told me, I don't go around telling everyone they cost $100 to pull them out.....I do a lot of ltl picking up a car for $600 over $600 miles then my main load is profit.....everyone uses them differently

 

I don't move LTL freight I'm not saying I don't use them I'm saying I don't use all 4 at the same time in fact mine are from two different company's I use them for levelers more than I use them for ramps I was just saying I wouldn't spend the money on the full kit I would only get the two ramps with the leveler stands and call it done!!

 

Go big or go home all I have to say
