My company is finally getting around to making some ramps for our trucks. We run mostly mechanical 2 axle Rgn's with the occasional 3rd axle pinned on. Mostly we use them as double drops and don't break them down very often. We have been having issues with crossmembers getting caught by the kingpins.
How do these ramps look? They look like they would fit the criteria our company was wanting. Transferable to the next truck at trade in time and no/little frame modifications. They are on one of our sister company's trucks so it should be a simple process to find out where they are made.

I made mine, they look somewhat similar. Be mindful of rail clearance on the neck once you slide the fifth wheel up. If you load heavy and make a turn on a hump they will hang. At least on mine.

We have one or two trailers with a deep kingpin that will do the same on my ramps. I'm going to buy a taller 5th wheel riser and hope it helps.
I can't get weight on my steers and if I raise it up I might be able to get it more forward for weight on the steers.cke, Oxbow, johndeere4020 and 1 other person Thank this. -
Oxbow Thanks this.

My tires are actually taller than my ramps. The tires rub too, it's pissing me off.
I can't get that GD thing to slide. I was 11,900 steers and 34,620 drives 1/2 tanks. -
They look okay to me, not having a direct sideview to gauge tire clearance. The rollers will hop a bit at the sharp turns, but, I've used plenty of Cozad ramps that look like that without issue.
cke and DDlighttruck Thank this. -
Has it ever been moved? -
Couldn't tell you. It was from a truck wreckers. -
If not, try a little PB B'laster on them. I've seen that stuff work some wonders -
No bueno
