I'll try to remember to get a picture ot the ramps on my Aspen tomorrow. They have held up very well.
Lowboy ramps replacement suggestions, these are worn out!

I've had this trailer since 2009, and it is a 96 model. I've hauled D8s, our 945, and about anything else. I've never had to do a thing to them.cke, singlescrewshaker, AModelCat and 5 others Thank this. -
I just wondered about the sag because I am repairing an older trailer that has a permanent sag and probably had about 4 inches with a 55000 pound machine on it.cke, singlescrewshaker and OLDSKOOLERnWV Thank this. -
Looks like yours has done really well
I like that flat bottom design so it won’t sink as bad on soft ground or oil and chip roads
That hinge looks light but obviously it’s holding up better than mine
Do you load much on crowned roads…that seems to be how mine get twisted to the point they won’t foldcke, singlescrewshaker, OLDSKOOLERnWV and 1 other person Thank this. -
Aspen are expensive, but worth it, and my favorite brand.cke, singlescrewshaker, AModelCat and 1 other person Thank this. -
I’m allowed 104K here in WV on 5 axles. It had me at well over 100K, it was low but handled it fine…..

Pull the neck, turn the deck over and block the front so the rail is level. Then you can weld to your hearts content.
You can consider putting a heavy weight centered to stretch the top of the beams and compress the bottom. my boss used 8tons of concrete blocks in between the rails and 3 tons on each outside all sitting on the crossmembers in about 10ft of space.
The 3/8X3" was for tandems, 3/8X4" for tridems and 1/2X4"for multiaxle -
It might be partly because it’s got extra heavy main beams so it can be used with a pin on stingercke, MartinFromBC, singlescrewshaker and 1 other person Thank this.
