Lawn & Garden Tractors: 
We recommend a pair of arched runners or folding arched 
runners that will provided adequate clearance of the mowing 
deck as the mower loads into the truck. Folding arched 
runners will give more storage options. 
ATV's: 
We recommend runners, bi-fold ramps, and tri-fold 
ramps. The difference in these ramps styles is primarily 
a personal choice decision. The runners have the advantage 
of being more versatile, since they will also load a mower. 
Motorcycles: 
We recommend our single runners or our specialty 
ramps designed especially for large motorcycles. DO NOT 
USE BI-FOLD OR TRI-FOLD RAMPS TO LOAD 
MOTORCYCLES. The weight distribution over two, 
rather than four wheels is a significant factor, and the 
ramps are designed to carry the load differently. 
Heavy Duty Loading Ramps: 
Obviously, weight capacity is the critical factor. Know 
how much weight is distributed to each tire of the vehicle 
being loaded and select a ramp to accommodate the 
weight distribution. 
Width of Ramp: 
The width of the ramp must accommodate the full 
width of the measurement from outside of tire to 
outside of tire. For runners, the width should be at
least as wide as the tire. 
Length of Ramp: 
We recommend AT LEAST 2.2inches of length for each 
inch of height. 

       For Example, to load equipment into a 30 inch truck 
       bed height you should have a ramp at least 66 inches 
       long because 30” x 2.2” = 66” Ramp Length Needed

This is a steep grade and our safety instructions should be 
reviewed and SAFETY STRAPS SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED. 
If there is any doubt GET A LONGER RAMP.

Are you still unsure? 
You should always consult with the dealer selling you 
the ramp. They can help answer any questions you may 
have, or call Oxlite direct at 1-800-256-2408.
