anyone know where to buy aluminum loading ramps for a tri glide or freewheeler
There must be someone who trailers their trike. I live in Canada and want to trailer my trike to Arizona for a few months. I have already tried two sets of ramps that were rated for 2000 lbs. but they bent halve way up as I tried to load.My trailer is 18 inches high, There is a very poor selection of ramps where I live so I need help. I am willing to pay shipping so it does not matter where they come from
Howdy Gerald. Sorry to hear you are having the problem. I'm a bit surprised your trike is bending 2000 pound ramps. I have never used ramps because my trailer has a drop down rear door but I'd say if you put a support under the ramps you have about half way up that would keep them from bending. I simple "T" shape made from 2 X 6 lumber should be plenty strong.

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.

The rear door on my trailer is nothing more than 6 x 5 x 3/4 plywood. However, at 18" high you would not make the transition from ramp to level. You trike will drag at the hump. Especially if you still have the abortion of a parking brake hanging below it.

That ramp looks HUGE. Where do you store it when in transit? I can see why one would need some type of center support.

For 3200 i could buy one very nice trailer
Thanks for the input. This site is amazing. It turns out that a person that lives in the same complex as I live in saw this add and has offered to build a light weight set of ramps for me. He is a retired certified pressure welder so I am sure he know what he is doing
Yeah...18" trailer Ht. is a problem. You'd probably save money selling your trailer and buying a 12-14' enclosed 7' wide trailer with drop axles. I picked one up in Wisconsin for under 4K new. Dual axles with brakes etc.
And they seem to be all over South Carolina and surrounding area's for great prices.
By the time you find a ramp strong enough, and then long enough to not drag going onto the ramp and then into the trailer, you'd have a ton of money into a rig that then has to carry 300 lbs. of ramps around with you.
Just my opinion - jc
I was at Lone Star this weekend and saw a demo on this. Looked very nice but you needed a long bed truck for it to work . You can put the one part straight out and put a support underneath to hold it up and use it as a platform to work on your bike.
