How Can Race Ramps Load 6,000 lb Car if They Are Rated For 3,000 lbs Total
Published 11/10/2023
Question:
the Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps # RR-TR-7 says it is rated for 3,000 lbs total (1,500 lbs per ramp) but also it can load a 6,000 lb car? is that accurate or am I dumb?

That's a good question; you're definitely not dumb, and it is accurate that a 6,000 lb car can be loaded using the 74" long Race Ramps Trailer Loading Assist Ramps - 7" Lift # RR-TR-7.
The reason why is the full weight of your car isn't going to be on the ramp at the same time. First the front wheels will be on and by the time the front wheels of your car are on the trailer (and off the ramps), the rear wheels will be on. So only half of the car's weight will be on the # RR-TR-7 at any one time.
