Question:
Need help, please, in finding a set of ramps for my rafting trailer. I winch my 250 lb raft bought the winch and accessories from you! onto my trailer and have been using a couple of 2 x 12s as a ramp to get up on the roller over the tailgate which is 40 above ground level. I dont want to spend an exorbitant amount of money but would like something lightweight I can throw in the trailer when I head out on the road with raft in tow. Can you give me some suggestions? Thanks! told you last year I would be back and here I am!

Hey Bill, so for a ramp set that is priced great that is aluminum so it could be tossed around a bit easier we have the Erickson set part # EM85WV which will give you a set of two ramps that are 72 inches long and 9 inches wide. These don't fold so they would take up a bit more space. Instead for a folding set we have the part # 288-07452-2 which are similar in dimension but are also arched which help with the transition from the ramp the trailer as well. Would either of these work for you?

Hey Bill, did the folding arched ramps work out for your rafting trailer? I'm curious to know if they made loading your raft easier, as it could help others looking for a similar solution.
