Question:

Howdy ya'll. I’ve got a wider equipment car hauler trailer that’s about 7 foot wide big tex. Which RapidRamps kit should I be looking at?

Howdy Jason, for trailers over 6-1/2 feet wide, you’ll want either # e97XV 5 foot ramps or # e67XV 6 foot ramps. Both bolt directly to a wood trailer deck and include everything needed for installation.

Between the two, ramp length is the deciding factor. The 6 foot kit # e67XV is better for heavier and lower-clearance equipment because of the smoother approach, while the 5 foot kit # e97XV works well if your deck sits lower or the space behind the trailer is limited.

If you can share what you’re loading and your deck height, I can help dial that in.

I’ve got almost the same trailer and was wondering if the 5 foot ramps would be enough since my deck isn’t super tall.

@Shane Hey Shane, it really depends on what the actual deck height is and how low clearance your vehicles/equipment are that you plan to drive up onto the trailer. If you want to play it safe, I'd just go with the longer 6 foot ramps which will give you the best angle for clearance: # e67XV

@AndrewN Oh yeah, it will be a sprint race car and maybe a mower. So yeah, I wasn't thinking lol. 6 foot would be better for sure. thanks!
