Do The 5 Foot etrailer RapidRamps Have Same Strength And Weight Rating As 6 Foot Ramps?  

Published 02/02/2026



Question:

Are the 5-foot RapidRamps the same strength as the 6-foot ones, or do I give up capacity going shorter?

Expert Reply:

Hey Kevin; you don’t give up capacity by going shorter, or by selecting the ramp kit for a wider trailer. All RapidRamps kits are rated at 3,000 lbs per ramp (enough for 6,000lb vehicle) - so the 5' kits # e37XV (for 5 - 6-1/2' wide trailers) and # e97XV (for over 6-1/2' wide trailers) have the same per-ramp rating as the 6' kits # e47XV and # e67XV. Ramp length here only affects approach angle and clearance, not strength.

If your trailer deck is low enough already or space behind the trailer is limited, the 5' kits can be a great fit. If you’re loading low-clearance equipment or want a gentler angle, that’s where the 6' kits really shine.

What’s your trailer deck height and what are you loading most often?
