Bolt On Fold Up Ramp Kit For 7 Foot Wide Utility Trailer

Question:

I’ve got a 7 foot wide utility trailer but limited room behind it when loading. Would the 5-foot RapidRamps still make sense?

Hey Lucas.

Yes - for trailers over 6-1/2 feet wide, the 5 foot long RapidRamps kit # e97XV is a great option when space behind the trailer is limited. It still bolts directly to the wood trailer deck, includes all the mounting hardware, and keeps the same 3,000 lbs per ramp rating as the longer version.

If your trailer deck isn’t too tall and you’re not loading low-clearance vehicles, # e97XV gives you a more compact loading setup without sacrificing strength.

What do you normally load on the trailer? I can double check to make sure this is the appropriate setup.

I’ve got a similar 7 foot utility trailer but I haul a zero-turn mower. Would the 5 foot ramps still be okay for that?

@Dave Good morning Dave. Those should work fine for a zero turn if your trailer deck is on the low side. If your trailer actually sits up higher than a standard flat deck trailer then I'd err on the side of caution and get the bigger 6 foot ramps to be safe and reduce chance of bottoming out.
