Hi Andrew,

The M-3 Enclosed Trailer Transition Plate part # M348FR is not intended to be installed on the ground, so I don't recommend using it for that purpose.

For installing it from the ramp to the trailer floor, it is possible to have a transition plate installed to go from the trailer floor to the ramp door to help move things over the gap between the ramp and floor. I've attached a photo showing someone who's done just that, one from the ramp to the ground and another from the trailer floor to the ramp.

What do you need the transition plates to help you move?
