Transporting vehicles can be a challenge that is filled
with unforeseen intangibles that can culminate to an
unsafe situation with potential damage to the vehicle
along with endangering the individuals in the loading
area. Whether it’s saving time or foregoing the use of
products that can be heavy or difficult to maneuver,
shortcuts are risky. Race Ramps, manufactured by
Brute Technologies in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula,
develops products based on three key concepts:
Stronger, Lighter, Safer.
Race Ramps’ line of Trailer Ramps and accessories were designed for all aspects
of the trailer loading and transport process of vehicles with an emphasis on
those that are low-profile. Without any types of ramps, wood boards are often
used which can be unsteady and unreliable. While a vehicle is attempting to
ascend the wood boards, it can also inadvertently push the boards out from
underneath it - slinging it off into the distance. Not only can this scenario cause
damage to the vehicle, but individuals in the loading area can also be susceptible
to injury.
Loading a Low Profile Vehicle
For safe loading, Trailer Ramps reduce the approach angle while being solidly
constructed to support the vehicles up to 6,000 lbs. In addition, the ramps are
durably coated and will not scoot or slide no matter the surface. Trailer Ramps
range in length and height with combinations ranging from 4” to 11” high with 4°
to 8° approach angles. The ramps are designed to safely assist a vehicle’s loading
to prevent damage on both the front and back end.
Once a vehicle is loaded, Trailer Ramps are easy to maneuver and store. With
100% solid-core, high-density foam construction, the ramps provide strength
while remaining lightweight.
