W
hen it comes to selecting the right trailer, you ask all of the questions that help you
determine the right product for your customer. Everything from price point to length,
we’re sure you have it covered. But, there is one very important question that also needs to
be asked, “What’s going to be in your trailer?”
If your customer answers with, “A car,” your ears should perk up and an immediate follow-up
question should already be working its way out. “What kind of car are you transporting?”
More than likely, you’re going to hear about a potential collector car, classic car, show car,
supercar or race car. These are more than your average daily drivers – they are either high
value cars to begin with, or they are cars that have been modified or restored. Again –
another form of investment.
The last thing a customer wants to be faced with is a treasured car that simply won’t easily
load onto or in their trailer. This is where you become the hero when you ask for more
details about their car. What kind of ground clearance does it have? What is the height of
the trailer door hinge point? What is the length of the trailer door? What is the thickness of
the trailer door? These are the common question we always ask at Race Ramps.
RAMPOLOGY
The secret to our success? Our ramps extend a trailer’s current door or ramp to decrease
the angle of approach (to as little as 4.3-degrees) that enables a low-clearance car to load
without contact.
