Race Ramps Trailer Side Kick Ramp (RR-TR-SK-1)

The Race Ramps Trailer Side Kick Ramp (RR-TR-SK-1) is a highly functional and portable solution designed to enhance the efficiency of both trailer loading and tire maintenance for tandem axle trailers. This innovative ramp serves a dual purpose: it acts as a precise guide to help drivers accurately position their vehicles within trailers, preventing potential damage to wheel wells, and it simplifies the often-challenging task of changing a flat tire on tandem axle setups by providing a stable lift. Its construction from high-density expanded foam with a specialized anti-slip coating ensures it is lightweight yet remarkably strong, making it an indispensable tool for anyone who regularly uses a trailer.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Dual Functionality: Serves as a protective guide for precise vehicle placement when loading trailers and as a lifting aid for easy tire changes on tandem axle trailers.
• Optimal Approach Angle: Features a 13-degree approach angle, allowing vehicles to drive onto the ramp smoothly and easily.
• Portable and Lightweight: Weighs only 8 pounds, making it easy to transport, position, and store.
• High Capacity Support: Capable of supporting up to 1,500 pounds per ramp, contributing to a total vehicle capacity of 6,000 pounds when used appropriately.
• Non-Damaging Material: Constructed from a solid, high-density foam that will not rust, transfer heat or cold, or scuff surfaces, protecting both your vehicle and your trailer.
• Versatile Surface Use: Designed to provide stable support on various level surfaces, including pavement, grass, or sand, without sinking.

HOW TO USE:

• For Trailer Loading Guidance:
• Position: Place the Trailer Side Kick Ramp directly in front of your trailer’s steel wheel well on the side you wish to guide your vehicle. Ensure the tapered end faces the direction your vehicle will approach from.
• Align: Drive your vehicle slowly and steadily towards the ramp, aligning your vehicle’s tire with the ramp’s center.
• Guide: As your tire engages the ramp, it will help to guide your vehicle precisely into position, preventing accidental contact with the trailer’s wheel well.
• Park: Once your vehicle is correctly positioned, engage your parking brake and secure your vehicle as usual within the trailer.
• For Tandem Axle Trailer Tire Change:
• Preparation: Park your tandem axle trailer on a flat, level surface. Ensure the tire you wish to change is the flat one, and the adjacent “good” tire is ready to drive onto the ramp.
• Position Ramp: Place the Trailer Side Kick Ramp directly in front of the good tire on the tandem axle.
• Drive On: Slowly and carefully drive the trailer forward, allowing the “good” tire to ascend and rest securely on the ramp.
• Lift Flat Tire: As the good tire drives onto the ramp, the flat tire will be lifted off the ground, providing clearance for easy removal.
• Change Tire: With the flat tire suspended, proceed with its removal and replacement.
• Drive Off: Once the new tire is installed and secured, slowly drive the trailer off the ramp.
