Trailer w/o ramps...
« on: June 01, 2012, 08:16:57 am »
Hey all, I found a nice '71 Mustang and in a couple of weeks going to pick it up with my trailer as it is not in tow or driving condition. Now I have a flat bed trailer but no ramps, and I saw these on the internethttp://www.onsaleramps.com/loading-ramps/car-trailer-ramps/pvi-car-trailer-ramp/ anybody got these and are they any good and is the price ok? My local here doesn't sell ramps so gotta buy it online... or maybe somebody knows good store in Orlando FL area?
Thanks!

     If they will work and you do not have any other choice, then they have to be ok.

does your trailer have any sort of setup for ramps?

They will work if there is a lip for them to hook to on the back of your trailer.

If they will work, take these lengths of wood with you

"2x8"   Take a 6" length, a 16" length  and a 24" length  what ever length, take a pair, you need one for each ramp. 

This is in case the car is low enough the bumper scrubs on the ramps, the pieces of wood are to prevent that.

IE..  my focus is low to the ground, IT REQUIRES the PIECES OF WOOD I take to get it so the ramps don't rip the front bumper off.
