X-Ramp Utility Ramp

Discount Ramps is now proud to introduce a utility Ramp from Assistive Technology called the X-ramp. This ramp is specifically designed for loading and hauling ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, lawn equipment, dirt bikes, and utility loading. To access the ramp, all you do is lower the tail gate and extend the ramp. This X-Ramp has a 1,200 pound weight capacity and is available in five different sizes from 33 inches long to 96 inches long and in four different inside widths, from 32 inches – 54 inches. It features a unique and functional quick release attachment system that slides into rails which are mounted onto the bed of your pickup truck, cargo van, or utility trailer. A powder coated aluminum and steel finish, as well as a high resistance automotive plating is used to make the X-ramp safe, sturdy, and dependable. Another great feature of this loading ramp is that if you pull the accordion styled ramp out half way and set it down you can use the utility ramp as stairs for loading your bed or van; this is a great way to use your vehicle for dolly loading. You simply install the telescoping loading ramp, pull the gate open, and fold the ramp down then ride your motorcycle, ATV or whatever you are loading on to the ramp. This ramp eliminates any need for extra trailers making this the most unique and functional ramp on the market today!

The X-ramp is installed on to the tailgate of your truck. To install the X-Ramp utility ramp you will have to do some drilling so the rails are attached to the tailgate. The X-Ramp installation kit comes with universal mounting hardware to help you decide what is best for the make and model of your vehicle. If you ever want to have full access to the tailgate all you do is slide the hitch pin out and lift the utility ramp out.

We’re proud to now offer the most universal loading ramp on the market — The Big Boy II from Lite Aluminum Products. We took our years of customer suggestions/reviews and shared them with the development team over at Lite Aluminum Products so that the demands and interests of our customers could be implemented into a brand new loading ramp system. The outcome of this cooperation was the design and manufacturing of the Big Boy II ramp which can be used to load a vast range of vehicles or equipment. The Big Boy II ramp’s main purpose is for loading a motorcycle. However, the ramp can be utilized for loading all of your four wheeled machines that have pneumatic tires. The ramp system has a 2500lbs weight capacity when connected together or 1250lbs weight capacity per ramp section.

Below is a small list of the possibilities:
