How to Choose the Right Ramp for Your Powersports Vehichle
- ATVs: Extra-wide ramps to ride up and into pickup beds and trailers; choose 6' ramps for low trailer decks or larger 10'+ ramps for pickup trucks.
- Motorcycles: Single ramp runner to push dirt bikes and small motorcycles up and into the truck bed or trailer deck, or extra-wide ramps to ride up without the hassle of pushing a larger bike. Follow a similar rule of thumb to ATV ramps, as wheelbase plays a big factor in choosing the right ramp. Arched ramps increase clearance to prevent high-centering at the top of the ramp.

- Snowmobiles: Ramps over 7' that feature ski guides of both sides where the skis make contact with the ramp. Stud protectors available for studded tracks. Suitable for snowmobile trailers or pickup truck loading.
Aluminum Ramps for Lightweight Strength
For portability that doesn't compromise strength, you want an aluminum ramp over steel every time. They'll be much easier to carry, set up, and take down, and the majority of our Black Widow ramps fold for convenient storage. Use the ramp, fold it up, store it in your truck or trailer and bring it with you without a struggle.
Types of Powersport Ramps And Their Uses
Full Width Ramps: Starting at 40" W and going up to 57" W or more, these loading ramps are built for riding, baby! Great for larger powerports vehicles like trikes, cruisers, touring bikes and ATVs, they have enough room for a rider to navigate up the ramps safely.
Trailer Ramps: These ramps are shorter to accommodate the lower height of a trailer deck. Definitely not recommended for pickup truck use.
Single Runner Ramps: Hovering between 11" and 20" W, these ramps are used individually to load small motorcycles, dirt bikes or motocross bikes up and into a truck or trailer. The bikes cannot be ridden up due to safety, and must be pushed. They're long enough for safe truck bed loading, and most fold for compact storage.
Dual Runner Ramps: Made up of two single runner ramps, dual runners are used for loading vehicles with four wheels like ATVs, UTVs, golf carts, lawn mowers and similar. Unlike full width ramps, the beauty of dual runners is that they can be positioned as close together or far apart as the wheelbase of what you're loading, so they're incredibly versatile. An added bonus is that you can also use one of the runners to load up dirt bikes or other small motorcycles.
Folding Ramps: This general type of ramp refers to any ramp that folds in half to reduce the length for easier storage in a truck bed, on a trailer, or in a garage. The hinges are always oriented on the underside to provide sturdy support when the ramp is fully opened.
Non-Folding Ramps: The opposite! Usually these ramps are usually short enough that they don't need a hinge in order to store easily. Generally seen more with shorter ramp, like trailer ramps.
Bi-Fold Ramps: This type of ramp folds in half vertically, and is usually a feature of extra-wide or full width ramps, such as ATV ramps or large motorcycle ramps.
