I use a tilting snowmobile trailer to haul both of my ATV’s. While this has worked over the years, it can be a pain in the a$$ at times if the deck is slippery during the cold months causing us to struggle.
I’m to the point of purchasing a ramp to aid in loading. I’m not looking to go cheap on this and want a ramp that is of good quality and is plenty wide as some seem pretty narrow. I’m also open to aluminum or steel.
What ramp are you using and happy with?
I needed ramps for a lot more than sleds and atvs. These have been great for us. Black Widow heavy duty

Yutrax is the brand of both of my ramps. I started with the standard tri-fold ramp for ATV’s and Snowmobiles and was happy. When I upgrade to a SXS, I went with the Extreme Duty Arched Yutrax 2-pc ramps for extra weight and to accommodate the wider stance, I needed 2-piece ramps. I keep the tri-fold ramps for snowmobiles still, as they have a pywood insert channel on them. Both have worked well for years with zero complaints.
I’m not sure the brand that I use, but I prefer a single folding ramp versus the two piece ones. The single ramp is heavier but to me the single folding ramp is a more functional option. As an added bonus I will often carry it along in my sled for early ice when using an ATV… It can be used as a temporary bridge for any small cracks that frequently can open up with temperature changes over the course of a day on larger lakes like Mille Lacs.

Me too.
Get the longest ramp possible would be my advice. Anything you can do to reduce the “climb angle” makes loading easier. I have the trifold ramp and the only thing I wish is that it was even longer. To me the extra weight is totally worth any increase in ease of loading.

I agree on getting away from the steep angles. I have the 94″ and they are arched, which is a great feature. My buddy has the 108″ for his truck which also has a 5″ lift.
