Question 1

How do straps attach if there are no holes in trailer deck?

Accepted Answer

I attach to frame underneath trailer, also I have 4 tiedowns two at the rear that would work for straps. Or you could drill holes & put some eyelets on back of trailer. You want to keep the straps pulling straight back to the trailer, not on too much of an angle . In my opinion this will not allow the ramp to shift during loading/unloading.My biggest worry is the ramp falling off trailer & bike crashing down during unloading . Loading it tends to push the ramp tight.

Question 2

Is this a one or two piece ramp? i need to load a bike and a harley trike onto a toy hauler. the trike tire width is approximately 50”

Accepted Answer

trike width of 50 inches side wall to side wall, don't buy this ramp!!! ramp just under 7 ft long, 40 in wide when unfolded.  closer to 20 in wide folded up or transported. opens in middle, where it's hinged, but fold would be facing down, no way would ramp fold up on you. you'd have to flip it over for that to theoretically happen. when opened, it is then strapped open in the middle with flat straps. has some tabs at the top end that would go on the sidewalk or onto trailer and fit into grooves there. middle would be strapped open, other end would be on the. underneath, for piece of mind but totally unnecessary, I place like a log/split half log that I put in the gutter to support the ramp. it is then strapped at the top (in my case because I am riding onto a side walk) to something like posts on the chain link gate I have so that it won't slip away as you ride up or down. a fantastic and solid, well-built ramp. I ride a 1984 laverda and wouldn't risk it.  high quality, but for you, it will not fit unless you place side ways, but then might have clearance issue, depending on trike. check their other ramps. great product.

Question 3

Would this ramp work to get a bike in a shed with about an 8 in lift

Accepted Answer

There may be a better solution to span an 8" lift to shed. That said this ramp is very sturdy and the only lighter weight ramp I could find to load my 800 lb. Yamaha Roadliner.

Question 4

What do you mean by "handles the center weight?" That's very ambiguous

Accepted Answer

in the case of Motorcycle use where the weight is all in the center or middle of the ramp. some ramps tend to want to fold in on the sides.Iv;e used mine with a 6'x12' covered trailer for my 08 Road king. it works great and handles the loading & un-loading with no movement. it's a great ramp for the money.
