Race Ramps Trailer-Mates Tie Down Ramps, 3 Inch Lift
Three Inches of Clearance Where You Need to Reach
Loading a low car into an enclosed trailer is the easy part. Then you are on your stomach on the trailer floor, feeling around a bumper you cannot see, trying to find a tie down point with three inches of air to work in.
Trailer-Mates sit inside the trailer and drive the car up 3 inches once it is in. Race Ramps built them so you can get the car tied down safely without scraping the front bumper on the way in and without lying flat to reach the anchors.
The Front pair has a 7 degree approach and a concave depression the tire settles into, which stops the car rolling in transit. The Rear pair has a 10.9 degree approach and is shaped to drive straight over.
Sold in pairs, front and rear bought separately. Both are 14" wide, rated 1,500 lbs per ramp, for tires up to 12". See all trailer ramps and trailer steps.

Trailer-Mate Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need both the front and the rear pair?
For the full setup, yes. They are shaped differently and sold as two separate pairs, so a complete set is four ramps in total. Ordering only the front pair raises just the front of the car, which is where clearance is usually tightest, and some people start there.
Why is the front shaped differently?
The front has a concave depression that the tire sits down into, which resists the car creeping during transport. The rear is a drive over shape with no dip, so the car rolls on and off without having to climb back over a lip.
Do these replace tie down straps?
No. They make strapping the car easier and help stop it creeping, but the vehicle still has to be properly secured with rated straps to the trailer anchors. Treat the depression as an aid, not a restraint.
Will they fit my trailer?
Each ramp is 14 inches wide, and the front is 40 inches long against 32.75 for the rear. Check your trailer has that much clear floor at each wheel position and enough interior height for the car once it is 3 inches taller. Call us if you want to talk it through.
Do they slide around on the trailer floor?
The traction coating grips a clean floor well. Sweep the area first, and set them square to the direction the car will travel. On a polished aluminum floor, wipe the contact area before positioning them.
