12' Motorcycle Loading Ramp, Arched, Big Boy EZ Rizer by Black Widow

I have used this product a lot to load a moving truck and access high ground without extra steps to get to the loading area. I love that it collapses to store, I can keep it in the same truck I am using without taking up a lot of space

I thought this was a clever idea, but once I got the ramp(s) I was less impressed. I bought two of the single ramps, because at one time, they were much cheaper to buy that way, it may have been a mistake as the price immediately went up to the price shown on the manufacturers site after my purchase. The problem with the ramps is that those traction devices make the ramp more difficult to handle when manhandling the ramps into position. Better wear gloves, and hope you are not wearing shorts or its going to bite you. Riding a motorcycle up the ramps the first time is certainly a stressful event, but worked okay, I doubt you want to try to stop in the middle though, you need to sort of commit if you want to ride it up. Coming down the ramp was much more eventful than I was planning though. Basically I tried it with a smaller cruiser (Honda Magna) and my full sized Road Glide. It chewed the tires on both bikes (pictures of the rubber left behind on the ramp), and basically it was a controlled slide down the ramp, with it slowing down and occasionally stopping when it hit one of those traction devices. The first time with the smaller bike, I used just the front brake, which is tough because backing down the ramp there is almost no weight on the front tire so its not very effective. With the bigger bike, I tried using the clutch (with the bike in gear) and the front brake, but that didn't help as much as I was hoping for either. I may try to start using a winch to allow me to lower the bike in a more controlled manner without tearing up my tires. While I used a couple of these (and then bought a third when I realized how hard it is to back the bike down the ramp straight). The ramps I received from Amazon in Dec 2018, where rated at 1000lb each. I ordered an open box directly from discount ramps and with the same part number, it is now 1500lbs, which is great except the spring clips from the old ramps don't work with the new ramps since they are about 1/2 deeper.

Works perfectly loading to a higher truck.

Outstanding!!!
