Capacity & Compatibility

Q: What is the weight capacity of the Mockins loading ramps?
A: The steel ramp set supports 700 lbs per ramp (1,400 lbs per pair). The aluminum ramp set supports 600 lbs per ramp (1,200 lbs per pair). Always include the weight of fuel, cargo, and any rider in your total.

Q: Is the capacity per ramp or per pair?
A: Capacity is rated per ramp. The pair rating applies when the load is spread across both ramps, such as an ATV or mower with one wheel on each. A motorcycle that rolls up a single ramp should be kept under the single-ramp rating.

Q: What can I load with these ramps?
A: They are designed for motorcycles, dirt bikes, ATVs, lawn mowers, and other wheeled equipment such as carts and hand trucks, as long as the total weight stays within the rated capacity.

Q: How long are the ramps, and how high can they reach?
A: Each ramp is about 5 ft long (61–63" including the rubber gripper extension). A good rule of thumb is a ramp length of about 3 times the loading height, so these ramps are best suited to loading heights of roughly 20" or less, such as low utility trailers and motorcycle trailers.

Q: Will these ramps work on my pickup truck?
A: It depends on your tailgate or bed height. Many full-size pickups sit roughly 30 to 40 inches off the ground, which would make a 5 ft ramp steep. Measure from the ground to the loading surface and multiply by 3 for the ideal ramp length (for example, a 24" height ideally calls for about 6 ft). If your height is above 20", use extra caution and a spotter, or choose a longer ramp.

Q: How wide are the ramps, and will my tires fit?
A: Each ramp is 9" wide. Motorcycle, dirt bike, scooter, mower, and cart tires fit comfortably. For ATVs, make sure your tire width fits within the ramp so the tire does not overhang the edge.

Q: Can I use these ramps for a car, golf cart, or wheelchair?
A: These are loading ramps for wheeled equipment, not car ramps, and they are not accessibility (ADA) ramps. Only use them if your equipment’s total weight is within the ramp rating.

Q: Should I choose the steel or aluminum ramp set?
A: Steel offers the higher capacity (700 lbs per ramp) and weighs about 10 lbs per ramp. Aluminum is about half the weight at 5 lbs per ramp, with 600 lbs capacity per ramp, and is naturally corrosion-resistant. Choose based on the heaviest load you plan to carry.

Features & Use

Q: What is included with the ramp set?
A: Each set includes two loading ramps, two ratchet straps, and a pair of safety gloves.

Q: How do the ramps stay in place on a tailgate or trailer?
A: A rubber-lined gripper at the top end helps keep the ramp from slipping. For extra stability, use the included ratchet straps to anchor each ramp to a tie-down point, and make sure the ramp rests fully on the loading surface.

Q: Is the ramp surface slippery?
A: The perforated traction surface is designed to improve tire grip while loading and unloading. Keep it clear of mud, oil, snow, and ice, and use extra caution in wet or icy conditions.

Q: How do I carry and store the ramps?
A: Each ramp has built-in nylon handles for easy carrying. At 5 lbs (aluminum) or 10 lbs (steel) each, they are easy to lift and store in a truck bed, trailer, or garage.

Q: How do I load a motorcycle or ATV safely?
A: Set both ramps level and straight, with the rubber grippers firmly on the loading surface. Line up your tires with the center of the ramp, use a spotter, load with slow and steady momentum without stopping mid-ramp, and strap the vehicle down once it is in place. Ramps are not a substitute for proper tie-downs.

Q: What ramp angle is safest?
A: A gentler angle is safer. Staying under about 20 degrees is a common guideline, which works out to a ramp roughly 3 times as long as the loading height.

Durability & Maintenance

Q: Are the loading ramps rust-resistant?
A: Aluminum naturally resists rust. The steel ramps are built for long-lasting use, but steel can rust if the finish is scratched, so keep them dry, store them indoors when possible, and touch up any exposed metal.

Q: How do I clean the ramps?
A: Wipe with a damp cloth and mild detergent, and remove mud, oil, and grease from the traction surface so tires keep their grip.

Q: What should I check before each use?
A: Inspect each ramp for bends, cracks, damaged welds, and a worn rubber gripper. Do not use a damaged ramp.

Warranty, Shipping & Returns

Q: What warranty covers the loading ramps?
A: Products sold by Mockins are covered by a 5-Year Limited Warranty against manufacturing defects. It does not cover overloading, misuse, or normal wear.

Q: Is shipping free, and what is the return policy?
A: Shipping is free within the contiguous U.S. and Canada, and orders ship within 1 business day. You have 30 days from delivery to request a return of unused items.
