This is not a "how-to" video. This is a commercial.
Well, this was a bad how to load video.
It was a good how to spend lots of $$$$ for ramps.
If ALL of these things are too weak, then why does he keep riding the ATV up & down on them? 🤔
These ramps are fantastic. I had the long set when I had my lifted truck and bought the shortest set when I bought my new truck that is stock. These ramps are better than any other ramp out there, hands down. Plus they're made in the USA. I'm sold on them for sure.
I came up with a safe fool proof way to load my atv in my truck. I have a winch on the front which I attach to a hook in the front of the truck bed. With the front tires lined up with the ramp and the ATV in neutral I use the remote winch cable to pull it up the ramp and into the bed. Sitting on the ATV to steer isn't necessary and adds too much weight. As the ATV is pulled up I check to make sure tires are lined up in the process. In getting the ATV out of the truck I use the same remote system. Very safe with little chance of injury to myself, the truck or ATV.

That is exactly the way I load into my truck. Extremely unsafe to drive an atv up, or back down ramps into a truck. Donnie D
And all ramp manufactures tell you NOT ride while loading, use a winch. Read the instructions..............
I do the same
I do the same. Riding up or down a ramp is unsafe.
I bought a set of Longramps a while ago. They really are good. The 8t ft length really makes it easier to drive up them and they are sturdy as heck.
Shouldn't these be strapped to the hitch or something to keep them from kicking out if your tires spin or when backing off?
Inspect the truck’s tailgate cables , they are intended to hold an unfolded tailgate and not much other weight . The rubber coating holds moisture in the cable’s strands . Let Crosby fabricate a strong set for your tailgate . Lubricate the cables .
I just got a polaris sportsman 450. Your videos have helped so much. Thanks
One of the "weak" ramps in the vid, I have them and they are made for 1500 pounds so this kinda sounds like a scam to me
Big time! I have a set of trifold ramps for my outlander max xt. A beefy bike, and the ramps don't flinch. I think there might be some backdoor sponsorship with this vid.
Scott Peddle How is it backdoor sponsorship? It says it below the screen that the video is sponsored.
These look like great ramps, but won’t fit under your quad once on your truck.
I have the Black Widow 94 inch tri-fold ramps. Plenty wide for my 700 Kodiak and not steep.
And I just store them under the machine. But they are heavy at 60lbs.
Me: this is a well made how to video I really appreciate it.
Video: "....UNTIL NOW"
Me: I KNEW IT WAS AN AD
Step 1. Buy a fucking utility trailer. Step 2. Use it.
Common sense....thought it was fucking dead. What a breath of fresh air
"Longer truely is better"- lester's word of wisdom ;)
*cue product placement*
best way to load your atv 100% safety using your own winch , go to low'e get you a u bracket install other end truck bed and winch it self in
One piece ramps are still the best, and when you tie them down, use a ratchet strap and move the anchor point to the top of the ramp as much as possible, it will secure the ramp to prevent "kick-out" the lower the anchor point is placed the less effective it is. The Canadian Safety Council recommends you "push" your ATV off the back of the truck for maximum safety, as loading and unloading are one of the leading causes of injuries and collisions. If done correctly many style of ramps can be used in a safe and secure manner. Its all about operator awareness.
Yeah ok ok but that truck 😍😍😍😍😍
For the price point you can get a 5x9 utility trailer at tractor supply for 200 more.
Yes but now you have to find a place to park that trailer also maintenance and insurance and registration and if you don’t have a place to park it then u have to pay for storage 🤦♂️
Also cause of the size of the tires on the trailer you really can’t go that fast enough maybe 60 miles an hour when on some trailers you can go up to 80 miles an hour .
Place a spare tire up against the front of the bed will prevent the broken window scenerio.Also,a trailer is 100% safer; and a pickup tailgate will take a pounding loading wheelers on trucks.The 2 worst things about a trailer is they beat and thrash along behind you,making for a noisy trip to wherever;and,it can be hard to turn around with a trailer in real world apps....So,I like the long ramps,but they look like something a thief would love to run away with.
I've used blocks of wood on the floor to stop the machine from going too far forward. On most utility quads, the front bumper sticks out too far and will smash your back window before the tires hit the front of the bed.
With a trailer strap the ATV down and use cinder block or blocks of wood in front of the tires. Then put the E-brake on works like a charm
That's why I lock up my long ramps while I'm riding.
Due to an eye injury I just cant use a dual ramp system. I would love to be able to stop hauling with a trailer but just have not seen (no pun intended) a truck loading system I am comfortable using.
How did you get the ramps shown at the end with the ability to hook onto tubes on the black lifted truck? I went on their website and do not see any ramps with that option....
Got a trifold ramp that works just fine.
If someone is gonna constantly complain about having to fold n unfold the ramps or you feel unsafe while loading or unloading then buy a damn trailer.
Don't be careless while setting up your ramps and purchase those that are rated for what you'll be using them for.
Use common sense and you will be just fine.
Don't they have tie straps?
How y’all unfolded the trifold ramp and places it was almost cringe worthy lol. Lay them down then unfold them
how well do the ramps fit in your truck after you have loaded it. do they compact enough to fit underneath or do they have to go on the side?
synchro
Wow watching you unfold the trifold ramps is all wrong. Idk if you did it to make the ones you’re advertising look better or if you really don’t know how to unfold them. Lay the ramp folded on the tailgate. Then unfold whichever way your ramps unfold. Nothing awkward. If anything they’re the easiest to set up because there’s no lining up the ramps just right. The best ramp to buy IMO are the aluminum trifold ramp from harbor freight. They come with a safety chain built in where you can twist it to tighten them. They’re the cheapest at only a $100 compared to other trifold ramps. They’re also safe. I had older steel ramps and I felt at any moment strapped or not I could be on the ground. I got these and when I’m riding up I feel safe. They also look good too. 1500 pound capacity is more than enough to handle your four wheeler or dirt bike as well.
I just bought the Harbor Freight tri-fold ramp and think it is a good value and a nice sturdy ramp. But in my opinion, it is too short by at least 12" resulting in an unsafe incline. The tabs that sit on the ledge of the truck gate are not as beefy as they should be, and after one use, the cushy sticky tape tore off due to the weight and compression while loading. I am returning the Harbor Freight ramp and will be ordering one of these in the 8' length.
Whoever's dad this is take away his 4wheeler please 🙏😂😂
I use the YuTrax Ramps brand
do you med to worry about you trail gate cable braking?
u shouldn't worrie about it unless its a ford
@@jasonmorehouse3756 lmao
Would you say 2wd and in low range to load? Or 4wd and high range to load?
Best way to unload a atv without reverse? Put in neutral and push?
Or, put it in neutral and pull from the top of a rear tire while standing to the side.
Ramps I have rated at 1500 pounds, better then a metal window shade.
Advertising at its finest. Good video but this was either paid for or your business man.
I wish they had this for mowers.
that wat she said.
I could use your help please. I have an 03 Tacoma ext cab 4x4 with a 2 inch lift. Getting my 14 YFZ450R is a pain since the front tires don't clear the wheel wells in my bed at all. What would be a good ramp to help me with this situation? Thank you :)
Buy a small trailer. It won't cost much more and will be much safer.
@@gregrowe1168 Did you ever solve this problem? I have a trailer myself, but I don't always want to use it.. Especially when I'm in the backcountry.. You can't really tow a trailer up old logging roads, so being able to have the ATV in the tacoma seems like a much better idea.
what is you have really wide tires
Is it safe to load on to a tailgate? It doesn't appear to be "load rated"
@@jasonmorehouse3756 where have you seen that I can find no manufacturer that states tailgate load capacity
Any atv I can fit in a Ridgeline 2006?
I have a 8 inch lift on my ram so how can I do that his now
You guys are going to be well
like black mambas or silverbacks
Ta ta ta ta tadayyyy jr......
If you can afford a pickup truck and an atv then you can probably afford a trailer to safely and conveniently transport it
i never use a ramp. but maybe i should?
Thats funny most if not all tri fold ramps are rated for 1500 pounds ...... how heavy are you . Most utility atvs are 700-800 pounds .. time for ypu to go on a diet if your Weight makes up the difference for the 1500 pound rating.
Unless your atv is from Walmart sure it weighs between 700to 800 lbs my 600cc utility quad weighs 915lbs with no rider or gas.
People get a trailer, and ride hard or stay home!
For the low price of almost $400 I’d hope they were a little better. No thanks, my 1500lb rated ramps that are a 1/3 the price will do just fine.
I hate how everything is tailored for people that can afford the best of the best products. A lot of us are real world blue collar workers that want to see good products we can afford. Not the overpriced products we simply can’t afford or would need to put that money elsewhere on our rigs.
And only 390 dollars more than the competition hahahahha
Gee I wonder who he works for????
She said
Hm. I guess my ad block isn't working.
Hmmm, must not have been working for the past 7 years. This is a pretty old video, dude.
@@dirttraxtv That doesn't even make sense. I only saw it today. You're probably just as cringe, considering you're responding to this. Lol
"ouuuut" oolllol
nice commercial
Pro tip, if you’re gonna try and sell a product, don’t show footage of the competition’s product doing the exact same thing in a simpler fashion
On the lastm0art someone should have yelled that's what she said.
3:59 that’s what she sed
349.99 no thanks...
cheaper than a new tailgate or quad repair! I have seen a cheap set fold under the weight and damage both.
why does allmost all these videos have to add the obnoxious background music?
yat uiookb
U
Commen sence is dead
$700 for a ramp? Gtfo 😂
