I'm making something similar for a gentleman who originally wanted aluminum but it's a lot more expensive so he went steel but I'd love to make something like this out of aluminum
Had a similar one of those on my service truck. The only difference was that it mounted to the fittings where the tailgate went. Worked great for small equipment. However had an employee TRY to drive a VertiCutter (HEAVY sod cutter) machine up the ramp, causing the ramp to buckle and collapse.
So far I have only taken a 375lb brush cutter up (stage one is testing WITH the DECKED system and I don't think I want to try to get a full mower up on it) but it felt solid as can be.
I am not sure I am going to try to take a full mower up due to safety, but I have gotten a 375lb brush cutter up (future video, photo on community tab). I don't think many people at all will run a Ramp Rack Sport WITH a DECKED system, but since I already had the DECKED system on I wanted to play around and test it out to answer the question for posterity.
The dovetail opening is 51.5" wide (same as most wheel wells) so up to a 48" mower will fit without removing the sides. The dovetail sides can be temporarily or permanently removed to allow wider equipment to be loaded. The ramp latch is on the bottom of the dovetail so loading wider equipment will not interfere with that.
Seems nice and easy to do after seeing it one time lol what is the weight that it can hold? And after you have it installed, do you just take it off from the hitch or does more have to come off it? Looks good
Seriously considering this because of your videos. I use the work truck to pull a camper on the weekends. Think this would be hard to take off and put back on with the help of another person? Or is that going to be a lot of work?
To be fair I have not removed it yet, but Ramp Rack (Wyatt) has a video where he removes it in 4 minutes. And that is while he is explaining it to the camera, so I am confident if you did it a half dozen times you could get it down to a 4-5 minute procedure. Probably the most aggravating part would just be finding storage for it, but most everything could lean up against the wall so I don't think that would even be too bad.
Bannerman makes a similar unit which hooks into existing side pockets where tailgate mounts into. If I'm not mistaken, it does not use the hitch for installation. Worth checking out!
i see it as a good idea if u did t want to spend for the trailer..i see a bad idea, bc brad has one and we knw he is going to try more then a 325lb brush cutter...😅
I definitely understand the concept of this set up but seems like a very dedicated system since you loose the back up camera and towing ability of the truck, specially if you have other trailers boat, rv , etc. Nevertheless great install.

Nice. I just dont get how you will drive a mower ontop of that box in the bed? Seems to me you need to take that out, but perhaps I missed something :-)

Also leaves your truck more useful. And if you use your personal truck for work and makes it go back to a normal truck and not a work truck all day everyday.
I agree, but I don't think they are trying to say EVERYONE can dump their trailer. Ramp Rack in general is (in my opinion) for folks who only need 1 or 2 mowers to run their business, don't need them to be big 60" or 72" decks, runs in an area where a trailer can be a pain to park (small developments where a truck+trailer means you are so long you bock driveways no matter where you park), people who don't want the ongoing cost of trailers (stuff like maintenance, wheels, tires, tire pressure checks, deck board replacements, insurance, registration, etc). Will probably do a video breaking all this down. So all that said, I don't think you are wrong but the trailer has a lot of cons compared to this that may make the Ramp Rack a more welcome option.
For storage? It depends on how big the garage is and how cluttered it is, I suppose, but as long as you have either floor space or leaning wall space, yes.
I'm gonna watch this thing and give it a thumbs up, but I swear, if there aren't any Evil Knievel style stunts performed off this thing, I'm gonna be super disappointed in you.
I’d love to see this in aluminum, this would make it a game changer for snow removal.

@@joeeckard4863 how much would it cost?
@@ehood87 can I find you on FB or Instagram? I'd rather DM about it. And to have one adequate or just the material itself
Awesome stuff 👌
watch you from France and I love your videos🇫🇷😍
Been super excited for this video, thank you Brad!
This looks pretty cool, I wish I’d had the sense at 17 to not deadlift my push mower in and out of the back of my dad’s truck!
Love how human you are!
Their design has changed a lot from the original 😉Looks good👍
just a sport model still have the original
I love this kind of video

That's a bad day..
I think you will be very happy with how this Sport unit is built, it's made to handle the job 👍

@@CopperCreekCuts the Verticutter weighed 850lbs plus the 250lbs of the worker. To much for our ramp at that time. (back in the early 90's)
Thats super sweet!
Very cool
I think the ramp rack is perfect for urban areas with one way streets and road work all over the place you save space.
What are you gonna do about the storage boxes, I think there in the eay

I can see 1 or the other being nice ! Let’s slap a tonneau cover on .lol
I love the decked systems too.
8:42 for the guy that does all the power washing videos… Look at those sidewalks!
In dutch there is a saying: The car mechanic always has the most broke car
The shoemaker's son goes barefoot 😁
That is Nice
This is so cool! I want it, I notice it goes a bit inward, would it fit a 36-42” mower ?

I was just going to say yes, but Wyatt's answer is much more elegant! :D

your link to the store is returning an error.
Im looking for parts two

It's pretty easy check out the removal video on The Ramp Racks TH-cam page. Takes less than 5 min.

Would you mind sharing where did you get your back window done for your truck I love It I’m a small lawn bussiness here I’m Florida
Spyder industries

There are mounting holes built in to the dovetail support so you add a aftermarket or OEM upfitter back up camera.
@@wyattfarmer7223 Hey! Include that in the instructions as well, I had no clue! :D
The “collars” are side plates. And how are you going to load mowers with the decked system in the bed?
Yea the decked system can’t take the weight of a mower if I’m not mistaken.
The title says Ramp Install, not Deck Uninstall.
@@FishFind3000 you can load 2k lbs on top of the decked system
@@Ecozzy0123 still want to see him get a mower on top of it.😋😋🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

I’m trying to grow my business Brad. What’s the best budget commercial from Gravely Mowers?
I need to buy one of those saves time unloading 👍
How tall is it? I want to make sure it will fit under my car port. Thanks!

You still use this rack and how has it held up? Thank you.
Step 1 buy the ramp
sweet ramp.. use Loctite next time.
3:12 Good reminder!
To each his own, but a trailer is more versatile.
Also leaves your truck more useful. And if you use your personal truck for work and makes it go back to a normal truck and not a work truck all day everyday.

Will it fit inside home garage?
Thanks for the video
For storage? It depends on how big the garage is and how cluttered it is, I suppose, but as long as you have either floor space or leaning wall space, yes.

Good broo
What is the maximum deck size on a zero turn mower that can fit on that ramp?
The ramp is (I think) 50" wide. The limiting factor would be your truck dimensions, I think.
Do you or anybody else know if this fits a Colorado?
It should fit it just fine. Double check the measurements on their website.
Since you won’t be using that aluminum hitch anymore let me have it 😏
LOL!
Hi
Kolay gelsin
Wish it did not take up the opportunity to tow a trailer! Kinda a deal breaker
I'm gonna watch this thing and give it a thumbs up, but I swear, if there aren't any Evil Knievel style stunts performed off this thing, I'm gonna be super disappointed in you.
Stay tuned for the stunts!😁
what th fuck are u gonna fit on that truck bed a bicycle
