Product Review – ReadyRamp

With our ReadyRamp assembled it was time to see how it worked. I know you are thinking, how hard could it be to use a ramp!

The ReadyRamp is more than a ramp, not only is it used to load bikes on and off the back of our Navara or any ute for that matter, but it also folds down to act as a Tray Extender, making it a very versatile product, that not only extents the length of your Ute's tray, but also ensures more room is made available in the tray as the ramp you need to carry becomes your "Saftey Net" and gives you that extra peice of mind that nothing is going to slide straight off the back of your vehicle while you are traveling down the highway.

The ramp that is made from 6061 aluminium with cast aluminium hinges and comes in at 2.26 Meters long when fully extended, which is longer than any of the previous ramps that I had tried. The longer ramp means a reduced incline when loading up our Suzuki RM-Z 250 and on flat ground I can get away with just using the single ramp to load and unload our bike.

At 370mm wide the ramp is more than wide enough to accommodate any dirt bike and with a single point load capacity of 272kg, bike weight is never going to be an issue and weighing in at just under 10kg it is light way and easy to move around.

Securing the ramp on to the Ute once your bike is loaded could not be more simple. The ramp comes with a variety of attachments to suit most vehicles to ensure a secure fit. In our case with the Nissan Navara D22, the ramp is held on via a upper hook on each side that locks into the existing locking point for the tail gate, with a lower attachment taking advantage of the locking pins on the tray itself.
