VEVOR 60 x 12 in Aluminum Loading Ramps: features, specs and who they suit

The VEVOR Aluminum Loading Ramps are a pair of 60-inch ramps for rolling motorcycles, bicycles, ATVs and UTVs up onto a truck or trailer. They're made of welded aluminum alloy with a stair-step design, and VEVOR rates them for up to 6,000 lb. Here's what the numbers mean, and what to measure before loading.

Size and construction

Each ramp is 60 inches long and 12 inches wide (about 152 x 30 cm), with a main beam 2.36 inches (6 cm) thick. VEVOR says the thick beam carries heavy loads without bending or sagging. The ramps are welded, with a smooth surface and no sharp edges that could cut your hands.

Aluminum is a common material for loading ramps because it's much lighter than steel for the same strength and doesn't rust the way bare steel does. That matters when ramps live in a truck bed or a damp garage.

What the 6,000 lb capacity covers

VEVOR rates the ramps for up to 6,000 lb (about 2,700 kg), for a deck height of up to 16 inches (about 41 cm). The stair-step design spreads the weight evenly, and the capacity should never be exceeded.

When you compare a load with that figure, use the full weight of the vehicle plus anything on it, not the dry weight from a brochure. The manual is the place to confirm whether the figure applies to each ramp or to the pair, and how it relates to deck height.

Deck height and the loading angle

Deck height matters as much as weight. With 60-inch ramps and a 16-inch deck, the slope works out to roughly 15 degrees. A lower deck, as on many utility trailers, gives a gentler slope. The higher the deck, the steeper the climb, and the more likely a low vehicle or one with a long wheelbase is to scrape or catch where the ramp meets the deck.

VEVOR's figures apply to decks of up to 16 inches. Many pickup tailgates sit higher than that, so measure your own truck or trailer before planning around these ramps.

Grip and holding position

Extra-wide serrated cross rungs give tires something to bite on, and the foot of each ramp has a slip-proof pattern. At the top, a hooked end fits closely against the back of the vehicle. The listing also describes an extension plate and adjustable safety straps for keeping the ramps in place; check what's included in the set.

Follow VEVOR's instructions for setting up and securing the ramps, and set them up on firm, level ground with each ramp lined up with the wheels.

Moving them and putting them away

The hollow stair-step design keeps the ramps light enough to carry and position by hand. When they're not in use, they put away compactly in a garage or in the bed of a truck.

Who they suit

They suit anyone loading motorcycles, bicycles, ATVs or UTVs onto a trailer, a pickup or a box truck, as long as the deck sits within the 16-inch height and the load is within VEVOR's capacity.

What to check before you buy

• Deck height: measure your tailgate or trailer deck; VEVOR's figures apply up to 16 inches.
• Weight: the full weight of the vehicle and anything on it, and whether the capacity is per ramp or for the pair.
• Wheel width and spacing: make sure the 12-inch width suits your tires, and that the two ramps can be spaced to match the vehicle's wheels.
• Ground clearance: check that the vehicle clears the point where the ramps meet the deck.
• What's in the box: confirm whether straps and an extension plate come with the set.
