How to Load Your Motorcycle Safely
- Always ensure to load at the recommended load height and within capacity. EU guidelines recommend a maximum gradient of 30% or 1:3.3.
- Rest the ramp onto a flat even surface, for example on a flatbed vehicle, van or step. Ensure the foot (base) of the ramp is resting securely on the ground.
- Secure the ramp to your van or trailer using the safety straps provided.
- Aluminium motorbike ramps should only be used to load motorbikes, quad bikes, ATVs and similar. Do not use the ramp to load tracked machinery such as diggers or items with solid wheels including flight cases as this can damage the ramps and void the warranty.
