The angle on the ramp is steep and hubby has been OK so far. With that being said, we are looking at ways to decrease the angle. Our worry is trying to load the bikes if the ramp is wet. It would be easy to slip at that angle.
Some thoughts are to load the bikes with the trailer disconnected from the truck. Then we could raise the front end of the trailer and lower the back ramp for less angle.
Our other thought was to almost ‘extend’ the ramp by putting block/wedges at the outside top of the back door. Then when it drops down, it would be about 4 or more inches off the ground. Then have a ramp that was ‘piano’ hinged to the top inside of the door. When you fold down the additional ramp you bridge the gap between the existing ramp and the ground. Again, trying to soften the angle of entry into the trailer. I hope i’m explaining it OK.
We bought our trailer to haul the bikes and/or our Hobie kayaks. We have only been out twice so we’re still figuring everything out.
I hope this helps in some way.
