How do ramps calculate their load?

[txdon]

I went with these ramps: Ride Master Arched UTV Trailer Ramps 5'5" Long | DiscountRamps.com

Lightweight - 15 lbs ea.
5" spacing - for ZRT front wheels
Arched - so mower deck does not bottom out on edge of trailer
3,000 lb weight limit - no worries of overloading.
20 1/4" wide - for ZRT rear wheels
tie down straps included

Thanks for all the suggestions.
I'll pick up the golf cart in a few weeks and I anticipate no problems.

They look like great choice.

I think I have it narrowed down to this one. Tri-Fold Aluminum ATV Pickup Truck Ramps | DiscountRamps.com Criteria: wider than 50" but less than 60", spaces in ramp 3" or less (for front wheels of ZRT), at least 5' long, minimum 1500 lbs. weight limit, trifold. If I bypass the tri-fold these would work. Ride Master Arched UTV Trailer Ramps 5'5" Long | DiscountRamps.com Do I need tri-fold for the ZRT mower?

Don;

I think you made a good choice as the 1st one you linked to, with checker plate would have been problematic. I had a pair of aluminum ramps with checker plate surface. If it was even a little wet I had no traction to load my garden tractor. Turf tires are like drag slicks when wet or muddy.

I have a similar style of ramp I was using to load my BX2230 into a deck over trailer. Someone noticed that the plate lip that sits on the trailer deck was separating from the ramps. I think your ramps have three fingers that support the ramps on the trailer. Watch how those are welded. My welds to the plates were cracking after about 2 dozen uses. Jon

Ok, I keep an eye on the welds, good advice.
