RAMP EXTENDER POSITIONING

HOW TO POSITION RAMP EXTENDERS
CORRECTLY 
 
Make sure you place the edge of the ramp into the
lip of the ramp extender. 

Make sure that BOTH ramp extenders fit into the lip
as shown.

Also ensure that both extenders are placed either directly together and or spaced apart equally as
needed for each specific item to be loaded. See examples listed below.

VERY IMPORTANT
• Make sure that the emergency brake is set and/or engaged before using the ramp extenders.
• Shifting of the ramp may occur while loading and unloading using the ramp extenders as the
weight of the item you are moving may push the ramp and extenders ever so slightly. Always
ensure that the edge of the ramp is firmly set into the lip of the ramp extender, each and every
time you load and unload any item. 

For example, you will
want to place and use
the extenders together
to load a motorcycle.

The ramp extenders can be used for various applications such as loading motorcycles, stand-on
mowers, flooring equipment, and golf carts. The extenders can be positioned in several different ways
in order to accommodate the item that is to be loaded.

For a lawn mower, you
may have to spread the
extenders apart to fit the
wheel base of the
mower to the ramp.
