INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE OF THE LOAD-TRAX RAMP
SAFETY TIE-DOWN STRAP
Working load limit: 400 lbs or 180 kg
Break strength: 1200 lbs or 540 kg
2. Assure your required loading height conforms to the diagram in FIGURE 1 below.
3. Before each use inspect the ramp for any visible damage. Do not use if damaged in any way.
4. Make sure the loading vehicle is parked with the emergency brake engaged, wheels
chocked and the engine turned off to pervent moving while loading or unloading.
5. Center loading ramp on loading surface (typically a tailgate or trailer edge) with full length
of ramp fingers placed firmly on top of the loading surface. Movement of ramps may
scratch mounting surface of vehicle.
6. Make sure the ramp(s) are aligned at the proper distance apart so the tires of the equipment
being loaded or unloaded are centered on each of the ramps.
7. If using more than one ramp, take extra care to ensure BOTH ramps are properly aligned so
that both wheels are centered on the ramps.
8. Attach the S-hook for each ramp being used. Run the strap from the underside of the ramp
to be secured to a structural member (bumper, frame or chassis) of the vehicle to be
loaded or unloaded as shown in FIGURE 2 below. Make sure the ramp strap(s) are in line
with the ramp section it is holding in place as shown in FIGURE 3. Strap(s) must be securely
tightened by pulling the strap end coming out of the buckle.
9. Carefully roll equipment up or down the ramp(s). NEVER DRIVE OR RIDE EQUIPMENT UP OR
DOWN THE RAMP!
10. After the use of the ramp is complete, push the cam labeled “press” to loosen and remove
1. Attach the strap to the ramp by wrapping the strap around the cross tread closest to the
ramp fingers. Then loop the S-hook and strap through the end loop as shown here.
