Instead of carrying full-length metal ramps, you attach the brackets to two oak 2 x 12 boards to create a broad, low-profile ramp. The components are lightweight for easy handling but engineered to give high capacity when paired with the recommended hardwood boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow strong and safe is the ramp kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ramp hardware is designed for high load capacity when used with oak 2 x 12 boards.

The AFA Tooling Truck and Trailer Loading Ramp Kit suits homeowners, landscapers, small-farm operators, and weekend riders who want a wide, stable ramp without hauling bulky metal ramps. It’s ideal for anyone who can supply two oak 2 x 12 boards and needs a portable, high-capacity solution for loading mowers, ATVs, UTVs, or snowmobiles. If you plan to use softer lumber or will regularly load very heavy equipment, choose hardwood boards and confirm fit before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can I use treated or softwood 2 x 12 boards with this kit?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: You can, but treated or softwood boards often differ in thickness and strength; you may need to trim ends and softwood is not recommended for heavier loads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What is the total weight capacity when assembled with recommended boards?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: When paired with oak hardwood 2 x 12 boards, the system supports 750 lbs per side, or 1,500 lbs total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"AFA Tooling Approved for Automotive","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48079829532830,"sku":"B06ZZC385B","price":84.43,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/afa-tooling-front-packaging-aluminum-ramp-kit.jpg?v=1785772002","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/afa-tooling-approved-for-automotive-truck-and-trailer-loading-ramp-kit-2-x-12-aluminum-brackets-non-slip-feet","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
