Made from extruded aluminum, each top clamps over a 2\" x 8\" board, securing it to form a durable ramp edge. The set includes tailgate pads to protect painted surfaces and basic mounting hardware so you can assemble and use the ramps quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do these ramp tops turn ordinary boards into safe loading ramps?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MAXXHAUL ramp tops slip over the end of a 2\" x 8\" board and lock the lumber in place, creating a reinforced lip and channel that stabilizes the board under load. The aluminum extrusion adds structural strength while keeping the kit lightweight and rust-resistant. A textured tread on the top surface improves grip for equipment tires and foot traffic, reducing the chance of slips during loading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eClamps onto standard 2\" x 8\" boards to form a rigid ramp edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtruded aluminum construction resists corrosion and bending\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon‑skid top surface increases traction for wheels and feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes mounting hardware for secure installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat weight can each ramp handle, and how is capacity determined?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach ramp top is rated for up to 700 pounds, giving the paired set a combined 1,400-pound capacity when used as two ramps. Capacity depends on both the aluminum top and the strength of the wooden 2\" x 8\" boards used; choose straight, sturdy lumber without splits for maximum load performance. Always verify the board condition and the load weight before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIndividual ramp rating: 700 lb; two ramps combined: 1,400 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBoard selection directly affects total load capacity—use quality 2\" x 8\" lumber\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEvenly distribute the load between ramps for safe lifting and rolling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these protect my truck’s tailgate and stay secure during use?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit includes protective pads that sit against the tailgate to minimize scratching and dent risks while the ramps are in use. Rubber or foam pad material cushions contact points and helps prevent shifting, and the supplied mounting hardware secures the aluminum tops to the lumber. For extra security, inspect pads and fasteners before each use and consider tying off the ramps when loading heavier items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProtective tailgate pads reduce paint damage and metal-to-metal contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMounting hardware provides a fast, reliable attachment to boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePads and hardware help prevent lateral movement while loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow portable and versatile are these ramp tops for different jobs?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lightweight aluminum pieces keep the kit easy to carry and store, and because the system uses common 2\" x 8\" lumber, you can customize ramp length and angle for many loading situations. Use them for trucks, trailers, sheds, ATVs, lawn mowers, and short-term job sites where a permanent ramp isn’t practical. When not in use the compact tops take up minimal space in a tool chest or truck bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight construction makes carrying and storage simple\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with different board lengths to adapt ramp angle and reach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGreat for temporary, mobile, or multi-purpose loading needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? This MAXXHAUL Aluminum Ramp Top Kit is aimed at homeowners, landscapers, contractors, and recreational vehicle owners who want a flexible, portable ramp solution without buying full-length metal ramps. It’s a practical choice if you already have or can source quality 2\" x 8\" boards and need a reliable way to move equipment safely into trucks, trailers, or storage spaces. Inspect boards and hardware before each use and follow safe loading practices to get the best performance from your ramp system.\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 these ramp tops fit any 2\" x 8\" board?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, they are designed for standard 2\" x 8\" boards; ensure boards are straight, undamaged, and rated for your load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Do the ramp tops include pads to protect my tailgate?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes, the kit includes protective pads that cushion the tailgate and help prevent scratches and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"MAXXHAUL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48087203971230,"sku":"B01MQVYNTS","price":36.29,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/2041\/9486\/files\/maxxhaul-ramp-top-front-view.jpg?v=1785918853","url":"https:\/\/northtrailauto.ca\/products\/maxxhaul-aluminum-ramp-top-kit-2-pack-converts-2x8-boards-to-1-400-lb-non-skid-loading-ramps","provider":"North Trail Auto","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
