Motorcycle Ramp 72in Aluminum Loading Ramp for Trucks - 440 lb

In this review the focus is on a single, practical item: a one-piece aluminum motorcycle ramp designed for pickups and tailgate carriers. The bottom line is simple: if you need a lightweight, rustproof ramp that makes loading a dirt bike into a truck bed straightforward, this ramp delivers dependable performance for most recreational motorcycles and small trail bikes. The ramp's biggest selling point is the combination of an ample 72in length and a 440 lb maximum load capacity, which together make loading safer and easier without adding much weight to your gear.

Key Features

• 72in length: The extended length reduces the approach angle so pushing a bike up the ramp is less strenuous and safer for the rider or helper.
• 440 lb load capacity: Rated capacity covers most dirt bikes and small dual sport motorcycles commonly transported in pickups and on carriers.
• Lightweight aluminum construction: The ramp weighs roughly 8 lbs and is easy to carry, store, and position without adding significant bulk to your kit.
• Nonslip perforations: Holes in the ramp surface prevent water accumulation and provide traction in wet conditions, improving safety in rain or mud.
• Raised guiding edges: Raised sides help center a tire during loading so there is less risk of slipping off the ramp while rolling or winching a bike up.
• Simple compatibility: Designed for pickup beds, trailers, and hitch carriers, the ramp is versatile for common vehicle setups.

Who It's For

This ramp is aimed at weekend riders, trail enthusiasts, and anyone who transports a small to mid-size dirt bike in a pickup truck or on a hitch carrier. Its 72in length and 440 lb rating suit bikes with tires up to the specified diameter and riders who value a lightweight, rust-resistant option that is easy to move by one person.

It is less appropriate for large adventure bikes or heavy street motorcycles that exceed the 440 lb limit or have very wide tires beyond the 13 cm maximum tire diameter guideline, and users with those machines should seek heavier duty, wider ramps rated for greater loads.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Aluminum construction keeps the ramp light while resisting rust for outdoor storage and use.
• Good load capacity for most dirt bikes, making it a practical choice for weekend transport.
• Nonslip holes and raised edges improve traction and help guide the tire during loading.

Cons

• The 440 lb limit and 13 cm max tire diameter mean it is not suitable for larger touring or heavy adventure motorcycles.
