The recommended load height (the height of the truck bed or trailer) for the SR-B5 ramp is from 30″ at the lowest to 38″ at the highest with the optimal height at 34″. The recommended load height for the SR-B6 ramp is from 36″ at the lowest to 44″ at the highest with the optimal height at 40″. This range covers the vast majority of truck beds except for extremely tall lifted trucks.

There are a variety of factors to consider when purchasing a Step Ramp, but the most critical is the height of the truck bed that you will be using to transport your motorbikes, and how that effects the angle that the ramp will be at during use. We’ve made a handy angle estimator to help get an idea of how that will look on your truck. Once you’ve measured the height of your truck’s bed visit the ramp angle estimator.

Currently we make two ramps. We have a 6′ long Step Ramp® and a 7′ long Step Ramp®. These two ramps cover the vast majority of bed heights – anything from 30″ up to 44″.

The SR-B5 Ramp Dimensions:
Weight: 32 lbs.
Length: 72″
Width Closed: 16″
Width Open: 33″
Height Closed: 5″
Height Open: 3.5″

The SR-B6 Ramp Dimensions:
Weight: 34 lbs.
Length: 82″
Width Closed: 15.25″
Width Open: 31″
Height Closed: 5″
Height Open: 3.5″

Depending on the size of your truck bed the ramps may or may not fit with the tailgate closed. We recommend measuring the inside of your truck bed and comparing that to the length of the ramps. The 5-Step overall length is 72″ and the 6-Step length is 82″. The ramps can be loaded diagonally which will allow them to fit in some beds that they would be too long for if loaded straight. For instance, the pictures below show a Nissan Titan with the 5.5′ short bed (actual overall bed length 67″.) The 5-Step ramp will not fit if loaded straight on, but easily fits when angled under the bike tires.

The steps on the Step Ramp® are permanently affixed to the left of the ramp, so bikes will always be loaded with the person standing to the left of the motorcycle. If more than one bike needs to be loaded see the next question.

The Step Ramp® can easily be moved from side to side along a tailgate to accommodate loading multiple bikes. To load a second or third bike you simply move the ramp slightly to the left or right as needed to clear the first bike, making sure to reattach and tighten the safety strap before loading each bike.

The ramps were designed primarily for dirt bikes, motocross bikes, and other high ground clearance motorcycles like adventure bikes, but not necessarily for Harley’s or street bikes. The issue you may have with street bikes is their low ground clearance. The ramp has a suggested safe load height range (bed or trailer height) of 30-38″. When set up in that range a street bike may not have enough ground clearance to get over the edge of the truck bed and could get hung up / high-centered. If you are attempting to load into a lower trailer or truck bed than recommended, the steps will be angled too far downward and will be awkward and potentially dangerous to be stepping on as your feet could easily slide down through. For this reason we do NOT recommend using a Step Ramp to load street bikes.

The Step Ramp® has a 5 year limited warranty.

The ramps are shipped via UPS or FedEx ground freight.
