Warning

Failing to follow ALL of these instructions could result in

personal injury.

1. Never overload ramps. Maximum capacity for your

ramp when using 3/4” plywood is 600 lbs (evenly

distributed). Thin or poor quality decking material will

reduce capacity.

2. Always make sure that the ramp support fingers

completely overlap the lifting surface. The top of the ramp

must be secured to the lifting surface to prevent it from

slipping and/or falling.

3. Carefully roll or winch equipment up or down ramp.

Never drive or ride your equipment while loading or

unloading.

4. Maximum lift is 3” for each foot of ramp length.

5. Always use the ramp on a solid, level surface.

6. Inspect ramp before each use. Tighten any loose

hardware, replace any worn or damaged parts. Proper

care and maintenance of the ramps is essential to safety.
