race ramp storage on open trailer
« on: August 30, 2016, 01:13:17 PM »
Anyone have any solutions already engineered up for race ramp storage on an open trailer? I have setteld on a 20 ft Featherlite...and then someday getting their wheel rack. I figure then I can fab up a holder for my race ramps. But instead of reinventing the wheel, I thought i would see if anyone has it sorted.

I could not find anything prefab'd

Thought I had a photo, but can't find one. I bought a new 68" x 12' Aluma trailer for my lakester, with aluminum arched 6' ramps. I had the dealer weld a pair of "stakes" on one side of each ramp which sit in stake-pockets along each side near the front of the trailer's side rails. A latch pin holds each one in place. Works well.

Edit: I found a picture.

They sure look like candidates for a tongue mounted storage box.

Jack, as per usual, a nice clean solution for what can be a perplexing problem.  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

They are 80 inches long. Not sure how they will fit in a tongue box?

It looked to me like they were in two sections. Is there a web site?

Lots of different configurations. Should be able to come up with something with a race ramp and another for something really shallow and all components that would fit in a tongue mounted box.
