MAXXHAUL 50872 Steel Ramp Top Kit - Quickly Create Your Own Ramps with 2"x8" Planks to Safely Load ATV Motorcycle and Lawn Equipment On and Off Your Vehicle

What It Is

The MAXXHAUL 50872 Steel Ramp Top Kit lets you build custom loading ramps by attaching these steel hook tops to standard 2x8 lumber planks. Designed for loading ATVs, motorcycles, lawn tractors, and zero-turn mowers into pickup trucks or trailers.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Plank size: Requires two 2x8 boards (actual 1.5" x 7.25") cut to your desired ramp length. Standard 8-foot planks work for most trucks.
• Hook spacing: Fits tailgates up to 2" thick. Measure your tailgate or trailer edge before cutting planks.
• Weight capacity: 1,200 lbs per pair (600 lbs per ramp). Fine for most ATVs, lawn tractors, and mid-size zero-turns. Not for heavy UTVs or full-size pickups.
• Universal fit: No brand-specific compatibility. Works with any vehicle that has a flat tailgate or trailer edge. Not for drop-in or step-style tailgates.

Key Things to Know

• Assembly required: You must drill holes and bolt the steel brackets to the planks. Use included carriage bolts and nuts. A drill with a 3/8" bit is essential.
• Plank quality matters: Use pressure-treated or hardwood 2x8s. Avoid warped or cracked boards. Sand edges to prevent splinters.
• No anti-slip included: The steel hooks have no rubber grips. Add traction strips to plank surfaces for wet or muddy tires.
• Storage: Ramps are bulky. Disassemble or store planks separately when not in use. Steel hooks can rust if left exposed.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need affordable, customizable ramps for occasional loading of ATVs, lawn mowers, or motorcycles and you’re comfortable drilling and bolting lumber. Skip it if you want a pre-assembled, folding ramp with built-in traction or if you frequently load heavy equipment over 600 lbs per ramp.
