When weighing ramp dimensions, you'll need to select a loading ramp that’s best suited for your particular vehicle and cargo however, this choice isn’t as simple as buying a truck ramp for a pickup or a van ramp for a cargo van.
While aluminum and steel are both durable, it’s important to note that aluminum ramps are considerably lighter and easier to transport/maneuver than comparable steel ramps. One-piece van ramps are also typically constructed from aluminum, allowing them to support bulky appliances, tool carts, etc. Alloy ramps are ideal for most applications, particularly UTVs, ATVs, dirtbikes, and other sizable cargo. While some loading ramps are manufactured from lighter-grade materials like wood and composites, most feature heavy-duty alloys like steel and aluminum.
