Easy Daily Handling
Each ramp weighs only 33-38 lbs, so operators can move and place them with less effort.
Lightweight Aluminum Ramps
Loading should not start with wrestling heavy ramps. Southland lightweight aluminum ramps weigh only 33-38 lbs each, making them easier to lift, move, and store. Even with that low weight, they carry a 4,500 lb midspan rating for serious loading confidence.
Stronger Than They Look. Lighter Than You Think.
Ramp weight matters when you load and unload often. Heavy ramps slow the crew down, strain backs, and add dead weight to the trailer. Southland aluminum ramps are built to solve that problem with a strong, light, rust-resistant design. They are a smart fit for personal, commercial, and jobsite use, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, landscaping equipment, and other approved equipment that matches the trailer and ramp specs.
Easier one-person handling
At only 33-38 lbs each, these ramps are easier to lift, carry, line up, and store.
4,500 lb midspan rating
Built to handle demanding loading tasks without relying on heavy ramp weight.
Better payload efficiency
Lighter ramps reduce trailer dead weight, helping protect legal payload for the cargo that pays.
Built to Outlast
A good ramp should be light enough to use every day and strong enough to trust when the work gets serious. Southland aluminum ramps are built around that balance.
Optimized Strength-to-Weight Ratio
The aluminum construction keeps the ramp light without giving up the strength needed for proper loading.
Compact and Portable
The lower weight makes the ramps easier to carry, store, and bring along wherever the job takes you.
Built for Versatile Loading
These ramps are designed for cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs, landscaping equipment, and other approved equipment.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
Why Midspan Rating Matters.
Ramp ratings can be easy to misread. Midspan means the center area of the ramp, where bending stress is usually highest. That is one of the toughest parts of the ramp to support because the load is farthest from either end. Southland aluminum ramps carry a 4,500 lb midspan rating while weighing only 33-38 lbs each. That is the real advantage: strong loading support without dragging around extra dead weight. Still, ramp use must match the actual trailer, ramp spacing, equipment weight, axle layout, tire or track contact area, and loading angle. Do not guess. Always confirm the current model spec sheet before loading heavy equipment.
Frequently Asked Technical Details.
They weigh approximately 33-38 lbs each. That makes them easier to lift, carry, position, and store than many heavier ramp options.
These ramps have a 4,500 lb midspan rating. Midspan is the center of the ramp, where bending stress is usually highest during loading.
No. Strength depends on the ramp design and rating, not just the material. These aluminum ramps offer a strong 4,500 lb midspan rating while staying much lighter than many steel ramp options.
No. Aluminum does not form red rust like steel. It can still get scratched or weathered, but it holds up well in wet, muddy, salty, and harsh conditions.
