mnstang Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 My trailer ramp needs new plastic. Anyone know of a cheaper alternative where you can maybe buy a bigger sheet and cut it to fit? The plastic is like in this link https://www.amazon.com/Triton-05301-Black-Plastic-Runner/dp/B00BZ75EL2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Menards used to sell 4'x8' sheets of black HDPE for reasonable prices. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/panel-products/plastic-utility-panels/1-8-x-4-x-8-hdpe-panel/blkhdpe48x96x118/p-1561703293092-c-14048.htm?exp=false Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICG Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 ??? It's just a plastic runner over plywood.... 🤔. Are you over thinking a minor detail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
favoritos Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Those smooth sheets are dang slippery with about two flakes of snow. I've had a couple trailers that came with a strip in the middle of the ramp doors. Seems like someone always forgot and landed on their tuchus. Best thing for that is letting one of the kids try out a brand new set of studs on the ramp. A couple of nice spin sessions roughs up that stuff in no time.

mnstang Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 It is not a wood ramp it is all aluminum with little channels for the plastic to slide into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerr2Star Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 These are what i installed on my trailer and ramps when i rebuilt it this year. https://www.ebay.com/itm/312629167587?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=gxv4QaW7RUi&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=ffqn9frMQqu&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY I plan to buy more to install on my aluminum atv ramps for when i just take one sled in the truckbed.

Jerr2Star Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Also i used these Caliber pieces for my truck ramp, they are meant to go on 1" tubing. Caliber Grip Glides 13352, Powersport Ramp Set,16-pc https://a.co/d/3LNjdRu Really slick setup and the sled doesn't get hung up. I added pieces of track in the middle for traction.

mnstang Posted March 2 Author Share Posted March 2 I ended up getting a Menards sheet of hdpe and that worked good it was the same stuff that came off and I have some leftover for future projects. I wanted to keep it how it was with the sheet strips because it works for wheeled vehicles and whatever else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
