Best Atv Lift Ramps (2026): 5 Picks Compared

Choosing the best atv lift ramps

Specifications are as stated on each listing and collected 4 November 2026. Where a listing contradicts itself, both figures are shown in the product review.

How the ramps were scored

Each ramp is scored on performance, build, value, safety and warranty. None states a safety certification, so none receives safety points, and none states a clear warranty term, so none receives warranty points. The folding ramps lead because the listings give clear lengths, pair capacities and traction surfaces.

Scores run from 9.2 to 9.8: each product’s point total is placed on that range, so more points always means a higher score. Safety counts only for powered gear or where the listing states safety features; where it does not apply, the score is taken over the remaining 90 points.

What the listings tell you

The listings in this roundup cover folding ramps, a plank kit and short steel ramps. Pair capacities reach 1,500 lb on the folding ramps, while the short steel ramps reach 1,200 lb combined and the plank kit is listed at 700 lb for each ramp. Lengths run from 35.5 in on the short steel ramps to 89 in on the longest folding ramp, with the plank kit length set by the plank chosen. Traction comes from a perforated surface, a punch plate surface or a skid resistant tread, depending on the listing.

Buying guide: loading an ATV without drama

Capacity and length

Start with the weight of the machine, then match that weight to the figure the listing states for the setup in use. The folding ramps state 1,500 lb per pair. The short steel ramps state 1,200 lb combined. The plank kit states 700 lb for each ramp. A longer ramp gives a gentler slope to the same tailgate or trailer edge. The folding ramps measure 72.5 in and 89 in when extended. The short steel ramps measure 35.5 in, which suits a shed threshold better than a tall trailer bed.

Traction and fastening

The Arejonner ramp uses a dense perforated surface with a sandblasted finish for friction. The MAXIVAMN ramp uses a punch plate surface with multiple tire contact points. The Stalwart ramps use a skid resistant tread with angled foot plates. Fastening matters too, since a ramp that kicks out at the top ends the load. The Arejonner listing includes 4 safety straps. The MAXIVAMN listing includes 2 safety straps. The plank kit includes 4 safety pins with its steel ramp ends.

Folding and storage

A ramp that lives in the garage still needs a home between jobs, and folding changes how much space it takes. The Arejonner ramp folds to 38.1 in and carries built-in handles. The MAXIVAMN ramp folds to approximately 44.5 in and carries built-in handles. The short steel ramps stay at 35.5 in and carry integrated handles.

Shed thresholds and trailers

Shed work and trailer work ask for different ramps, even when the machine is the same. A shed threshold is low, so a short steel ramp gives a direct path over the lip. A trailer bed sits higher, so a longer folding ramp gives a gentler climb and more room to keep the tires centered. The Arejonner listing gives a maximum incline height of 31.5 in. The MAXIVAMN listing advises loading on firm, level ground and loading slowly.

Garage Fit Check

• Measure the height from the ground to the trailer edge or shed threshold, then check it against the ramp length and the Arejonner maximum incline height of 31.5 in.
• Check the folded length before buying: 38.1 in for the Arejonner ramp, approximately 44.5 in for the MAXIVAMN ramp and 35.5 in for the short steel ramps.
• Confirm the machine weight against the stated capacity for the setup in use: 1,500 lb per pair for the folding ramps, 1,200 lb combined for the short steel ramps and 700 lb for each ramp in the plank kit.
• Check the tailgate or trailer edge where the ramp fingers or pads will rest, and fasten every strap or pin listed for the ramp in use.
• Keep a firm, level patch of ground for loading, and keep planks on hand for the plank kit, since planks are not listed in its kit contents.

FAQ: garage tools

What capacity should a ramp have for an ATV?

Match the machine weight to the capacity figure the listing states for the setup in use. The folding ramps state 1,500 lb per pair. The short steel ramps state 1,200 lb combined. The plank kit states 700 lb for each ramp.

How long should a loading ramp be?

A longer ramp gives a gentler slope to the same height. The Arejonner ramp measures 72.5 in when unfolded. The MAXIVAMN ramp measures 89 in when extended. The Stalwart ramps measure 35.5 in, which suits a low shed threshold.

Do folding ramps store easily?

Folding ramps pack down to a shorter length for storage. The Arejonner ramp folds to 38.1 in. The MAXIVAMN ramp folds to approximately 44.5 in.

What does the plank kit include?

The MAXXHAUL kit includes 2 steel ramp ends, 4 bolts, 4 nuts, 4 safety pins and 2 protective pads. Planks are not listed in the kit contents, so planks in the 2 in by 8 in size come separately.

What should be checked before loading?

Check the ground, the attachment at the top of the ramp and the straps or pins for the ramp in use. Load on firm, level ground and load slowly, with each tire centered on its ramp.
