Harbor freight 72' x 9' Ramp (Audio Fixed)

This video is a review of the Harbor Freight 72"x9" steel ramps. I made some modifications to help improve the design. This is how I did it.

1000 lb. Capacity 9 in. x 72 in. Steel Loading Ramps, Set of Two

Great video, thanks! Need to off-load a heavy 2 stage snowblower from my pickup. These should do the trick.

Nice lifting table bro. I am a engineer for Ford and we use lifting tables like that to move units down the assembly lines. I see it has hydraulic lines so that is a brilliant little piece of equipment you've made

Just bought these today need to load my Harley on a trailer. Would have never thought to double them up like that and put an eye bolt at the bottom for rigging. Great video 👍

Very good video. My instructions manual showed the tongue extension under the ramp. Your video proved the reason. I saw several videos the had these installed correctly. You added the safety straps. Once again, other videos failed to do this and proceeded to drive their ATV up the ramp. Appreciate someone providing a safe procedure. You proved one cannot trust everything one sees on Youtube. GREAT JOB!

Nice video and explanations - thanks for taking the time.

Nice R6! I was just looking to see if this would work for my R3 to load on my truck, and glad to see we can do this modification to make it better.

the brackets are mounted UNDER the ramp which you correctly did! Mount them on top and you risk the ramps flexing and failing which will not be good. Unfortunately these ramps don't come with safety chains. I would highly recommend getting chains for these so you can chin them to your truck. If ramps kick out while you're loading you can really get hurt!

Dave. Your way is the correct way. Harbor Freights instructions on their website show your way. I guess they changed them.

when y ou bolt the ramps together in side by side, does the supporting weight become 1k?

I know EACH ramp is rated at 500lb, and in combined its 1k, but i am assuming the 1k rating is from a 4 wheels vehicle with the weight distributed exactly even between the two ramps.

Curious if you would risk something like a 850LB honda goldwing on this method.

Well done.I learned a lot.

Hello, I'm getting on a bit where my age is concerned, so I got rid of my big trailer and bought the HF one that holds 1700 pds. I have a Polaris 450 Sportsman, that weighs around 686 dry. I would like to use these ramps for that HF trailer and machine. Would you trust these ramps for that application? Thanks, and great video!

Was that a plywood built ramp seen near the rear of the platform and to the left looking toward the garage door?!?!?

[rustyshackleford]

I doubled mine with the intention of riding up and down my truck. Well it was sketchy as hell going up due to there not having any support to lean on, and while getting it down the front wheel fell half way down, thankfully its a dual sport but screw all that noise

My only concern is that for a ramp that is rated to 1000 LBS there's an awful lot of flexing with a bike that weights barely 500lbs. My HD Heritage is 750LBS.

[johnhayes]

Are the ramps 1000lbs each ramp or 1000lbs total

[JordanKobe]

Lol bro, u said virtually nothing happens, bit it did bend down too lol. But makes bit more sense to put it under for sure lol 👍🏽👍🏽

[williambrock]

So what really is the purpose of the platform other than to overhaul the bike? Do not follow why you need to elevate the bike, as it appears to be too wide of a platform to work around the bike.

Dual ramp setup time way too long, otherwise looks good

Im almost pretty sure my teenage son could have ramped that 4" rise.
