Snowmobile Ramps
Snowmobile ramps are most efficient way to load and unload a sled all winter long. Discount Ramps offers superior snowmobile ramps for your pickup truck or sport trailer. We have ramps in a wide range of lengths, widths and weight ratings to fit almost any size snowmobile so you can hit the trails.
At Discount Ramps, we're committed to making purchasing and using a snowmobile ramp as easy and safe as possible. You shouldn't have to struggle hauling your snowmobile to and from a trail or SnoCross course. The center runners on our specially-designed loading ramps provide the best grip for snowmobile tracks, even on exceptionally icy and snowy days. The outer edges are covered with low-resistance polyethylene ski guides to prevent scuffing and gouging.
Casual riders and professional sledders alike will have less stress when they use one of these snowmobile ramps for trailers. Every ramp we sell is made from weatherproof aluminum that doesn't rust and is lightweight for transport. We have non-folding, folding and tri-fold ramps to suit your sled size and storage space. If you have a really long sled, add a snowmobile ramp extension to lessen the incline and drag.
You'll find the best selection and lowest prices on snowmobile ramps for sale when you shop at Discount Ramps. Some ramps can also be used for ATVs, motorcycles and other powersport vehicles, making them an essential tool to have at any time of year. These snowmobile loading solutions have been field-tested and are guaranteed to make the process faster.
How to Choose the Right Sled Truck Ramp
- Determine whether or not you need a ramp with stud protectors (for snowmobiles with studded tracks). The stud protectors prevent damage to the center rungs during loading.
- Determine whether or not you need a ramp extender to reduce the angle of the ramp and help the track catch earlier.
- Make sure the ramp is the right length for your truck height. Most snowmobile ramps for trucks are around 7' 6" long (90") and the average tailgate height is 33"-35". That puts your approach angle around 22 degrees, within the typical loading range of 16 to 24 degrees. If you have a lifted truck there's a chance you will need to explore longer ramp options to ensure that you're loading your sled safely.
- Double check that your snowmobile doesn't exceed the weight capacity of the ramp. Most snowmobile ramps have a weighty capacity of 1,500 lbs., which is generally more than enough to accommodate most snowmobile models and their riders.

Best Way to Load a Snowmobile to Your Truck
- Secure the ramp to the truck. After you’ve placed the top of the ramp on your tailgate and the plate or finger connectors are firmly in position, use a ratchet strap or chain to secure the ramp directly to your truck. Make sure your anchor point is metal, not plastic, as those could snap and break. Most trucks have holes incorporated into their frame, or you can secure the straps to your hitch. Always set the connection point directly behind the ramp to prevent any unwanted side-to-side movement during use.
- Align your snowmobile with the ramp. Because most snowmobile ramps have separate sections for the track and skis, it’s crucial to line them up properly. Riding up on any angle is a recipe for disaster! You risk the snowmobile slipping and falling, which could result in a heavy, expensive and painful situation. If you're using a lie-flat ramp extender, use it as a visual point to line up your track with the ramp.
- Ride your snowmobile up and into your pickup bed. Ride up with control, and don't stop on the ramp. Always drive your snowmobile in front-first; this will prevent wind damage to the snowmobile windshield during transit.
- Secure your sled to the truck bed. Your sled is most likely longer than your pickup bed, making it all the more important to tie it down appropriately as the tailgate will be down in transit. There's two ways you can tie down a snowmobile: two straps in the rear and a front clamp, or two straps in the rear and two straps in the front. Always use ratchet straps, never bungee cords or rope, as their tensile strength is no match for the rated webbing and securing mechanism of a ratchet strap.
