Troubleshooting

Ramp appears unstable during use

Ensure the webbing strap is securely fastened to the vehicle and the ramp. Check that the PVC-coated forks are firmly seated on the edge of the truck bed or trailer and that the approach surface is stable.

Ramp is difficult to fold or unfold

Check for any debris or obstructions in the hinges. Gently clean and lubricate the hinges if necessary. Ensure the Velcro fastener is fully released before unfolding.

PVC-coated forks show signs of wear

Inspect the forks for excessive damage. If the coating is significantly compromised, consider contacting the manufacturer or a professional for repair or replacement options, as this can affect vehicle paint protection.

Velcro fastener is not holding securely

Clean the Velcro surfaces to remove dirt and debris. If the Velcro has worn out, it may need to be replaced. Ensure the ramp is fully folded before engaging the fastener.
