When a job requires moving a vehicle onto a truck bed or elevated platform, precision equipment selection is critical to protecting both the operator and the vehicle. To simplify the selection process, use our automobile ramp calculator below to determine the correct ramp length, capacity, and configuration based on weight, ground clearance, and loading height of the largest vehicle you will be loading. This helps ensure proper incline control and reduces the risk of under-specifying equipment. If you need assistance interpreting your results or choosing the right ramp system for your application, call us at 800‑211‑1198 and we will help you select a solution that fits your equipment and use case.

How to use the Automobile Ramp Calculator

• Wheelbase of the vehicle: Measure front axle to back axle (in inches)
• Ground clearance: Measure the lowest point of the vehicle to the ground (in inches)
• Height of the loading surface: Measure from the top edge to the ground to the top surface of the trailer or truckbed (in inches)

Once you have measurements for each of the above figures, enter them appropriately into the automobile ramp calculator to generate the minimum ramp length and find an auto loading ramp that works for your needs, and/or the needs of your business.
