I just installed mine and did a trial run before we head home next week. Easy install and worked perfectly. BTW, the discount code didn't work and shipping was extra from mad ramps direct. E-trailer was a better deal for me that included free shipping. Also, I decided to strap the rear wheels. E-trailer was helpful getting me the correct size wheel straps. I also purchased the storage rack. It's also very well designed. Unless you have their storage solution, the ramps are awkward to store. Great solution!! Thanks
We just purchased our 1st golf cart. I have a 5.5 foot bed. Cart doesn't fit, so we rent a trailer. I Was looking into making something out of wood, but this is perfect. Will definitely be ordering 1. Thank you
Thank you, I've done my research and this is definitely my solution also. I can load my cart that is lifted and has nerf bars and the wheel wells don't Interfere as the cart isn't to forward in the truck bed. Also if give me room to store other items in the truck bed as I always carry 5-10 gals diesel with me just in case!
I was looking to do that same thing with our rig.. RV 40' + 16" tire + Tow bar + Truck + Ramps 40' + 16" + 4' + 24' + 4' = 72' 4" total That would put me 8' feet 4 inchs over. I was told by a DOT officer years ago they can measure from your mirrors to your ramps and that is your total over overall length..
How about a follow up? Is this still the system you’re using? How much consistent use have these ramps seen? And have you had any failures- so many reviewers hate on these ramps out of fear of failures! Thanks!
Yes I’m still using them. I still love them. I load and transport my cart 1 thousand pound cart about every 2-3 weeks. When I’m not using them. They sit in the bed of my truck. As I don’t have a garage to keep them in. One thing they won’t do is fail. I used a torque wrench when I installed them. The reason why I started using them is one of my previous ramps failed while I was using them. If mine did by chance fail, I’d be on the web buying new ones right away. They are getting a minor amount of surface rust. But very minor and mostly because they are out in the weather 24x7. I hope that helps.
Hi, It's March of 2022. I still use them and still swear by them. They're still very heavy, but they make it possible for me to take my cart with me while I full-time RV.
DOT Rules on overhang loads. (a) Whenever the load upon any vehicle extends, or whenever any integral part of any vehicle projects, to the rear (4) four feet or more beyond the rear of the vehicle, as measured from the "taillamps", there shall be displayed at the extreme end of the load or "projecting part of the vehicle during darkness", in addition to the required taillamp, "two red lights" with a bulb rated not in excess of six candlepower plainly visible from a distance of at least 500 feet to the sides and rear. At any other time there shall be displayed at the extreme end of the load or projecting part of the vehicle a solid red or fluorescent orange flag or cloth not less than 18 inches square. (b) There shall be a single flag or cloth at the extreme rear if the projecting load is "two feet wide or less". Two warning flags or cloths are required if the projecting load is wider than two feet. Flags or cloths shall be located to indicate maximum width of loads that extend beyond the sides or rear of the vehicle. In short. 4 feet from taillamps you need 2 lights at night or 2 flags for only day time. Its not measured from the bumper or bumper lamps but from the "taillamps" Your over all of your rig and truck should also be less then 65 feet or less.. (your ramps could change things for you) Hope this helps.
Hi Lankster, the ramps are Fully DOT approved and there is no need for a flag. They are lit with LED lights for brake, turn, and rear marker. We spent over a year working with DOT to make sure in every category we exceed their standards.
@@RandomBitsRV Those ramps are the right tool for the right job. I want to invite you to our live Streams Thursdays 8pm Central & Sundays 2pm Central ~ Fun/ Friends and I will shout you out
@RandomBitsRV ok that's what I have too. I am considering getting these to haul my golf cart Is there a place to strap down to or don't you need to with these?

This looks like a great solution for you Mike. Great video.
Thanks Dr. Wags!

🤔 was wondering about that too.
It's DOT approved. All 50 states.

Do you need an excessive overhang red flag on those Rube Golberg ramps?
Not according to the manufacture. They’re DOT approved in all 50 states.
Saw you on Paddy Wagon Travels. I have had to load my cart. This is the best Idea. Love it. We have some videos you would like check us out
I love my mad ramps. Paddy is an awesome guy and can’t wait to camp with him again. I will sub. thank you for watching.

Will this also work for non lifted carts?
I believe it will, But that’s a question for Mad Ramps. Be advised they were purchased by Blue Ox.
@@RandomBitsRV I did a little more research and it looks like they sell a golf cart riser kit for lower carts.
Thanks for the notice
How long is your truck bed?
I believe 5.5
@RandomBitsRV ok that's what I have too. I am considering getting these to haul my golf cart Is there a place to strap down to or don't you need to with these?
I have tie-downs in the bed of my truck. I use 2 ratchet straps and tie down to the back of the cart. Very easy.
Also I can put a toolbox in the bed along with the cart.
@@RandomBitsRV thanks
Slick setup!
Very Slick! I'll never have a Ramp break on me again.
@@RandomBitsRV Win Win!!!
Or just get a truck with a 6/6.5 foot bed or bigger
Have you priced new trucks lately?
1:17 how man times have you shit yourself ?
None with this solution. I’m very confident with it. Prior to Madramps, I had a ramp break while loading.
RandomBitsRV id be scared of that at first
For $1600 not sure they are worth it
Understand. After an old ramp breaking on me, it’s worth every penny. You mileage may vary
