"The Ramp Rack is an all-in-one ramp and rack for your pickup truck. It’s the only one of its kind in the market. This engineer approved and field tested solution adds 2.5 feet of flat usable truck bed to haul whatever you need. It's built tough with strong welds and industrial grade enamel paint.
The Ramp Rack also has a built-in dovetail for ease in loading and unloading even the heaviest equipment, and the gate is fully spring-assisted to allow for one-person operation." (From: theramprack.com )

Here’s why I just bought one
No more trailer flat tires.
No trailer inspection
Better fuel economy
Less distance to walk back and unload
No trailer maintenance
No trailer insurance
The big advantage is you can park anywhere
And anybody can drive it which isn’t true with a trailer
Compact for parking in a driveway after work.
Well said!
And the big one.... no need to stop for DOT inspections if you keep your truck at 10,000 pounds or under GVWR. Especially in the month of May they target landscapers around here there are times when the commercial inspection enforcement is borderline harassment this goes for all vehicles not some not just semi’s they target landscapers dump trucks you name it.I’m in New York State and you can’t go very far without seeing some form of commercial enforcement inspection checkpoints and it’s nonstop until the coronavirus before that it was out of control.
I just use a cargo van. I have a ford Transit 150 and love it. Can carry all my equipment
@@JohnDiMartino Im in Ontario and we have the MTO which is our version of commercial patrols.... yes most of them are pricks
Everything is still exposed to theft, rain and paint fade. I’ll keep my enclosed trailer for the same price and still be able to use my truck bed for hauling anything I need. Not too mention you get into an accident your equipment is heavily subjected to easily getting damaged hanging off the sides of your truck.
American ingenuity at its finest.
Recorded at the Kentucky Fair and Exposition Center. My home town! The barns in the background along with the airport noise gave it away.
Haha, that's right! This was the GIE Expo that is usually in October!
@@jcslawntipsI’m from Louisville. I never thought I would miss White Castle so much🤣
Awesome job! I think it’s wonderful idea. Some places trailers can’t go.... Mc Donald’s 2 lane drive thru won’t stop me now! I love it!😊👍
There drive thru still hasn't stopped me with a 20ft trailer
awesome. i like the folding ramp. i think it comes with the sport version, but its shorter. also, those push lawn mowers must be really lite to be put up on that rack. really cool, and smart idea. two size stand behind mowers fit well.
Looks like they made a bunch of improvements on this truck ramp.
Commenting from Canada on this intriguing invention . Price for us would be 40 % higher . I still would consider purchasing it . I learned not always get upset about the cost of an item but to look at what it can safe me or how much money I could make with it .
Gas savings ,break down savings of trailer , purchasing price of trailer . If all of that is subtracted how much is left to pay? That is the actual price that I look at .
Just my 25 cents worth from the other side of the border
That's a smart way of looking at things! If it works for you, that's what matters. Thank you for watching!
Wyatt is an awesome guy. He has done a great job and it's worth more then he is asking. The time it takes to r and d that and scale it, boy he is on his way!! Awesome video Jared
I couldn't agree more. I certainly think he could get more too. The nice thing is it keeps it affordable for smaller guys like myself. Thank you for watching Brother!
@@jcslawntips 👍👍👍👍
awesome set up. they should put flat bed and the set up. that will be amazing
Not a bad concept at all. I like the redesign, not sure how that would work for me since I use my truck bed for mulch and pine needles, brush, etc. But I like the idea. There are some smaller properties that I would like to do that don't have a turn around. This would be perfect for that.
GREAT IDEA ! MUCH BETTER THAN PULLING A TRAILER !
Wow! I guess I have to budget a few extra grand when I get a new truck. This will be the first thing I do to the truck!
Awesome!😎
I ordered one yesterday... I will follow up later
Well?
Matt Its been 3 months and the RampRack is outstanding.... The only gripe that I have is that I had to beef up my leaf springs as a result of my lawn equipment and the additional weight of the RampRack. Funny thing is I never heard anyone mention that and it is a bit costly to do. But I have nothing but great things to say about the Ramp Rack.
@@tiltedbrim2630 Thats good to hear. I think I'll look into buying one for my truck.
Check out the Tri-clone HEAVY DUTY trimmer heads for your next lawn care jobs
Perfect for solo mow guys! This is how I would roll if I were to go solo
Agreed, thank you for watching!
@Hank Bridges 0:30 yes there is and your view would be obstructed if you had a trailer. That's what you side mirrors are for
Hey guys you set up looks Great you need to run a safety spraying cable so another words you need to put some kind of cable through that spring you have to assist the rear door coming up in case that spring ever breaks it’s not gonna go flying all over the place and kill somebody
Im not sure if that's the final production setup. But thats not a bad idea. Thank you for watching!
That is nice. I need one. Probably will build one myself. Don't need that big of a size. Just to load a srg13 stump grinder.
I have been looking at doing a solo operation. Looks better than doing a trailer.
My only issue with it is I have one of my zero turns is 60 inches and both of them wouldn’t fit on there lengthwise either as well as it’s not enclosed but nonetheless an awesome product. God bless you.
Salty 76 Lax I know what you mean. But for the majority of residential business you don’t need a 60in. Unless you have some large high end customers. Most yard are less than 1/3 acre. And even the +1 acre lots don’t have the clear space to take advantage of the cut of a 60in path. That’s at least in my area.
Turbo Mustang yeah I understand what you’re saying in one of my main subdivisions most have about a quarter acre lot for most of them but most of them are just open so you can just do them in like 10 or 15 minutes.
I love this over a trailer
Looks pretty damn awesome,just seems expensive considering you can get an enclosed trailer for about 3k but I totally dig the concept and would consider it
My exact thoughts.
From a manufacturing point of view, there is a lot that goes into making a unit like this. I don't think the price is too bad for what you get. But I do think that a trailer might be a better option in some situations. It really depends on what kind of work you're doing and the volume of work that you have. Thank you for watching!
@@jcslawntips yea way too expensive. Can get 2 high side 6x12s here for that...
@@MatthewSmith-uf6tr It all depends on your application, it may not be the right fit for you. There are pros and cons for both.
@@jcslawntips If you get that down to $1500 ill take one
I made one years ago but made mine so that one person could pull it off in about 10 minutes.. and putting it back on 10 minutes again. The only problem I ran into it was to long the laws in every state are different and say that is can only be so long from the frame of your truck. So welcome to hell for the tickets and having to pay for an inspection as well. But I have changed mine a bit but it works very well for me .
I believe this DOT approved
That is very impressive! Thanks for sharing, Jared!
The updated version seems much better.
Lmao ! Every 2 minutes a jet flys over !
Hey I think their a great idea but any pickup truck bed in my opinion can handle a limited amount of weight because the bed cross members thickness is thin and to support a large amount of weight would be debilitating unless thicker support rails are added. I think it’s a weak point on truck beds. Just my opinion
I’m getting one here soon!
Awesome!
I would buy just for my four wheeler
Cool to see what you are up to Jared! Its been a minute since we have gotten together, we should catch up sometime!
Thank you Ben, for sure!
Great info, thanks!
Absolutely, thank you for watching Johny!
Crazy that the price of this has almost doubled
doesn't it stick out in another lane when you turn?
I think it's a great idea for the right business. I use my truck for everything,moving people,hauling my four wheeler, plowing snow .
Very cool idea,would not work for me. Seems a little pricey also.
Great product though,well built for sure
You have no plans to make an insert version for a commercial truck like a Mitsubishi crew cab ? Only pick ups?
Seems like a great product but I need just about 16 foot of trailer and it’s enclosed but depending on the right person great product and One of my zero turns is 60 inches so that also wouldn’t work but great product. God bless praise Jesus He is so good and so great His grace has no limits praying for everyone.
Cool concept besides the fact that you can’t put a bunch of leaves or extra Grass grass clippings etc. in the bed of the truck because there’s no room unlike with a trailer where all your other stuff is in the trailer
It needs to be easily removed atleast yhe back portion like with heavy duty lock pins so 2 guys can lift it off to use the truck for boating on weekends.
It can come off very quickly
Pricey…great idea!
Yes,,,but when you wanna take mama out on Friday night .... You can just dolly off a trailer and go.
Exactly
Or she can ride in back depending on how big she is
I want to get this for my company in canada
Will a 61 inch stand on mower or a 61 inch zero turn mower fit on that.
They would make a killing if they can fit side x side atvs
The concept is good. For the weed eaters is better a side box that contains all of them same as the blowers. Mower rack, need a ramp. For clips bags, do a roof rack. The idea is good for send employees without trailer experience.
World War 3 going on behind you haha
😂 it was loud sorry
Very interesting set up....
Im.freaked at that spring lol
It’s a great concept and pretty smart invention, hopefully it will evolve in the near future, maybe figure out a way to get that above the fenders wells
Put one of those sliding bed boxes that can hold, tools, oils, weed killer, fertilizer, ect. put the mowers on top of that they’ll be over the wheel wells.
Seems they could use the same material for the walls & ceiling as the enclosed trailers and have side windows for traffic view & flip open for trimmer access. Enclosed truck ramp and transport....next years model?
Nice idea, but you would need a truck payload capacity at a minimum rating of about 4k pounds or more to haul that right over the rear axle day in and day out.
Were to put the grass at
In the back seat
Do you need to beaf up suspension once you start putting bigger mowers on.
It depends on the truck, this is a stock F-250 and he puts a 36" and 52" mower on it 👍
How do you secure the equipment?? I didn’t see any tie downs
You could just use the tie downs in the bed of the truck 👍
Can these be used in 1500 trucks? I run 36 inch walk behinds and one 22 inch push. Does anyone have it on a 1500?
I haven't seen that yet. I believe you can, it will just limit your cargo capacity
Good stuff my man!
With add ons 3k,yeah I'll take a trailer instead for less.forgot no lifting push mowers up on racks either.bet you will not see a big demand for these but good luck.
Can I pull a stump grinder on tracks up this
depending on the weight of the unit, yes
It costs as much as a trailer but you have less space than a trailer. you can carry a 72 inch on a trailer so keep Trying guys
Leo Juarez I haven’t seen a pick up truck bed that’s 72 inches wide 😂. It’s pretty obvious you wouldn’t use it for that. It’s not necessarily for everyone.
Truck is useless other than mowing...
@@MC-rr3ew It certainly has it's application . I would probably want it on a dedicated work truck but as far as rendering the truck useless for anything else , I'd say that is way short sighted. You can remove it in under and hour I'd bet and put it back on when you need it . Set up a hoist line in your garage and probably 10 minutes on and off. The convenience factor for tight parking neighbor hoods is big time IMHO.
@@MC-rr3ew If all you do is mowing, then yes

How many mowers do you recommend for a half ton truck? What size?
So it's the same price as a 7x14 tandem axle landscape trailer? Even tho it's a fraction of the metal used on a trailer and no axles?
Yes, with a trailer you have maintenance, registration, and storage. With this setup it takes up less space at properties and allows you to fit in tight areas. It might not be for everyone, but it can do more than you think
What’s appropriate fee to get it installed at one of your dealers?
My only concern is where do you put the grass? You’d have to stop at the dump after every yard and right now all the dumps are closed
I guess it depends on how much bagging you do. I don't bag any yards so it wouldn't be an issue for me. However I'm sure you could make room for it in the bed or on the cage. It's all on how much grass you haul away. Thank you for watching
Put the bags on the trailer 🤣🤣😂
i’m wondering if your company shipped to canada 🇨🇦?
I'm considering purchasing one of these setups but the only thing I'm hung up on is the ramp gate spring. Definately a safety hazard as I've had one snap on me and almost hit me. It would be nice if they offered another ramp gate option.
It looks like you can easily remove it
Wow. My question is. do they ship to Hawaii? And I think if they make the ramp folding like half way that would be awesome.
Octavio Sanchez I don’t know for sure, but I’m sure if you talk to them they could make it happen. That would be cool too!
Can that ramp rack fit a Ford ranger splash
How did you make your extender bar for the trimmer rack
Awesome 👍
If I wanted this for my 1500 only one mower 36 scag stand on. Would it hold it?? Is it any different from hauling a trailer?? With two mowers 🤷♂️
Wonder if this is legal in Portugal?
Great idea. If you could just lower price point
nice idea. for 3k you can buy a nice enclosed trailer. or half that for an open trailer, and hold alot more equiptment.
Where? I can't find an enclosed trailer for less than 7k. The cheapest on CL right now near me is a 6x10 for 4,750. Not to mention that enclosed trailers destroy fuel milage and with these fuel prices saving 3-7 miles/gal is massive savings over a year. Of course the ramp rack will lower fuel mileage but I doubt even a third as much as an enclosed.
Have any tried getting a up the ramp without the bottom of the plow?
Every lawnmower company: I WANT YOUR ENTIRE STOCK
The price needs to be more reasonable
It's really not too bad for what you're getting. It just depends on what you want to do with it
Now it's 4000😮
What about tie down points in the rear of it for the mowers?
I'm sure you could stop it right to the rack
Only problem is this becomes your truck's only use. Can you even take it out somewhere w tools on it
There is a new quick disconnect feature that allows you to remove the back ramp quickly
What a great idea
Great Video!
Freeport Lawn Care Thank you !
Where are you guys located?
How much would it be to install the ramp rack? We would definitely need for our 2nd truck.
That I do not know off hand. However it is fairly simple and something you could do yourself. Otherwise click the link in the description and contact them for pricing. Hope this helps
I think that’s awesome.
How much did this conversion run ya???
watch the video 😁 4:52
@@jcslawntips I started to but stopped before you said how much it was...I was just askin...ok.
love the concept but the price is outta control ! You can buy a high end 16' trailer for 3k ! In my opinon the price point should be 1500-1800$ Just my opinion....
3000k could buy a nice enclosed lettered up for that price
I would really like this, but God thats pricey for the metal.
Think of what it can do though, it eliminates a trailer, takes up less space, easier to maintain, and no registration
Like I said, I love it. Just can't afford it.
I know a local guy that does these for $700 but not painted
In all fairness I realize they have to make a profit. And I know a lot goes into painting. At least paint that's going to hold up for years. And I really hope for the price that that paint is going to be Automotive quality. If it's just trailer paint it's going to be rusty after just a few. But that being said I feel like the price should be closer to a couple thousand. Including ship. And even that for me would be the top of the budget. I'm fortunate that I know how to weld. I've done a lot of off-road vehicles. I feel like I could make it myself and paint it or powder-coated and weld it to where it could be bolted together. And for probably more like 1,500. But I that a lot of guys around me who are into Lawn Care, get a lot of these neon colored accessories nowadays. And they're always getting new Skaggs or new John Deere's. I think a lot of this is guys doing this on the side and basically just trying to pay for their equipment with their mowing. I do it for a living. I run Toro Husqvarna and Stihl. And I really want an enclosed trailer but I'm currently using a Steel trailer because it also is good for Arbury work in landscaping which is something I've got along background in. The trailer I'm using is one that I gave about $1,000 for through Tractor Supply. I've been using this trailer for about eight years. To be honest it would really be cool to not need a trailer but like I said, I'm not doing this to be cool I'm doing this to put food on the table. I'm about 3 or 4 days a week mowing and do landscaping /arbory the other three days a week. I usually work 6 day weeks minimum with one day off this time of year. Then I travel in the winter time. When I'm not working, famy time is critical. I wouldn't sude hustle if I could. Anyway, sorry for the rant. This thing is cool! Best of luck erbody
There’s a guy has a UA-cam channel and he does something very similar dove tail and ramp that connects to trailer hitch he sells his base model for $700 it doesn’t look as pretty but it appears to get the job done his name is Dave otero I think that’s the right spelling
I know exactly who you are talking about. Dale makes some awesome stuff! That too is another option when looking for a truck set up. Thank you for watching!
Can you send me the link ?please. Thank you
dogo argentino ( mow and go systems . Com . Like them dogs 👍
These new pickup beds suck, they are made cheaper than the old pickup beds, too each their own I still like my trailer
Can this be installed from anywhere?? I love this!!
Yes
That would be easy to make and a hell of alot cheaper
Grass clippings?
If you bag yards this might not be the setup for you unless you run a small mower
I've been a landscaping contractor in eastern Washington for 26 years, never mowed 1 yard, did all residential landscaping, no commercial because of the wait for payment, I was just curious about the clippings and whatever you haul away.
Good idea but we run allot of 60" cut mowers so wouldn't work for us dont like the weed eaters hanging over side of truck I could see a new truck with allot of scratches. Dont get me wrong it is a cool idea especially in areas that are tight.
well looks like im spending 3 grand
Haha, sweet 😎!
I can see this working for the 52" and under crowd, but truck payload will be questionable. A diesel 2500 from any of the big 3 are low 2xxx lbs payloads. If you run two mowers plus the weight of the rack itself you'd be overweight. A 1 ton or a gas 2500hd would be most ideal for something like this at a minimum.
Cant back in a 60? Then have the push units up front?
Not likely, but it depends on the size of the machine and what your truck is rated for
Anybody could build this for about $400 to $500
You're not gonna get this level of quality for $400-$500 though
Where are you located?
Can u pull a trailer with it on ?
No, not with this setup particularly.
Jesus Christ man y'all could not find ANY WHERE, I MEAN ANY WHERE??? else to record without ALL THE EXTRA NOISE??
makes ya look VERY VERY CHEAP!!
but all in all the rack is AWESOME!! I WANT 2 OF THEM AND YOU CAN PAINT RED?? I THINK I HEARD. CAN I GET A DEAL IF I BOUGHT 2?
Troy Kinnison It was at a trade show with 25,000 people outside and near an airport. But glad you like it. You can contact them at the link in the description
😂😂😂the only thing that was missing was gun fire & explosions
Great idea...but 3000 doesn't justify making a truck a trailer when you can just buy a trailer and some for that price🤷🏿♂️!
I think it depends on what route you want to go with your company. It might not be for everyone. The benefit is not having to tow a trailer. One huge plus is parking. Working in the city parking can be hard with a truck and trailer. This would be another great option. Thank you for watching!
If you don’t have a place to park a trailer or you mow in neighborhoods with limited parking.
Nice but way too much on cost. 16ft dove tail trailer 1800 new.
It just depends on your application
A 60 in deck is not going in a pickup
Is it 61 inches wide
The more important question, is your truck bed 61 inches wide?
@@jcslawntips Haha, good point. We just picked up a 61 so have not really played with it much.
@@justinwalthall2998 Congrats on the new mower!
For that price you buy a nice inclosed trailer
