ATV / Lawnmower Trailer Inside the bed a truck ?!? - Eliminates having a separate trailer

What happens here

Perform loading of the ATV and the stand-on mower onto the rack. The system's design allows for flexibility, meaning you can load either the ATV or the mower first. The rack's height is specifically designed to accommodate stand-on mowers without needing to lower their decks or engines, facilitating quick and easy loading. Once loaded, secure the equipment using appropriate straps. The main tailgate of "The Ramp Rack" is equipped with a lift-assist feature, making it easier to raise and lower despite its substantial weight (estimated 150-200 lbs). You can also add a locking mechanism to the tailgate for enhanced security, such as drilling through the existing pin or installing a hasp and padlock.

Goal: Efficiently load and unload equipment and ensure it is secured on The Ramp Rack.

9,01 lb, I believe. Check your local state in Horton. Blah blah blah blah legal mumble jumble. We had a lot of a lot of issues with um with guys. You know, obviously in this industry, it's hard to find find people that um can can back a trailer sometimes. Um so [laughter] we do a lot of work around town houses, always blocking people in. So um you know, the guys don't have to worry about backing a trailer. All right, so let's let's see how this actually how well this works. I'm going to come around to the other side cuz I want to watch why it unload and and load. And um we're going to watch the truck squat. We're going to watch how the truck reacts during this process. So you can load the four-wheeler first or the mower first? Yeah, either one. And that's why we made this this height here. Um, so for right standards, you don't have to lower the deck or the engine or anything to fit under under your rack in the front. Just love the thought he put into this thing. You're just a guy to appreciate and admire somebody that's like, well, you basically built it for yourself, Wyatt, pretty much. [laughter] I love that. So, it's got a lift assist gate. This gate's actually surprisingly heavy. He looks kind of tough. His wife doesn't look as tough. Can you lift that gate up? Yeah, I can. Can you do it with one hand? Uh, the challenge is laid down. Oh, you almost grabbed it. Look at that. Okay, so that's an easy gate. So, she pretty much goes up and then you lock it, pin it in place so you don't You have a little bit of tension on here so that way it, you know, it stays shut with the help with the gorilla lift anyhow. But you have pins on either side to make sure it stays shut. So, that gate's got to probably weigh about 150 200 lb by itself. I'm going to guess it does. Yeah. So, um and another another thing since uh since the Instagram post that we had, a lot of people have have had helpful suggestions. Oh. Um one thing that you spoke, he listened. One thing that um you know, we thought about doing and people can definitely do themselves is put a um is put a locking mechanism back here. So, you could either drill through this pin and put a lock on here, put another down here. Um so, that way you're you're set up secure. our uh our setup that we run um every day for our mediumsiz residential properties uh between a/4 and 1/2 acre. Yeah. Um we run a 36-in mower in the front and then we run a uh a right standard intensity and then we run a um a right ZK 52 in in the…
