What happens here

The presenter and a Southland Trailers representative demonstrate the capability of a 12-foot hydraulic beavertail ramp on a trailer. They use a large, lifted white pickup truck to showcase the ramp's ability to lower smoothly and support the truck's weight, highlighting its ease of use and long, gentle incline. The representative states the ramp can lift 10,000 lbs and carry a loaded weight of 8,000 lbs in the middle.

Goal: Observe the operation and load capacity of the 12-foot hydraulic beavertail ramp.

Tools and materials

  • Large Pickup Truck GMC Denali — As a load for testing the ramp's capacity
  • Remote Control — Operating the hydraulic beavertail ramp
