Easy Load Ramp System For Small SUVs The Easy Load Ramp System (ELRS) is our basic ramp system and the system that started Easy Load. This system consists of the following: 2 Ramps, 1 Ramp Support “T” (“T”) and 1 Receiver Hitch Insert (RHI). The ramps are 5’ in length with side walls ~2” in height and they are ~3” wide. There is a 2’ Ramp Extension which nests outside the Ramp and flips over onto the floor of the vehicle to which the trike will be loaded. The Ramp has a U channel latch which fits over the horizontal bar of the “T”. The “T” fits into the RHI which is inserted into the vehicles 2” receiver hitch. The “T” is held in place with a 5/8” machine screw and the RHI is held in place in the vehicle receiver hitch with a Hitch Tite. There is a lock available which mates with the Hitch Tite. Ramp spacing on the “T” is marked with four Ramps Spacers. The ramps are removed from the “T” and stowed on the floor of the vehicle under the trike. Most people leave the RHI and “T” on the vehicle as it does not interfer with rear hatch operation. The ELRS is ideal for loading a trike into a van or a smaller SUV. Three ramps are available for loading the trike with the single wheel first or if you are nesting two trikes (one trike two wheels first and the second trike single wheel first) in a wider van. When ordering either of the Ramp Systems please provide the distance from the top of the vehicle receiver hitch to the floor of the vehicle. This will assure the correct height “T” will be included in the order. Easy Load Ramp System-XL (ELRS-XL) Note: A minimum 16" above-ground clearance is needed for safe passage. Optional risers are available for vehicles not meeting the 16" minimum height requirement. Max payload - 150 lbs.
