Anybody have close up pics of car ramps on the neck of their G/N trailer?
My trailer looks like this.

I also have a 3ft. dovetail and would like to see ideas for extension ramps off the back.
This isn't a weight problem but a length problem.

Most people wont admit to having a length problem.

You are right. Besides that, if he had any kind of rock crawler he wouldn't need any ramps.

Have you ever thought that you can haul more than a 4x4 on a trailer?
While I'm sure everybody would love to have a 40+ ft trailer, being able to extend ramps a few feet or place one of the vehicles on the neck is mighty handy when you only haul multiple vehicles occasionally.
Dumbass.

i plan on building an upper platform so i can more easily squeez 3 rigs on my 36 foot GN after i build the platform ill use roundstock and angle iron to make the ramp mounts,just like i did at the end of the trailer.

The neck of my trailer is very similar to this one.

I was looking for different designs folks may have been using to put ramps onto the neck. Ideally, the ramps would be able to be removed if I needed the entire flat deck.
I am also curious about tie downs.
For the dovetail ramps, my dovetail is very similar to this one.

I am going to add another ramp in the middle and then plate across the bottom of the ramp so I can park on that if I need a flat deck. I figure I can always find a loading dock somewhere to load and unload as I only carry two vehicles when I am working around the city which has plenty of loading docks.
But I also want to modify the ramps a little bit so I can remove them all together and then add some extension ramps if I needed an extra foot or two.
I have thought about lengthening the trailer 10 ft to solve all my problems and add a 3rd axle to bump my weight up to 21k but want to explore these options first before I take the even more complicated route as a 30+3 G/N is harder to drive, maneuver, and store than a 20+3.
