Dovetails, Gates, & Ramps

• Side Mount Dump Ramps

  We offer optional ramps on a our 60" Utility Dump (D5) trailer. These ramps are great for loading ATVs, mowers, and other small vehicles into your dump bed.

• 4 ft Monster Ramps

  Everybody loves our 5 ft Monster Ramps so we created 4 ft Monster Ramps for our deckover trailer line. Monster Ramps give you an ultra-wide platform to load equipment and store flat to the deck when not in use. The ramps are spring assisted when lifting from the deck and from the ground, making them easy to handle. Monster Ramps are much safer than your typical 16-18" wide gooseneck ramp and give the driver/operator increased confidence when loading in wet weather.

  • Available on 8" I-Beam Deckover (F8)
  • 41" Wide x 48" Tall
  • Double Hinge Ramps Fold Flat for Full Width Deck
  • Includes Two Handles Per Ramp For Easy Lifting

• Rear Slide-in Ramps

  Rear slide in ramps are one of the most convenient ramp options for our car and buggy hauler trailers. No longer will you have to remove a ramp from the side of the trailer and carry it to the rear bumper. You simply open the rear ramp doors, slide your ramp out, and place it on the ramp support bar.

  • Ramps are made from channel construction
  • Available with a straight, 2 foot, or 4 foot dovetail
  • Available on: B5, B6, B8, C5, CC, & C8

  Note: Rear Slide-in Ramps on CC w/ a 2 ft dovetail pictured below

• Expanded Metal Traction Plates

  We offer expanded metal traction plates on our hydraulic dovetail models. The plates cover the outside deck of the hydraulic dovetail increasing your traction.

  Available on FY, LY, & SY models, option code: R.

  • 

• 1 x 1 Angle Traction Bars

  These 1' x 1' angle traction bars are welded to the rear of the trailer tail.

  The bars significantly increase traction in wet and icy conditions.

  Available on FY, LY, SY, T6, T7, T8, T9, TD, & TF models.

• Straight Deck w/ 8' Slide-in Ramps

  Our straight deck with slide-in ramps includes two 8 ft ramps that slide in ramp holders from the rear of the bumper.

  The load angle with these ramps 20' & 23' for the LD & FD respectively. This is the standard tail option for the FS, FD, & LD models.

• 5' Dovetail with Three Ramps

  The 5' dovetail with three flipover ramps has been a popular choice for farmers. Three ramps make stacking round bales of hay possible and also allows you to easily load tricycle tractors. The photos below shows the ramps with the ramp support arm option (option code: z).

• Power Tail (patent pending)

  The Power Tail (patent pending) is a hydraulic powered trailer tail that replaces typical trailer ramps with a 100% powered ramp system. This allows you to make the trailer ready to load and unload at the touch of a button. The tail rotates a full 180 degrees to serve both as a tail for loading and deck for storing cargo.

  The PJ Power Tail is easier, safer, faster, and more reasonably priced than anything else on the market.

  Never Lift Another Ramp

  Gone are the days of physically flipping multiple ramps then carefully adjusting their position to load your equipment. With the touch of a button you will be able to quickly raise and lower the entire tail, saving your back and your time

  Tail Lays Flat to Extend the Deck

  In the closed position the tail is completely flat, allowing equipment & cargo to be loaded on top of the diamond plate on the Power Tail. This also reduces wind drag significantly compared to stand-up ramps.

  Confidence Inspiring & Safe

  The super wide Power Tail gives you the confidence to load and unload equipment without the fear of missing a ramp. The angle cross-members are used on both the dovetail and Power Tail to maximize traction in all-weather situations. Also, the knife edge tail eliminates the initial "bump" when loading that can cause wheel spin.

  Shorter and Lighter

  Since the tail folds flush to the deck, you don't have to worry about the 4-5 ft of tail overhang that is common on hydraulic dovetails. This fold-over tail and single cylinder design keep the Power Tail short and relatively light to maximize payload capacity. This allows the Power Tail to be installed on short 14k single wheel goosenecks (20 feet) all the way up to triple axle stepdeck trailers as long as 53 feet.

  Smart & Highly Efficient Design

  The Power Tail (patent pending) uses a single hydraulic cylinder to rotate the tail a full 180 degrees. This ingenious tail design is very mechanically efficient, using just a few moving parts with no wasted movement. This greatly reduces the overall cost and weight of the Power Tail.
