what is the weight limit for this ramp? Someone advised me to use it as a ramp for a large dog with joint issues to get in and out of a vehicle.

It's very sturdy. I can stand and walk on it no problem and my son is 105 lbs and he tides bikes and skateboards on it. It would certainly hold a large dog.

Not sure about the actual number, but it has held up fine for 200 pound teenagers. Unless your dog is bigger than that I don't think you should worry

Advertised as 300 lbs. We use it to load a mini horse into a van and it works fine. We did, however, put rubber matting on the top to improve the traction and make it softer.

I just took mine outside to test it on a Chevy Equinox crossover. The door opened wide enough, but just barely. The ramp is not as tall as the seats and there was a gap where my pet would have to jump across, too wide to be able to just step over. My largest pet is a pug, so you may not have that problem. Also something to consider is the way you'll modify the slick carpeting on the ramp. Mine has indoor/outdoor carpeting and I can no longer fold it.

Im not 100% sure what the weight limit is but I would say up to maybe 35 lbs or a little more. I bought this for our shih tzu who weighs 18 lbs. It is very well made and I loved using it on our vacation. She had plenty of room. I just added a towel down to make it more comfy for her. The only issue I had with it was the wheels started squeaking which was very annoying. Im sure some oil would help. Plenty of storage underneath and loved the cup holders.

After discussing this questions with my husband, he believes the wheels are rubber. Possible? Could the manufacture be contacted? I also saw reviews saying the wt. limit is low and no English Cocker Spaniel could use this--my dog is 30 lbs small English Cocker Spaniel and was perfect for him, he can turn around in it, no sagging what so ever, very sturdy. We have used it several times and he loves it. We bought him on the ferry (using elevator to the top outer deck) and he fell asleep for the ride.

I'm not sure the steps are wide enough. It's just right for my 30# dog but 110# isProbably too much. I would think a ramp would work better.

Kelly I don't know how high your cab is, but as for handling the weight, my dog is a 90-lb. lab mix and it supports him beautifully. I had to "ease" him up it the first time - he was a little nervous, but once he went up (treats at the top :)) he took to it and has no problem with using it at all.

the weight limit on these ramps say that it can hold the weight...I think that it may be pushing it, they are light weight welded aluminum at 15 lbs. each ramp. If you are looking for something that will hold up to continuous use you may want to look further. If these are to be used not so often then these are right for you...good luck with your purchase ....whatever it may be....

Don't know for sure, but the ramp is steep, but has good traction-It's like a roofing material that has ridges molded onto it. Size is better for small animals like that. You can close off the ramp if it doesn't work out.

Christine,Would not recommend it for a large dog that might be jumping onto the top of the gate if you are planning to open and close it on a regular basis. Have my gate at the base of the stairs to keep two older Labs downstairs with a 38 inch opening. Had to keep adjusting the level of the gate till I trained the children not to push down on the gate. Can provide photos of the gate if requested.Still would give it 5 stars for a temporary gate. With 8 and 4 year old children their weight pulling down on the top end by the latch during opening and closing the gate would cause it to not latch.

It held up for my bike, but between the bike and myself we're only 500 lbs. I have it at the entrance of my garage because there was a pretty large lip from our garage to our driveway. Problem is that the ramp is higher than the garage so it doesn't line up well. Measure first if that's your intended purpose. Hope that helps.

This is a great ramp. But we only use it in the back of our pickup. I'm 72 years old and have no problem opening and closing it up. Our 70 lb Siberian husky walks right up it. Never had to train her at all, mainly cause the service is just like our treadmill that she walks on everyday. If I had to put it in my Tahoe SUV, I'm sure it would fit. It has a handle and is not that heavy. Hope this info helps. Lynda california

If you put it in a side door, the ramp would sit at quite a slant, not good. Its really designed for a rear open vehicle like a SUV. I have a jeep 4x4. Our 2 boxers and golden retriever shoot in and out using the ramp safely. The golden weighs 130 pounds and its still secure.

I don't think there is a weight limit per se. I wouldn't hesitate standing on it and I'm 175#. Also, it is not wobbly at all, the legs are quite strong. I think the limit would be more likely to be the length of the dog vis-a-vis the length of the table.

Hard to say, as the manufacturer doesn't seem to advertise this information. One vendor says 125 pounds. I used it at a dog show with a max payload of 75-80 pounds. It worked very well.

I don't know what the manufacturer says the weight limit is, but I use it at 195. Still sturdy. No wobbles. Now I'm not jumping on it or anything. Just sitting. Sometimes my dog hops on with me. She is about 35lbs. So together, we are over the 200 mark.

I bought it for my 14.5 year old lab who had hip problems. It took me pulling and my sister pushing to get her up the ramp. That said, I think a healthy dog would use it after a few trials. The ramp has a non slip surface which should give them assurance.

The ramp is strong enough to hold the dog but I am not sure he will be able to climb up the ramp with bad hips. Our dog ( Welsh Corgi) is old and has arthritis in her hips plus bad eye sight and she would go down the ramp but refused to go up the ramp. Maybe because your dog is bigger it might be easier for the size of your dog. Sorry I can't give a more definitive answer but it did not work for our dog. The ramp is strong and has a good covering for non slip climbing. The product is solid but again I can't tell if it would work for your dog.
