Would this work to move a bike up a small flight of concrete steps (3 of them I believe)? Do you think the ramp would remain stable?

Hi Becky - It should be fine, but I would make the suggestion that you don't "ride" the bike up the stairs...being that you probably won't have anything to secure the ramp to (unlike a truck bumper if going into a truck bed). You don't want to accidentally give the bike too much gas and send the ramp shooting out the back of the bike...You should be fine pushing up the bike.

Absolutely. I use it for a motorcycle to get in the back of my truck and trailers. Very sturdy. Well built.

It will be a task to move this alone, but I feel that it can be moved up 2 stairs and slid into a desired location. Make sure you take note of the weight of the rider, it is not a light piece of equipment.

Our dog is an older girl. We use it to help her get up into the back seat of the truck. she doesn't like the feel of the ramp plus the newness but will still use it with some guidance. I would think it would work well for your three steps.

Gravel wouldn't work well because you can't slide off it onto gravel. The ramp is not high at all-only about a foot off the ground

Should work, you will probably need a drop hitch and perhaps a small ramp to load the bike.

no.. I don't think it could be strong enough.. It works just fine with a light bicycle.

If your bike is light no problem. Maybe get an extension for the ramp or the steep angel might be a little harder. I usually pull up next to a curb when possible and have the bike on the sidewalk but I am a woman so it's a little heavier for me.

Using it on two steps would depend on the distance of the risers and treads of the steps. It would be hard to tell without measuring specifically. It could be estimated by laying a board the same dimension as the ramp over the steps to see if it cleared the steps.

the top of the base plate is exactly 1 inch off the floor (I just measured it with calipers). I think it would work fine to raise your wheel a bit, though if all you need is a riser, you might find a less expensive solution. If you also need a bike stand, then this could work just fine.

It can lift both ends of the bike off the ground. Stability with my Valkyrie was good but I'd still feel better tying off the bars somehow, either from above, like from the rafters or to ground anchors. In other words, if you had it jacked up it wouldn't take too much to knock it over though if not bumped it would stay there forever, I think.

The trailer floor is about 20 inches from the ground so with a ramp it would be easy to load and haul your bike. The only drawback is that it would take up about 1/3 of the space so it would limit other things that you would waqnt to load on the trailer.

I wouldn't recommend it. I don't think there is a wide enough span for this to be stable on an incline. Even on a level surface I still make sure I put a heavy weight on it, just to be safe!

Yes it should work since it is adjustable it shouldn't be to difficult to use on stairs.

I don't think so. It needs a level straight path. It's also pretty heavy and not that easy to separate into the two sections. My wife cannot set it up. Small wheels at the bottom would be a good idea if they would contact the ground when the ramp is being removed from the top side.

I'm not sure it would be stable enough for four bikes. Aside from that even if you put bikes across from each other your handlebars would not have space. So i'd say no.

Yes, as long as you are careful as it is not a solid block. It would work as a step.

It depends how far off the ground it is, because if it's like some trucks that angle might be pretty steep. I bought it for my 85 pound weimaraner who has arthritis and honestly she has refused to use it or any ramp. If your dog is pretty mobile, it might work for you.
