What sort of non-slip material is used to keep the ramp held securely to the vehicle?

It has 2 round rubber disks. I have a Ford SUV and 2 English Mastiffs that are around 170 lbs each. My younger one is a little crazy and was running up and down it. It did not move. My older girl is very skiddish and she felt secure on it.

a rubber like texture...just make sure you test it yourself before putting the dog on it or your bike...

Mindy Carle- it really works well. I am on my 3rd English Mastiff using it.

Rubber feet at the base of the ramp or maybe a soft plastic. For me it has never slipped. Just extend the ramp far enough so it is not real steep and the dogs will run up and down it. I steady the ramp in uneven areas.

The bottom of the unit has strips of hook velcro to keep it from sliding around. It sticks very well to the trunk carpet in my 1998 pontiac grand prix.

I agree that a connector would be really helpful. We discovered if you place a piece of wide tape, such as packing tape across the bottom of the two blue ramp pieces, then it stays in place. If you are handy with a drill then you could probably create your own connector and discard the tape idea.

The ramp will fold down flat on the rack and is secured to the rack with a strap. The rack does not fold up to the vehicle when not in use. This is a great product. I use mine all the time.

use it to hold your cellphone or navigation system in a place while driving. it's easy to install and will never fall down. its well-made and I have been using two of them keeping my phone fixed while I am driving.

Just a screw driver. The barrier has screws that you tighten using a screw driver that clamp down on the verticals bars and keep them from moving. Not the best quality tho, I always keep screw driver in the car as these need to be tightened frequently.

It is a flexible rubber that bends - it will keep most items from rolling around. Cans will roll, etc. just like in anything but for the most part I am very pleased with its performance and keeping the back end of the car easier to clean.

I also have carpeting and have no trouble with movement. However, I just rechecked my organizer to see what makes it "no-slip". I would say that the primary bottom material (my guess is vinyl) is not no-slip. The bottom border (all the way around) is a no-slip rubber-like material. My guess is that without any modification, it would slip on some plastics so it depends on the type plastic of your cargo liner. Some possible suggestions if it doesn't hold in place is to add a rubber tape to the bottom that does hold or add velcro. I guess for your purposes you could add velcro to the milk crate but I do like this organizer and am glad I bought it. I also have carpeting and have no trouble with movement.

at the top or front of the ramp there is a lip that is flat and when you put it next to thefloor of the car or truck, it acts like an anchor for the top, plus the bottom of the ramp has a rubberized base to help keep it from slipping. You do have to make sure there is enough room to extend the ramp all the way open and perpendicular to the car to prevent slipping. I love this ramp, My elderly pyreenes uses it to get up into my chevy truck...

It's a lightweight metal. Very sturdy and I've never had a problem with it slipping.

The unit has a strap that can attach to the latch mechanism on the back of the vehicle. With our smaller dog there isn't much need to secure it though. The top of the ramp has a little bit of a lip to it.

Yes. I want a hitch based system where I can store the ramp in a cargo carrier in the hitch and not have to sling it in and out of the car. I have tried using bungee cords to keep it along the side of the area where my dog is (in suburban and jetta) but doesn't stay securely - fell over on him once. So I have to take up the back seat (now have jetta).

As I understand it, the bolts help provide traction so the ramp doesn't slide on certain surfaces

its a polyester type of material and supports our 70# dog quite nicely. we usually have it covered with a padded mat to level it since our car seat is somewhat sloped.

The weight of the ramp itself seems to keep it in place. We've had one in place for at least 6 months and have never had an issue. Our doorsill upon which it rests does have several ridges and that may also help.

I just wrap it around the cage as I would a passenger. On long trips, I have the rear seats of my SUV down I use bungee cords hooked from the cage into the headrest posts of the front passenger/or driver. I found it keeps the carrier from tipping over during sudden stops. I do the same for my dog kennels. Secure them down with Bungee cords.
