What's so special about a Rampless trailer?

Rampless trailers give their users the independence to move heavy loads , safely and quickly, all on their own. The principle of wheel-on, roll-off means one does not need strength to move loads over 20kg which is the recommended maximum for manual lifting.

​

What happens if the load is too heavy to wheel onto the trailer?​

The winch that is used for raising the platform can also be used to haul the cargo onto the trailer. By unhitching the snap-shackle from the beam and the rope can be connected to the cargo.

​

Can I use a Rampless trailer other than for bikes?

Off-course, any cargo that fits the platform area with wheels large enough to mount the platform, is perfect. Lawnmowers, plant equipment and furniture are first to come to mind.

The LAZY-LOWDER LL08 is large enough to take a pallet load weighing up to 500kg.

You want the centre-of-gravity just forward of the wheels.
Remove the wheel/channels if they are in the way. (A note though that the eye nuts do not have welded threads this means you need to loosen/fasten from above and below the loading platform)

​

What if I want to use the trailer for firewood or garden refuse?

The law says you need to "cover your load." A simple was, is to lay shade cloth or a tarpaulin over the loading platform, so that it flaps over the sides. After loading, simply close the flaps and strap into place. A cargo net will also come in handy.
