Enclosed Snowmobile Trailer Ramp Lip

[brada]

I am curious what anybody has used to put on the tops of the doors on your enclosed trailers to keep the skis from catching when loading? I've seen plastic hinged flip over ramp extension deals that look like they'd work pretty well. What have you used and where did you find them? Thanks for the help.

I cut a piece of a bed liner, used some self taping screws, works awesome. sleds glide right up.

Saw someone using a length of PVC (probably 2") there and in the gap between the ramp and trailer when open...seeemed like it would work well to protect the edges.

These products work great. Been using them for years. My brother got a new 2 place inclosed and the lip was about 5" thick. They did have a nice design on the lip with an angled pc of Aluminum with a UHMW insert but the carbides still dug in. He bought the Caliber edge guides with the hinges and they didn't work Very well at first. We couldn't locate the Hinge's in a good place to be strong enough to drive on and too let the door close. We ended taking the hinges off the screwing them directly to the lip. Work perfect! they only draw back was the gasket on the door made it hard to close .

Yea, I pretty much made the caliber edge glides out of a piece of bed liner..I'll snap a pic when I pick up my trailer at Excell's tomorrow..

This is a great idea, sounds about as easy as it could get.

I use PVC pipe about 3 or 4 inch and it works well.

I can get you the caliber hinged guides. Think a set of 2 is only around $28.

The beauty of the hinged guides is they don't obstruct the view of the low lights. A lot of the extensions block a lot of the taillight visibility.

I just made a buffer out of 1" x 3" rip of oak. It had a pc. of L channel screwed to the bottom. you set it over the front edge of the fold out lip and the L channel held it
in place so carbides would not catch on the ramp lip.

here is what mine looks like with a few pieces of a bed liner added to the lip...
