APEX 36" Lightweight Foam Trailer Ramp Kit
3.5" Height / 5.4° Approach Angle / Set of 2
The APEX 36" Lightweight Foam Trailer Ramp Kit makes loading low cars onto trailers predictable instead of stressful. Each 36 inch ramp reduces the approach angle to 5.4 degrees, so splitters, side skirts, and long overhangs clear cleanly without stacking lumber or improvising blocks. A high density structural foam core and durable textured coating keep the ramps light to carry yet strong under load, while a reinforced UHMW insert embedded into the shelf area prevents compression and deformation where the ramp rests on the trailer. The result is a compact, professional loading solution that protects both your vehicle and your trailer every time you drive on.

APEX Trailer Ramps For Low Cars
Loading a low car onto a trailer should not feel like a stunt. APEX trailer ramps are purpose built for sports cars, track builds, exotics, and long overhang coupes that hate steep trailer doors. Each lightweight foam ramp uses a high density structural core and a textured coating to cut the approach angle, smooth the transition, and protect splitters, lips, and exhaust. You get serious load capacity, ultra light handling, and geometry that is tuned for real enclosed and open car haulers. No more sketchy lumber stacks, no more guessing at angles, just clean, predictable loading.
Load Low Cars Without the Drama
If you are tired of stacking wood planks, shoving plastic blocks under the trailer door, and still hearing that horrible scrape when a low car goes on, APEX 36" Lightweight Foam Trailer Ramp Kit fixes the problem at the source. It extends your existing trailer door or ramps and brings the approach angle down to just 5.4 degrees, so splitters, lips, and long overhangs clear cleanly. Instead of inching forward and hoping for the best, you get a smooth, predictable transition that feels controlled from the moment the front tires touch the ramp.
APEX Trailer Ramps are engineered for long service life. Each ramp features a reinforced UHMW insert embedded into the shelf area, so the point where the ramp rests against the trailer door is built to handle repeated load cycles without crushing or deforming. With this kit in the trailer, loading starts to feel like part of the plan instead of a workaround. You place the trailer ramps, line up the car, and drive on. No guesswork, no improvisation, and no surprise contact with the trailer edge.
Compact Geometry With a Big Effect
APEX 36" Lightweight Foam Trailer Ramp Kit is tuned for users who need a meaningful reduction in approach angle without committing to oversized ramp sections. At 36 inches long and 3.5 inches high, each trailer ramp delivers the geometry you need to get low cars on board while staying compact enough to store easily in most enclosed or open trailers.
The 5.4 degree approach angle is ideal for modern sports cars, performance sedans, and many mildly lowered vehicles that struggle with typical trailer doors. It softens that first point of contact so the car transitions gradually up to the trailer surface instead of hitting a sharp breakover. For operators moving different vehicles on the same trailer, that consistency alone is worth it.
Lightweight Structural Foam That Works Like a Solid Ramp
Inside each ramp is a high density structural foam core engineered to carry real vehicle loads while keeping weight impressively low. This is not a hollow plastic shell. The core spreads the load throughout the ramp body so it resists permanent sagging or collapse, even after repeated use.
The result is a ramp that feels solid under the tire but remains easy to handle. One person can pull both ramps from storage, position them in place, and be ready to load in seconds. When the day is over, they tuck away without eating up half the trailer.
Durable, Textured Surface That Stays Put
The core is fully encapsulated in a tough, textured coating that protects the foam and adds grip at the same time. The surface is designed to interface with both the trailer deck and the tire, helping the ramp stay in place during loading and providing confident traction under the vehicle.
On epoxy coated shop floors, typical trailer surfaces, or driveway concrete, that texture works quietly in the background so you do not have to think about the ramp sliding while a low, expensive front bumper is hanging over the edge. It is built for the kind of use that happens in real garages and at real tracks, not just in a brochure.
Reinforced Trailer Interface for Long Term Use
The most critical area on any trailer ramp is the interface where it meets the trailer door or ramp. That is where compression, edge rounding, and long term deformation usually start. APEX Trailer Ramps address this directly with a reinforced UHMW insert embedded into the shelf area, creating a hard wearing contact zone that resists crushing and creep under repeated load.
Because the UHMW reinforcement carries the contact stress, the shelf stays square, the angle stays true, and the foam body is protected from premature damage. When you seat the ramps against the trailer, they sit positively in place and stay where you put them. That stability helps keep the geometry consistent and makes loading predictable for every vehicle that follows, season after season.
Designed Around Real Transport Work
The 36" Lightweight Foam Trailer Ramp Kit is built for people who move cars regularly and want that process to feel controlled and repeatable. Track day drivers who haul their own cars, small transport companies, dealers, and enthusiasts with enclosed haulers all benefit from a solution that replaces improvised blocks with a purpose built tool.
Because the ramps are lightweight, solid, and quiet in use, they can live in the trailer full time without becoming a hassle. There is nothing to rust, no sharp edges to damage finished floors, and no paint to flake off. Just a pair of ramps that do their job every time you roll a low car up to a trailer.
Behind the clean design is a simple goal from APEX. Make loading low vehicles safer for the car, easier for the operator, and smarter than stacking scrap lumber under a trailer door. This kit does exactly that.
Who Is This Product Best For?
- Owners of low profile sports cars, exotics, and track cars that struggle to clear typical trailer doors.
- Track day regulars and race teams who load and unload vehicles frequently and want a professional, repeatable setup.
- Dealers and transport companies that move performance vehicles and need to protect customer cars from damage.
- Enthusiasts with enclosed or open car haulers who want to ditch the sketchy lumber wood blocks and upgrade to a clean, engineered solution.
Why APEX Trailer Ramps Beat Improvised Solutions
Scrap 2x12s and random blocks are heavy, inconsistent, and never quite the same twice. APEX trailer ramps are engineered, not improvised. Approach angles are calculated for low cars, lengths are tuned around real trailers, and each ramp is built from a solid foam core that feels planted under load. You still use your existing trailer door or steel ramps, but you add a smooth, controlled ramp in front that makes every load-in feel like a plan instead of a workaround.
Lightweight Foam, Heavyweight Performance
APEX ramps deliver the same kind of loading confidence you expect from premium foam brands, but with geometry and features tuned to modern car haulers. The high density core spreads weight through the body of the ramp while staying light enough to carry with one hand. A rugged textured shell grips concrete, asphalt, and typical trailer decks, so the ramps stay put while the car climbs. The result is a compact, easy to store ramp that punches well above its weight in actual use.
Built For Track Days, Transport, And Dealers
Whether you are a weekend track regular, a small transport company, or a dealer who moves inventory every day, APEX trailer ramps give you a repeatable setup you can trust. Low cars roll on without scraping, techs and drivers stop wrestling lumber, and customer vehicles stop paying the price for bad loading angles. Pair the right ramp length and height to your trailer, and you have a loading system that works the same way every single time.
Trailer Ramp FAQs
How do I pick the right APEX trailer ramp for my trailer?
Match two things: the height you need at the trailer door and how low your vehicles are. Taller doors and more aggressive drops benefit from longer ramps with shallower angles. Measure your current door height and choose the APEX trailer ramp kit that delivers a lower approach angle than what you are fighting now.
Can I use APEX trailer ramps with both enclosed and open trailers?
Yes. APEX trailer ramps are designed to work in front of fold down doors and traditional steel ramps on both enclosed and open car haulers. As long as you have a flat, stable surface in front of the trailer to place the ramps, you are good.
Are APEX trailer ramps rated for real vehicle weights, not just small sports cars?
The structural foam core is engineered for thousands of pounds per pair, covering most sports cars, coupes, sedans, and many light trucks and SUVs. Always check the specific model rating and compare it against your front axle weight and trailer use.
How do APEX trailer ramps compare to steel or aluminum ramps?
Steel and aluminum tend to be heavy and loud, with fixed geometry. APEX ramps are lighter, quieter, and designed specifically to soften approach angles for low cars. They complement your existing trailer door or ramps instead of replacing them outright.
Can I leave the ramps in the trailer full time?
Yes. The closed cell foam and durable coating are built to handle typical trailer environments. They will not rust, do not absorb water, and can live in the trailer year round without complaint.

One Idea. Four Ways To Use It
APEX ramps solve the same problem in different places - on the trailer, in the garage, on the lift and when the car sits for a while.
From The Lift People. For The Ramp Problem.
APEX is born inside the same group that builds BendPak car lifts. That means these ramps were sketched on shop floors, tested under real cars and refined around real frustrations. APEX ramps are not just an accessory. They are part of a system. The missing piece between the floor, the trailer and the lift your car already trusts.
All The Strength. None Of The Struggle.
Steel ramps are strong but heavy. Aluminum is lighter but still a fight. APEX ramps use a solid, lightweight high-density EPS structural foam core that changes the math. The foam core spreads weight through the body instead of concentrating it at thin contact points. The outer skin is a tough, textured coating that locks to the core and grips tires and floors. Don't dread the setup. Grab an APEX ramp, drop it where it belongs and get on with the work.
What's Inside Every APEX Ramp?
APEX ramps are not painted mystery foam. Each one is a composite: a high density expanded polystyrene core locked inside a sprayed polyurea elastomer shell. The chemistry is overbuilt for what you do to ramps in the real world.
Polyurea Coating On The Outside
The outer shell is a two component polyurea elastomer sprayed directly onto the foam. Isocyanate and amine react in milliseconds to form long chains of urea linkages that crosslink into a dense, rubber tough skin. That chemistry gives you high tensile strength, very high elongation and serious abrasion resistance in one layer.
The coating wets into the EPS surface while it cures, so it does not sit on top like paint. It keys into the core and locks on, which is why you can drag APEX ramps across concrete, load on them all weekend and not watch the shell peel away.
- Fast cure time for a seamless shell around the core.
- High elongation and impact resistance for dropped tools and curb hits.
- Micro textured finish that grips tires and typical shop floors.
- Excellent resistance to oil, fuel, coolant and most common shop chemicals.
High Density Expanded Polystyrene On The Inside
The core starts as styrene beads that are pre expanded with steam, then fused under heat and pressure into a solid block. At the densities APEX uses, expanded polystyrene behaves like a structural foam: rigid enough to carry heavy loads, light enough to move with one hand and stable across real temperature swings in trailers and garages.
Closed cell structure means the beads trap gas rather than water. The core does not soak up moisture, does not rust and does not slowly turn to mush if you park on it for long stretches. Compression is distributed through the whole block instead of one thin wall, which is why APEX ramps feel planted when you drive onto them.
- High compressive strength relative to weight for real vehicle loads.
- Closed cell construction that resists water ingress and freeze damage.
- Dimensionally stable across typical shop and trailer temperatures.
- Acts as a damping layer so ramps stay quiet under the car.
Two Materials Working As One.
Put together, the EPS core and polyurea shell give APEX ramps a solid core feel with a tough, grippy surface that holds up to trailers, lifts and low cars that actually get driven.
