The Pet Gear Tri-Fold Pet Ramp with supertraX allows your pet easy access into your vehicle or other hard to reach places with a better grip than ever before. The removable supertraX mat is pressure activated, meaning your pet will easily be able to grip into the mat, simply by putting weight on it. The supertraX mat is much preferred to other types of carpet treads because it allows your pet’s paws to have a greater surface area contact with the ramp, creating greater stability. The mat is also removable for easy cleaning. Bottom grippers and included safety tether help the ramp maintain in a steady position. The ramp has a carry handle for easy transportation and a patented Tri-Fold design which reduces storage space.

Well worth the price
I purchased this ramp prior to my Golden Retriever’s TPLO surgery. I was unsure of what I would need, where I would use it, and how well my dog would adjust to “ramping”. Wow… I did not EVER regret buying this! I chose the longest and widest model, hoping this would help her comfort level in using it, and it was a good option for us. It took a very short time to get her trained – in only a few days the question “Want some ramp time?” got her tail wagging. (Shredded cheese is a great motivator. ) I mainly bought it to get her in and out of the back of my RAV4, but found I could use it multiple places. It worked on my 3 step front porch as well as the short 5 step flight to my second floor, and though that is a bit steeper she can manage it with support from a sling. I also tried it as a ramp up to my bed (yes, she lounges on my bed) as well as the love seat she has claimed as her own, and it worked fine in those locations as well. For any use other than the back of the vehicle the ramp was not anchored, so I advise using it with caution. For us, the weight of the ramp and the lip at the top edge have held it securely in every location – it has never slipped.Others have noted that the largest size can be heavy. I thought it was quite manageable. For reference, I am a 67 year old woman with no great upper body strength. The ramp folds nicely and easily fits in the back seat when my dog is in the rear cargo area. The surface is great – not too abrasive but offers plenty of traction. My dog has never slipped while using it. I have not had to do it, but it looks like it would be easy to clean.I was overwhelmed with purchases and choices while preparing for the surgery, and selecting a ramp was no exception. I debated trying less expensive models, but am very glad I bought this one. I would highly recommend it.

Great ramp
First of all, I would like to point out some issues with most of the bad reviews:For one, too many people are not considering the angle to the height that the ramp is to be used for. The higher up you go, the more length is necessary to keep the angle at a reasonable degree so it won’t be too steep. But it would seem some people don’t realize that, or they just don’t want to spend anymore than the least they can possibly get away with so they buy the 42″ and complain about how terrible it is. I’m all for saving money, but a little common sense goes a long way. So yeah, if you buy the 42″ ramp, it may be too steep for your vehicle height. That is not the fault of the ramp, but the buyer.Second, the shorter ramps are going to be more narrow, which you may need to accommodate your door opening if you even can use a side door, but your dog may not feel secure walking a narrow plank. Older, larger dogs don’t often see well and kind of waddle, unable to put one foot in front of the other as they did when they were young. They need a wider berth.Third, and this is the biggie… again a little critical thinking goes a long way here… so many reviewers are giving bad reviews for it not fitting in the side doors of their vehicles. NOWHERE in the pictures nor description, does the manufacturer show or state that it can be used on side doors of vehicles, with the exception of one pic of a minivan. It is made to go into the rear hatch, but will also work with a sliding side door like a minivan as one picture shows. Trying to get it onto the door sill of a car (sedan) door will not work in most cases. You may get the shortest ramp to fit into a front door on some vehicles, but most back doors don’t open that far. This is all just basic geometry that is obviously not some people’s strong suit. People just want what they want, and logic be damned. SMHMy crew cab pickup has plenty of door opening space to accommodate a ramp. Toyota Tundra’s have the largest back door and rear seat leg room, bigger than Dodge. I for one, took all of this into consideration when I bought the first ramp (different brand) for my 4 door crew cab truck. I desperately needed some assistance with getting my 2 large dogs (80 & 90 lbs) in and out of the truck to go to the Vet. I actually went out and measured the door opening and the angle at which it’s open, and compared that with the width of the other brand of ramp I purchased. That ramp is a little narrower than this one (17″ wide), and has a sandpaper like surface for grip. It also telescopes instead of folding. Telescoping can be an advantage, to get the exact length you need or desire. That ramp stays on the floor in the backseat of my truck because it’s rather heavy and I don’t feel like carrying it to and from all the time. Besides that, my dogs own the backseat, so I don’t worry about accommodating people back there. If need be, people can just put there feet on top of it. Washing it is a bit of a pain as I have to take it to the car wash and blast it with water to get the grit out of the tracks or it won’t slide.Now for this ramp review. Needing something a bit more user friendly, I bought this one solely to use indoors. I have a tall bed and my dogs are older now and cannot make the jump up that high. On top of that, jumping down to the floor (3 ft) is quite hard on their joints. One of them has a partially ruptured Achilles tendon and cannot jump at all anymore. She was feeling left out and sad, you could tell by the look on her face, when her sister and I would go to bed every night and she had to stay on the couch. She came in many times and sat next to the bed looking up and wanting to jump, but she never did and would eventually go back to the couch. I even made wooden stairs for them to use. At first that worked, but after a couple years, she couldn’t manage the stairs anymore. And even when they did use the stairs, they would still jump down, rather than going down the stairs. So I’ve been very concerned about joint damage from jumping down as well as getting up on the bed.This is a very well designed and constructed portable ramp. It’s lighter weight than my truck ramp. It’s easy for me to fold and move around. Being that I’m not using it for a vehicle that has a door sill for it to rest on, I set it on top of the 26″ high wooden stairs that I made, next to the bed. From there they can jump or step one foot up onto the bed. I like the texture of the SuperTrax mats on it. They are soft but give very good grip, which is something that can be a total deal breaker for older dogs with less sure footing. Once they try and slip or fall on something, good luck getting them to ever be trusting of said device. And the mats are removable, attached with velcro, so they’re easy to remove and clean in a sink or washtub or garden hose. And the plastic ramp itself can be washed by hand, hosed, pressure washed, sterilized with strong disinfectants if need be, you name it. But I don’t foresee ever needing more than a damp rag to wipe it down.Now for the weight rating. Some have complained about it not holding the weight of dogs it says it does. And that’s confusing. One place says 150 lbs for the 71″ ramp, another says 200 lbs. I cannot comment on the smaller 42″ and 66″ sizes as I bought the 71″ x 19.5″ ramp. For my 90 lb dog, it only bounces/bows a little, maybe a half inch when she uses it. That doesn’t bother her or affect her ability to use it. I weigh 145 lbs and I can walk all the way up it and it only bows about an inch in the middle when I get to that point. That’s to be expected with a plastic ramp that spans 6 ft in length. The longer the span and more weight, the more deflection there will be. So if you really need 150 lbs or more of load capacity, you may not be satisfied with even the largest of these ramps.Overall, this is a very nice ramp. It’s light enough for me, 67 yr old woman, for lifting and carrying. The textured gripping pads are like rubber spaghetti, so very soft and pliable. It folds and locks and has a carrying handle. It has a nylon strap at the top with a carabiner to attach it to the U shaped latch in the back door opening of an SUV, which is what the ramp is designed for. So if you have a car and want a ramp, you better buy a short step stool to place on the ground below the door and lay the ramp sideways on it. I’m very pleased with it, and my Jilly Bean is happy as can be back on the bed again.

Update 4/8/24 Ramp really works well
Update Returned larger heavier one & replaced it with the shorter light one. Itâs perfect & easier to use but can only be used for back seat. To short for use into trunk of my SUV!Original was bit heavier then I thought, BUT I was able to fold the last piece under and my dog could easily get into the back seat of my Cherokee. Eventually I will use the full length to get her into the back. She is very afraid of ramps. This has a green carpet which is good for traction. This wider ramp made it easier so she didnât fall off! Iâm only 4â10â so itâs a bit difficult for me to lift into back hatch but I was very great fil that it worked for Nala. Well constructed & strong! Not flimsy!

what I needed
I had; a 16″ ramp, and dog had stepped off it. Thlis ramp seems to be working pretty good. A little heavy but secure.

Ramp
This is well made but was way too heavy for us to lug in and out so for that reason we had to do a return

It works great!
I have a 70 lb dog that has ACL issues. She is just a bit too heavy to lift up into my Jeep. It’s Xtra wide and has good grip. She goes right up (following a piece of turkey of course). It’s not too cumbersome and super easy to fold back up. I was suprised how sturdy it was.

I LEARNING TO LOVE IT!
For those who have an elderly dog and are now having to assist your puppy just go up and down steps to the yard, having a ramp really helps. I have a 14.5 year old “puppy” who sometimes has difficulty going up and down 3 steps to the yard. Having a ramp to assist has helped to relieve my anxiety a great deal. Just remember your dog won’t know nor trust the ramp initially, you will need to teach him/her or he/she will avoid using it – once they understand what it’s for, I guarantee things will be quite different! But not playing or running on the ramp for safety reasons!
