Product Description
UltraLite Bi-fold Pet Ramp Our most affordable model and the lightest full-size ramp on the market. Simple, folding design. Weighs only 10 lbs and holds over 200 lbs. Our most economical ramp and the lightest full-size ramp on the market! Weighing in at a "feather-light" 10 lbs, the Bi-fold Ramp still supports over 200 lbs. Its rugged, all-plastic construction and simple, folding design make it cinch to use. The ramp also includes a safety release latch to prevent accidental opening, and four rubber feet for sure footing. The walking surface is the same high-traction material found on our other ramps.

3 out of 5 stars Very lightweight   November 17, 2008
Anne (St Paul, MN)
This ramp is very lightweight and easy to manage. The width is a bit narrow, so larger dogs should be surefooted. There is, however, nothing to clip/secure it to the edge of the vehicle - there are rubber feet, which do a fairly good job of keeping it secure, but with a large older dog, who was not surefooted, and only one person trying to hold it and encourage the dog, we tipped because one leg didn't make it to the ramp(dog is fine). On the second and third trys, we managed fine.

I purchased this because my 11 year old golden retriever always tries to jump into the back of my SUV but recently missed and hurt his stomach.
It works great, is easy to store and light enough that my wife can use it. Highly recommend it (get one before the your dog gets hurt as we ended up with $800 in vet bills because of the injury).



5 out of 5 stars Relatively light, easy to use, and very sturdy   September 30, 2008

It's all pretty much in my subject line but here is some advice on how to train your dog to use a ramp. Start with it flat on the ground and entice them to walk across/over it with treats. Then put up up just one step high on some steps they use every day, increase to higher and higher steps (block off the sides so they can't bypass it. BE PATIENT, it takes some TLC but they WILL get it in a few days (if not sooner). I also had success making the ramp the only way they could get up into "their" chair. Also, it is easier for dogs to learn to walk down a ramp before they learn to walk up it, so incorporate that if you can. Do NOT force your dog up or down, let them go at their pace. Anyone who has taken dog agility knows if your dog has a fearful experience with an obstacle or piece of equipment, it becomes A LOT harder to get them to try it some more and master it.

Light, sturdy, easy for my 100lb dog to walk on. Folds in half to fit nicely in the back of the car/truck
great ramp



5 out of 5 stars Great product but my dog was afraid of it!   August 18, 2008

For the money this is one of the best ramps I looked at. It's fairly light and fits perfectly onto the rear passenger door sill of my Chevy Avalanche. Only problem is my 8 year old lab was afraid to walk up it. To her it was just an object in the way and it freaked her out. I'll have to do some training but I plan on keeping it. Since it is plastic there is some flex when 100 lbs or so is put on it. Shouldn't be a problem for most dogs.
