You're not going to see that in the description. Cabela's also sells a similar two piece ramp. Coincidentally, the weight rating is two thirds of the three piece ramp. Doesn't take a degree in physics to determine the max weight is based on all components used in conjunction with each other, not just one section at a time.

I know that.

The other party doesn’t. Seemingly not realizing the sections are joined and help support one another. It is not the same as boards laying side by side.

I wish the rings were closer together. But regardless, boy is that width nice.

I have this to load in my trailer, no problem loading my 21 SGS fully loaded with tourpack and bags full
