I can see how one would work but would not want to step on it accidently  My trailer has a 4' beavertail so I jack the front up quite a bit and it goes in/out with no problems... Now the TS car is a big PITA!! My next trailer will be 2' longer, 8' beavertail with drop start axles.

Yeah with the longer beaver tail it would require less
of a angle to get the rear point to the same height

I use 2 of the ramps you buy at Advance to drive up on to change your oil. I place them in front of the rear tires drive up on them. Its gets the front of the trailer up and only takes a few seconds.

That looks cool. It’s a PITA getting my RED over the beaver tail on my trailer. I have to jack the front of the trailer up and use 2x8 planks to keep from getting hung up on the hump.
Told you get a door car Russ!!

that looks like something i would trip over. 
my 40' trailer with 8' beaver tail, and 4' flap with 3" bumpers under door and it still won't go in. not sure what those axles are though.

I have the same trailer (40ft gooseneck and 8ft beavertail) and it works fine. I don't have to jack up the trailer but I use ramps. It is a tad overpriced, but what racing product isn't? And I would rather support a racer, and those people are.

It is, I've had trailers both ways.

I hope I can post this picture for everyone to see how the ramps raise the front of my 40' GN.
With the lenth of the homemade ramps in the picture with out the ramps I had trouble loading & unloading the car.Now with the ramps I no longer have to use them.
