🚛🐴 Another Happy Owner & One Safe Ramp! 🐴🚛
These lovely customers came to DM Horseboxes because their horsebox ramps had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing. Over time, ramps take a huge amount of weight and stress – horses, equipment, weather, and daily use all take their toll🔧✨
A horsebox ramp is one of the most important safety parts of your vehicle. If it isn’t properly maintained, it can become weak, heavy to lift, or even dangerous for both horse and handler. 😬
Here are a few simple ramp maintenance tips to help keep everything working smoothly:
🛢️ Keep spring casings oiled – This helps the ramp lift system work properly and prevents stiffness or failure.
🔩 Grease your ramp hinges regularly – Hinges carry the full weight of the ramp and need lubrication to prevent wear and rust.
🧽 Keep the ramp clean – Mud, manure, and water trapped in the ramp structure can cause rot and corrosion.
🧰 Check the ramp frame and boards – Look for soft spots, movement, or rust that could weaken the structure.
⚖️ Watch for weight changes – If your ramp suddenly feels heavier or uneven, it could mean the springs or structure need attention.
✔️ A clean, lubricated and well-maintained ramp will last much longer and operate safely.
✔️ Regular maintenance helps avoid expensive repairs or full ramp replacements later on.
✔️ Most importantly, it keeps your horses safe when loading and unloading 🐎💚
If your ramp feels heavy, noisy, or looks worn, it’s always best to get it checked sooner rather than later.
