Revarc Review
RevArc HD Ramps
By Don McNeilly
We had the opportunity to test out the world’s first tri-fold arched ramps. They are called REVARC HD, the HD stands for heavy duty. They arrived at our office with a heavy bubble wrap, along with extra corner protection. We couldn’t wait to tear open the bubble wrap and get a look at them. The weight was manageable at 48 pounds. The first thing we noticed as we unwrapped the ramps was the extra-wide gate grip that fits on the tailgate; it is the full length of each ramp, which is 21 inches per side. The ramp also has a patented middle Tri-Loc stabilizer that makes the ramp a total of 64 inches wide when fully opened. The extra width makes it a breeze to load all the toys, from UTVs to ATVs, adult and youth models. That is one of the very best features of this ramp. No matter what you have for toys, one ramp will take care of all your needs. You can load vehicles from 24 to 64.5 inches wide on the same ramp.
The next day we met a group of Discount Tire employees at Speedworld, which is a Motocross /UTV race track in Arizona. We had had a lot of rain the day before, so the track was muddy. We asked Chad Emehiser, the General Manager for Discount Tire Direct, if he would drive Eric’s Yamaha Rhino up the ramp on the wet grounds to see just how stable it truly is in the muddy conditions. We set up the ramps with ease, setting the ramps on the tailgate and opening them up across the tailgate and securing them easily with the attached cinch strap attached to the ramp. The Rhino went up the arched ramp with ease. The extra-long 90-inch ramps offer as much safer loading angle, along with the added traction of the ramp slats. Chad drove the Rhino up the ramp, stopping in the middle to check for flex, but there was none whatsoever. Even with the muddy tires, the Rhino went up the HD Arch Ramp with ease. With the stability of the exclusive Tri-Loc technology, there was not the slightest bit of twist, plus with the slight raised side rails there was no doubt you were centered on the ramps. Once your ride is safely in the back of your truck, simply undo the cinch strap, fold the ramps and slide them under your rig to stow them away. It just doesn’t get any safer or easier than that.
The ramps also come with a limited lifetime warranty against defects in workmanship or materials. At a retail cost of $299, we feel this is an excellent value.
RevArc also offers 2 other ramps:
RevArc 72-inch ramp and RevArc 90-inch ramp. The difference in these two ramps other than the length is the load capacity, which is 1300 lbs, the open width is 55 inches, and the ramp width is 18 inches.
RevArc 72-inch ramp retails for $199, and the RevArc 90-inch ramp retails for $239.
