Load Out Ramp

A load-out ramp gives cattle a proper incline to walk up into a trailer. A fixed ramp with solid sides and good footing is a good deal less stressful than backing a trailer to a bank and hoping the cattle cooperate.

Cattle load better when they can see a clear path and the surface under them does not move. A ramp with side panels blocks distractions and keeps animals from stepping off the edge.

Ramps are usually set at the end of an alley or beside a pen, so cattle come straight from the chute to the trailer. Height has to match the trailer deck so there is no step up or drop at the top. For a place that loads out regularly, a ramp pays for itself in fewer wrecks and faster loading.
