Wanted to replace the old ramp that I have which is 8yrs old. For what it cost it should have lasted a lot longer. It wasn't a pet ramp brand, it was the solvit aluminum telescoping kind that the walking part is plastic with some traction tape stuck to it. After using the ramp for a few months things started to fall off and break. I'm mechanically inclined so I just kept fixing it .
Now this ramp looks real nice. First I like the traction thread, molded and rubberized. It feels real nice and looks like it would give the dogs paws a firm footage. Second they claim that it can hold 500.lbs. I'm 260.lbs I walked on it and it did flex some but I didn't feel it was going to come out from underneath me. The plastic hinge looks sturdy. It take some getting use to for opening and folding because of size, also being different than my last ramp. I would like to say I'm satisfied with my purchase. Price, Product quality, and service were outstanding. thank you.
