Matrix Concepts Loading Ramps: Built for Riders Who Demand More

When it comes to loading a dirt bike, ATV, or UTV into a truck bed or onto a trailer, the ramp you choose matters as much as any other piece of riding gear. Matrix Concepts has built a reputation among serious motocross and off-road enthusiasts as a brand that engineers its products to meet the demands of professional racing environments — and their loading ramps are no exception.

The A-Series: Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Engineering

Matrix Concepts' flagship loading ramp lineup centers on the A-Series, which includes the popular A7 and A8 aluminum folding ramps. Both models are constructed from 6063 aircraft-quality tubing with aircraft-quality TIG welds, delivering a strength-to-weight ratio that competitive riders depend on. The A7 measures 7 feet in length and 7 inches in width, while the A8 extends to 8 feet with the same 7-inch width — giving riders the choice of a more compact option or a gentler loading angle for heavier machines.

Weight capacity is a critical factor for any loading ramp, and both A-Series models are engineered to handle the job. The A7 is rated for 500 lbs, while the A8 is rated at 550+ lbs, making them well-suited for everything from lightweight motocross bikes to heavier ATVs and UTVs.

Exclusive "Slow Motion" Folding Hinge

One of the most distinctive features separating Matrix Concepts ramps from generic alternatives is their exclusive "Slow Motion" folding center hinge, which uses replaceable rubber bushings to deliver smooth, controlled folding action. This hinge design prevents the ramp from snapping closed unexpectedly — a safety detail that anyone who has wrestled with a bargain ramp can appreciate. The bushings are also replaceable, meaning the hinge can be serviced over time rather than requiring full ramp replacement.

Details That Make a Difference

Matrix Concepts clearly sweated the small stuff when engineering these ramps. Key features include:

• Welded non-slip aluminum center rungs for confident footing and tire traction during loading
• Replaceable rubber feet that grip smooth surfaces like concrete or asphalt
• Extra-strong tongue with a rubber under-pad to prevent sliding against the truck tailgate or trailer edge
• Customizable tongue graphics, a nod to the brand's deep roots in the race community

The M-Series: Composite Plastic Construction

For riders who prioritize weight savings and tailgate protection, Matrix Concepts also developed the M-Series composite ramps, such as the M8. These ramps feature an ABS glass-filled injection-molded plastic outer shell that weighs just around 11 lbs, while 6061-T6 aluminum reinforced inner rails maintain a 500+ lb load rating. The M-Series also features a center traction ribbed beam design for non-slip loading, a self-lubricating folding hinge, and a replaceable soft rubber bottom tongue plate — and because the outer shell is plastic, it won't scuff or scratch a painted truck bed. The M-Series is backed by a manufacturer's two-year limited warranty against bending or breaking.

Trusted by Top Riders and Teams

Matrix Concepts products are a staple in professional Supercross and Motocross pit environments. That race-proven pedigree translates directly to consumer products that are overbuilt by design, with replaceable wear components that extend the life of the ramp well beyond what budget alternatives offer. If you load your machine regularly — at the track, on the trail, or at the job site — a Matrix Concepts loading ramp is an investment built to last.
