OK but not great
I bought these for an enclosed car hauler that we use as a kart racing trailer. Our karts are on lifts that have 8" tires that roll well. They simply didn't work well for my purposes.Pro's:1- cost - pretty dang affordable for what you get2- ease of installation - just easy3- light weight / safe - no real risk of smashing fingers.4- durable - I gather that they'll last a long time considering the material.Cons:1- The angle. The short hinge portion that attaches to the trailer is elevated to a height that greatly increases the angle of the ramp over that first short section.2- The curve - The ramp has a slight convex shape to it (which I'm sure increases it's strength) but it, again, increases the initial angle the tires travel when getting started on the ramp.I struggles to get my kart lifts up this ramp for a couple weekends and eventually pulled them off. I replaced this "ramp bridge" with a long stainless piano hinge and a strip of 3/4" plywood. The piano hinge and plywood eliminated the 2 negatives listed above by being flat and flush mounted with the existing ramp portion.These things probably work fantastic for applications where you're driving things under power with larger tires / skis but I do not recommend them at all if you plan to roll anything in and out of the trailer that has even moderately smaller tires or is somewhat heavy.

Good idea, needed item but had some issues
Good Idea and what I needed but seem a little flimsy I hope they hold up. Problems The first box, the screws were way to short, the second box had no hardware at all! Not good. Need to go out and find some Stainless steel screws now, hassle.Very difficult to install on my trailer, others may be easier. I bought a new expensive enclosed Tri sport trailer that should have come with something like this, I really needed these, I hope they hold up.

Nice addition to tilt bed trailer for loading
These edge glides are a nice addition to my tilt bed enclosed trailer the new 2.0 version works much better than the original, I was able to mount the new style hinge in far enough so that the trailer cover could close down the way it should and the edge glides are still close enough to the ground to make a smooth transition from the ground to the trailer bed without the carbides getting hung up or gouging the trailer edge. I was actually able to use the 2 piece set instead of the 3 piece because each piece is 24'' I was able to cut one in half and use 12'' on the outside edges and one 24'' piece in the center. I would recommend these to anyone loading a tilt bed trailer with snowmobiles with carbides.

NOT for Motorcycle.. but work good for "other"
NOT for Motorcycles, cracked one already trying to load my Adventure bike, works fine for everything else though.

Awesome product!
Easy to install. Well built. Looking forward to a sled season without chipping ice out of the gap to close my trailer!

Great idea
Helps with the transition between the ground and your trailer ramp. Also put a set over the gap between the ramp and trailer floor. They work pretty good but a bit overpriced. But I got one set as an open box special.

Great product
These work great. I no longer rip up the trailer edge when loading and unloading my snowmobile. I would highly recommend these to any snowmobiler.

Not wide enough for my trailer.
I like the concept, but I would really need 12" wide ones to load my lawn tractor into the trailer. 9" is really to short and steep.
