They are made by Race Ramps - Car and Auto Ramps for Service, Loading and Display - Race Ramps
They can even make custom ramps if needed
Guys, if you are going to use your trailer a lot, or just don't want to deal with the heavy ramps, you need to check these things out. A little spendy, but I got to see them in action recently, and if I had an enclosed trailer or one low enough to use wedge ramps, these would be a serious contender.
@V-SHOT, you agree?

If they made a set for my type of trailer, I would already have them...for sure!!!!! Love 'em!!
Thought you were talking trailers to be pulled by the Slingshot!

I got a set of them, all I need is that someone donates a nice trailer 
I have a local trailer fabricator that is making me a dual axle trailer 7 x 14 with a dove tail. He is targeting 1700 pounds total weight by only making it to be able to carry 2000 pounds.
We are trying to keep the weight down so I can pull it with our Wrangler.
Estimated price at the point is 2200.00.

I would greatly love to hear of the progress and if he's able to produce more (if you're ahppy with the results). Keep us updated please

I will keep you updated. He is doing the design on a CNC computer, with measurements of the sling I gave him, so it can be reproduced.

Please keep us updated, would make a long trip to pick up. Or maybe they could arrange for delivery.
So 7x14 fits? Is the width really tight? What if you have non-oem wheels?
Thanks for that share @Publius!
Yes, it is tight. About 2 inches or less of clearance on each side. I thought about getting a nylon strip to put on the side to keep from messing up the wheels if I got too close. Just haven't found anything yet. I didn't want to get an extended ramp because I hear the weight makes it difficult for one person to handle so I wound up getting the race ramps which are super light and work great. See picture. My goal was to have a dual purpose trailer so that was another reason for going with the tandem axle with 5k capacity.
I'm interested as well @Slingrazor!
Looking for most compact, but I'm worried if and when I get aftermarket wheels (looking eventually for 20s all around with a 345 in the back).
We've got a Volvo xc90, so it should pull that just fine...

One other thing I would add that you should consider if you are purchasing a trailer - brakes! Mine has electric brakes which work great. All tandem axle trailers will have brakes because of their tow capacity. But if you go with a single axle you may not have brakes since the tow capacity is like 1750lbs. In all you are towing something like 3000 lbs. If you don't have a full size pick up you are really going to feel that trailer behind you if it is brakeless. I used to tow my 3000 Lbs boat and trailer with no brakes using a GMC Acadia and man stopping wasn't fun.
Most states require brakes on trailers where the GVW is 3000 pounds or more. Carrying a SlingShot it will be difficult to stay under this 3000 pound limit.
State by State regulations;
Is there anybody on the forum with an aluminum open trailer and a Sling with aftermarket wheels? I've got a question about clearance. Don't want to hi-jack this thread, so PM me via "Conversations". Thanks!

Manual downshift on an automatic transmission helps, but that's a major reason I love my standard shift 2500HD.
Stealth 24' with inner beaver tail. 6 1/2' inside height. Fits 2 Slings (first one backwards with rear tire in V).
All aluminum. About $9500. Worth it, we use it all the time (for work obviously). Used it to get to Maggie valley last year.
Probably going to haul one of @Turboslings Slings down again next year.
If you live within driving range of a Big Tex Trailer dealer, Big Tex makes the 60CH Tandem Axle Car Hauler in 14 ft and 16 ft lengths with electric brakes on one axle and weights under 1500 lbs. A dealer not too far from me has the 16ft version staring at $1999. The 70CH series comes in 12, 14, 16, 18 & 20 ft lengths and weighs from 1460 - 2060 lbs. The same dealer has the 70CH series starting around a little over $2k up, depending on options. Both models come standard with wooden decks.Both series are listed as 83" wide, which I assume is the bed width inside the wheels/fenders. Here's the link to their car haulers - Auto/Motorcycle Trailers | Big Tex Trailers. Either series in the 14 or 16 ft size should be towable for must vehicles with a combined weight under 3500 lbs for Slingshot and trailer. My problem is just finding space to store one in the garage (my HOA frowns on trailers being visible from the street). Big Tex reports having 400+ dealers across the USA, Canada and even some international dealers.
I bought my trailer from Big Tex - been doing business with em for years. Really good outfit to deal with!!
We seem to repeat this thread over and over. And we all know that the best trailer is the Sloan Kwikload... 
lol
Uh oh... Rab is going to MERGE threads! 
Not... Thanks for the shares @BKL and @Bill Martin! I'll take a look at Big Tex...
Anybody got discounts with them???
