Side by Side Tires chains on mesh ramp

[Skeeter Guy]

Got a new trailer with mesh ramp. Question is with tire chains on my side by side are they going to get stuck in the mesh and mangle up my ramp? Want to hear some experience with this before I try to load it and screw something up.

Yep!! The links will get caught in the mesh and "Ping" a bit. However, the mesh in my Uncles atv trailer (that skinny diamond shape stuff) hasn't been mangled so to speak. You can tell where the links have gotten stuck and all they've done is dome the mesh right at the catch point. If you're worried about it, put a plank of 1/4 inch green treated plywood over it and press on.

^^^^ This or some rubber belting/old snowmobile tracking.

An old rubber truck bed mat would do the trick as well. Cut it in strips and zip tie or hose clamp it to the ramp.

Makes a difference if your chains have the ice cleats made into them too.

Didn't think of that little gem. THAT would change the tune a bit. Good Catch!!
