Product FAQ - Difference between a Single Axle and Dual Axle Levelling Ramp?

Choosing the correct levelling ramp depends on whether your caravan has a single axle or dual (tandem) axle setup.

Single Axle Levelling Ramps

Single axle levelling ramps are designed for caravans and trailers with one axle and one wheel on each side.

Features:

• Longer and wider design for improved stability.
• Typically feature a 3-stage or multi-stage levelling system, allowing you to choose different height increments.
• Provides a larger contact area to support the weight of the caravan.
• Makes it easier to level the caravan from side to side on uneven ground.

Best suited for:

• Single axle caravans
• Camper trailers
• Pop-top caravans
• Small trailers

Dual Axle (Tandem) Levelling Ramps

Dual axle levelling ramps are designed specifically for caravans with two axles (four wheels).

Features:

• Shorter design to fit between the closely spaced tandem wheels.
• Supports both wheels as the caravan climbs the ramp, helping distribute the load evenly across both axles.
• Reduces stress on the suspension and tyres during levelling.
• Designed to make levelling easier without placing excessive strain on either axle.

Best suited for:

• Tandem axle caravans
• Large touring caravans
• Heavy off-road caravans

Why Can't I Use a Single Axle Ramp on a Dual Axle Caravan?

A standard single axle ramp is generally too long for the limited space between tandem wheels. Using the wrong style of ramp can make levelling difficult and may place unnecessary stress on the tyres and suspension.

For the safest and easiest setup, always use a levelling ramp designed for your caravan's axle configuration.

Tip: Before purchasing a levelling ramp, confirm whether your caravan has a single axle or dual (tandem) axle to ensure compatibility.
