Pet Loader XL 18″ Platform, Plastic, 4-Step
Pet Loader is easy to use and easy to store. More stable than a ramp, it is the safe way to put your dog into your car, SUV, van, truck, trailer, or camper. Pet Loader is light in weight and folds down to a mere 7-1/4″ for easy portability and storage. The Pet Loader Light is made of heavy duty plastic with a wider platform than our Mini or Ultra LIght models, making it ideal for the medium to large size dogs.

Pet Loader is keeping us ALL mobile! These steps are so well made, and the product design was very well thought out. They are sturdy. My aged girl does so well with them.

Our Danes weigh 135 and 155 pounds, but weight was not the main issue. We tried the steps under optimum conditions, on level ground. We were able to set up the steps…
So happy I could cry. I am so happy right now I could cry. I have an 8 month old English mastiff that weighs about 130 pounds or more and he absolutely refused to get in my SUV.
