Avoid Inferior Products
Please be aware that there are competing and knock-off ramps being sold that could be confused with our product. The original Shore Ramp PWC-50 is sold here on www.shoreramp.com. We also sell on Amazon, Ebay, Wallmart, and elsewhere, but we always sell under the brand name Lakeside Recreation.
Occasionally, customers having problems with those other ramps contact us in confusion (and we actually answer the phone).
Some of the unfortunate problems people have reported with some of the other ramps include:
- Bad Winch
- Poor Side to Side Stiffness
- Missing Parts
- Missing Instructions
- Corroded / Failed Fasteners (wheels literally fell off)
We helped this customer who had our competitors ramp that failed.
Another copy-cat is the one with the blue rollers. The overall length is somewhat shorter with only 14 rollers (ours has 18). In their photos, the PWC is not even all the way out of the water! (and they have no extension available).
Pay careful attention to the capacity rating. Some competing ramps are only rated for 1000 lbs (ours is rated for 1200 lbs). Also check the overall length. Modern PWCs are bigger, heavier, and longer than some older ramp designs can accommodate.
Please be sure and check the specifications and customer reviews on those other ramps for yourself and compare to ours.
(If you already purchased a competing model and experience problems, we can probably help you out with a replacement winch or some real stainless hardware)
