Ramps. Just like pulling a car onto one of these trailers.


With a car, the wheel is within a few feet of the bumper. With a glider trailer, the wheel is in the middle of the trailer. So you will need a very long and gradual ramp to keep the back of the trailer from hitting the ground before it gets onto the ramp.
