Milenco Trident Level 3-Step Levelling Ramps 4 / 11 / 17 cm, Pair with Carry Bag - for Motorhomes and Caravans, 1500 kg per Wheel

Milenco Trident Level is a pair of large levelling ramps for motorhomes and caravans. Each ramp has three steps of 4, 11 and 17 cm, so one set handles both a slight slope and a steep pitch. The ramp has a solid, closed base that does not sink into soft earth, grass or sand. The upper surface has a high-grip lattice tread and the leading edge is non-slip, so the ramp does not slide away as you drive on. Every step forms a pocket that holds the wheel in place without extra chocks. The manufacturer states a capacity of 1500 kg per wheel, which means a motorhome of up to 6000 kg or a caravan of up to 3000 kg. One ramp is about 81 cm long, 24.5 cm wide and 20 cm high and weighs 3.8 kg. The set contains two ramps and a carry bag.

• 2 ramps in the set, carry bag included

What levelling ramps are for

A motorhome or caravan standing at an angle is more than a matter of comfort. On a slope you sleep badly, fridge doors swing open or shut on their own, shower water runs the wrong way and an absorption fridge works less well when it is not level. Levelling ramps raise the wheels on the lower side of the vehicle so that the body stands level. You drive a wheel onto the ramp, stop on the right step and apply the handbrake. With three heights up to 17 cm, the Trident Level copes with pitches where lower ramps are not enough.

Solid base for soft ground

Many ramps have an open, ribbed underside. On tarmac or paving this does not matter, but on grass, wet soil or sand the ribs dig into the ground and the ramp gradually sinks. The Trident Level has a closed, solid base that spreads the wheel load over a larger area. This makes it a good choice for grass pitches, beach car parks and anywhere the ground is soft.

Three large steps instead of four

The Trident Level is based on the Milenco Quattro Level design, but it has three larger pockets instead of four smaller ones. A larger pocket is easier to hit with the wheel, especially when nobody is guiding you. The wheel finds its place faster and you are less likely to overshoot. The trade-off is lower precision: the difference between steps is 6 or 7 cm. If you want to level in finer increments, the four-step Quattro Level is the better choice.

How to choose the step

• park in the chosen spot and check the level with a spirit level, for example on the floor or the kitchen worktop
• estimate how much the lower wheels need to rise: a slight slope usually needs the 4 cm step, a medium one 11 cm and a steep one 17 cm
• place the ramps in front of or behind the wheels on the lower side, depending on whether you drive on forwards or in reverse
• if you level both across and along the vehicle, start with the larger slope
• after driving on, check the level again and move the ramp by one step if needed

How to drive on safely

• place the ramp straight in front of the wheel so that the wheel meets the middle of the ramp width
• drive on at low revs and in a low gear, using the torque of the engine
• avoid wheel spin on the ramp
• stop on the chosen step, apply the handbrake and engage a gear or position P
• ask someone outside to show you when the wheel reaches the right step

What to avoid

Do not stack the ramps or place them on bricks, stones or blocks, because they can shift or crack under load. Do not drive over the ramp and avoid wheel spin. Ignoring these rules may damage the vehicle or the ramp and may invalidate the warranty.

Who the Trident Level is for

• motorhomes up to 6000 kg
• caravans up to 3000 kg
• pitches on grass, soil and sand
• spots with a steep slope that need up to 17 cm of lift
• anyone who prefers to hit a step quickly rather than level in small increments
