Super glides will not work on my telescopic Marathon ramp!

[Riverjet]

Not enough room between the two ramp sections. The glides hook up on the cross members when trying to extend or retract the ramp due to the bow in the glides.
The only way I can see to make them work is to rivet them solid so they stay perfectly flat on each cross member. We all know what happens to them when they are riveted solid don't we.

Most telescoping ramps I've seen have puckboard.

Another reason I went with cross tracks. They weld the rungs specific for the super glides.

When we designed our full lotus decks we also designed them around the superglides, I know the new owners of the company are still building them that way. Email us a photo of the ramp sections and we will see if we can offer you a solution. Info@holomis.com

Thanks but I used a similar glide to the supers but with out the grippy knipples. Will have to be careful when climbing up the ramp. Up the middle only.

My tele marathon ramp came with superglides on it, never had an issue with it, not sure whats wrong with yours.

We have superglides on our telescopic Marathon ramp too and they have worked just fine for the 4 years we have had it.

You must have an older Marathon telescoping ramp, as they changed a few years ago to compansate for the glide height, and the glides will be tight on the older ramps. The newer versions no problem.
