Review on ๐Ÿถ Load-A-Pup 14x20in Pet-Loading Platform - Optimal for a Great Day by Devin Pishey

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, light weight, easy to use but be aware of the 200lb limit

We fitted this to the rear of our 2017 Bennington 21SX pontoon boat using standard ladder rungs and it fits perfectly. We had to trim the rubber hinges on the ladder to get it to fit snugly, but when that's done it sits perfectly on the ladder and the bracket, adjusted to the width of your rung, fits very well. If your bracket is properly fitted to the pole you will not need a leash unless the dog is putting all of their weight on one side of the ladder, we just use a leash. People can still get on the boat as long as you have an extended ladder that gives them a step way below where you place the dog platform and it's pretty strong so anyone under 200 pounds can use it as a step , when approaching the stairs instead of farther. I'm 220 pounds, tried it once and found I bent the frame slightly. So when they say 200 pounds max load, that means you have to get close to the ladder, not the end. Otherwise, as a lightweight and easy-to-use alternative to heavy dog ramps with floats underneath or those big floating ladder pins, this little platform is great value and works well, making it a good alternative to bulkier items.
