Pet Gear Travel Lite Ramp Review (2027)
In-depth review of the Pet Gear Travel Lite Ramp: 66-inch tri-fold design, supertraX removable traction mat, and a 13 lb carry weight.
Pet Gear Travel Lite Ramp with supertraX
A 66-inch tri-fold ramp with a removable, washable supertraX traction mat.
Our verdict
The Travel Lite is the portability pick among long ramps: 66 inches that tri-fold to trunk size at about 13 lb, with a traction mat you can remove and wash. Its rating class suits small to large dogs rather than giants, and the mat needs reseating after a wash, but for travel and RV duty it balances length, weight, and grip better than most.
What we like
- 66 in of incline in a tri-fold design with a built-in carry handle
- supertraX mat gives paw-pressure grip and removes for washing
- About 13 lb, light for its open length
- Rubberized bottom grippers help the base stay planted
What to watch out for
- Rating class tops out well below the heavy-duty ramps in this catalog
- The removable mat needs reseating after washing
- Narrower deck than the widest truck ramps
What owners report: Pet Gear Travel Lite Ramp with supertraX
Synthesized from recurring themes in long-term owner feedback.
Most praised
- A long incline folding into a tri-fold with a handle is easy to travel with
- The paw-pressure traction mat gives grip and lifts out for washing
- Rubberized grippers help the base stay planted on varied surfaces
Common complaints
- Its capacity stops well short of what the heavy-duty ramps offer giant breeds
- The removable mat needs reseating properly after each wash
- The deck is narrower than the widest truck ramps, so big dogs walk it carefully
Who it is for
Travelers and RV owners with small to large dogs who need a long ramp that stows compactly.
Tri-fold portability
Three panels fold the 66-inch deck down to a package that rides behind a seat or in a storage bay, and the built-in handle makes the roughly 13 lb carry a one-hand job. Among ramps over 60 inches, that combination of open length and packed convenience is the Travel Lite's real distinction.
The supertraX surface
Instead of glued tread, Pet Gear fits a supertraX mat that paws press into for purchase, tuned for confident footing on the way up and controlled footing on the way down. The mat removes for washing, which matters after muddy trailheads, though it must be seated flat again before the next use.
Fit and limits
Retailer specifications place this model in the 150 to 200 lb class, so it serves small to large dogs and stops short of giant breeds; confirm the current listing's figure for the 66-inch model before ordering. Rubberized bottom grippers help the base hold on pavement and decking.

Questions, answered
Which Travel Lite model is this?
The 66-inch model with the supertraX surface. The Travel Lite line spans several lengths from about 42 to 71 inches, and ratings differ by model, so match the length and the listing before buying.
Is the traction mat really washable?
Yes, it detaches from the deck for washing and drying, then reseats for use. Let it dry fully; a damp mat reseated in a folded ramp is a mildew invitation.
