Pet Loaders do not attach physically to the vehicle. The top step rests on any solid landing destination, whether that be a bumper, the back seat of a sedan, a pick-up truck bed, a step or any number of variations. Gravity and the weight of the platform itself does the rest. Skid resistant neoprene pads on the underside of the top platform and the bottom platform prevent sliding and protect against scratching.

Optional Wheels: An optional factory installed wheel kit allows you to move your Pet Loader almost anywhere without having to pick it up - working much like wheeled luggage. Does not affect performance ~ wheels face forward and are out of the way while the Pet Loader is in use.
