A pivotable clamp for securing a trailer ramp in a stowed position on the surface of a dovetail-type trailer is provided. The trailer and ramp on which the clamp is used are of the type having a surface constructed of spaced apart cross-pieces. The clamp is comprised of an arm member and a pivot bar member. The arm member features a handled shaft member with a claw member at its end for engaging the edge of a crosspiece of the trailer surface. The arm member is rotatably received within a strap member of the pivot bar member. A spring and a tightening nut with handles are mounted on the shaft member for varying the degree of tightness with which the claw member engages the crosspiece. The pivot bar member allows the clamp to be swung in and out of position.
