Loading Ramps

[joel]

Looking at getting a pair of loading ramps that will be used for lawn mower and snow blower.
Something that is 6 or 7 feet long do the height of the tailgate, anything shorter will make it to steep.
I've been loading manually and then last year I turned 65 and found them a bit on the heavy side and graduated to using the 6 foot folding table, but it still leaves about a 4 inch drop from the edge of the tailgate.
I'm wondering if anyone here uses them and if so any particular brand or type that works well, I think a solid ramp floor would be easier than the ladder type for what I'll be using them for.

I'm assuming you have searched the net. I have seen pictures of folding ramps that are ladder style with the steps close to each other that would work with a truck tailgate, the problem is I don't remember who the vendor is. Keep on hunting & good luck.

A solid ramp makes all the difference, especially when dealing with heavy bikes. I’ve tried a few, and a sturdy, wide ramp with a gentle incline is way safer and easier to use.

Got these ramps now, 84 x 10 total capacity is 1,000 lbs.
They work great, just need to make small blocks for ground side to make transition better for lawnmower and snowblower.
