Sounds like a product brochure description of the Ohio Steel jobbies I've got.TCD : i'm thinking light, foldable, curved, and long enough to get it into my truck (4x4) without scraping lowers.
Those seem a little steep (angle wise). I went the poor man's way and bought treated (4) 1X12's and added non skid to the boards. Bought the ramp kit (alum. plates bolted to ends of board to sit on tailgate). Stack them on one side of bed when transporting. I think the total was $100. They're some hassle loading and unloading (heavy). I went 8' long but if I did it again I'd go 10'. I like those 10' ones on that site you linked, not bad for $500.
If you use both and have the motor running. Have the bike on one and you on the other. Walk it up slowly.Serial Thriller : Based on the pics, I think sportbiker929 and Chain have the same ramps as I do. I don't know how yall load your bikes, but IMO those ramps are too steep to load a bike into a fullsize truck by yourself on flat ground.
If anyone wants mine I'll give you a good deal on them.
.MF-10014 One 100"folding arched ramp for loading motorcycles on 2wd & 4x4 trucks
i just measured the tailgate at just under 3' (~35"). i'm not sure what the ground clearance or wheelbase of my bike is for that calculator. i guesstimated and it told be to get the 110" one.EatnAsphalt said:TCD, how tall of a vehicle are you loading into? The extra length will make it easier to load and unload. Ramp master has a calculator for figuring out what length you need.
