Bed ramps

[Joe Dillard]

I have these.

I *think* mine are the same. I use them to load/unload my Side-By-Side or my Quad.

How long are your ramps?

I went with 9' folding ramps as they gave me the longest ramp that would still fit in the bed length wise with the tailgate closed.
Every 10' ramp I found were over 5' folded.

Black widow has some really long ones (12') for Harley and customs.

Yeah, I need longer ones. I’m borrowing this set from a friend.

If I need to buy my own, I’ll definitely go longer.

Absolutely makes sense. It's sort of a pain with the short box to have the long ramps I do - that can't fold. You can see the one sticking up........
But, I have them, I have two pairs, and then I have those aluminum I beam ramps I used for my antique engines loading and unload them because the edges of the beam would keep the wheels on the ramps.
And I bet your ramps are lighter than my wood ramps (my I beam ramps have 'em all beat but are only a few inches wide)

Nice thing about loading something like a snow blower - they're self-propelled. Start it and let it walk up the ramps.
I don't have anything other than my engines I'd need ramps for getting into my truck. Tires mounted on wheels, maybe - roll them up ramps into the truck - no lifting that way.

Yeah. I hand trucked a big piece of furniture up them last week, and it was a PITA. But it worked.

If you’re looking for bed ramps, I’d recommend checking out the ones that come with built-in chock for added stability. I've used a few, and honestly, having the chocks makes a huge difference in keeping the ramp in place while you load or unload. It's much safer, especially if you're loading heavy stuff.

I found that ramps made from solid steel or aluminum tend to last longer, and they’re pretty sturdy. Just make sure you’re getting one that fits your vehicle size and weight limit. Some ramps are designed for specific trucks or beds, so be sure to check the specs before buying.
