ramps

[Charlie Lyman]

does anyone have a ramp on their van that they use for their 175? My heavy beast is starting to wear out my back. Looking for ideas.

A friend had one like this, used it to unload the cimex, worked great.

That is what I was thinking about. I was looking at the motorcycle ramps and they were too narrow. $62 is a great price too.

I was looking at the spinlife website Connor, but I couldn't find what I was thinking about.

I went to Sears and bought a set of ramp ends for $25, went to lowes and got a 12 ft long 2x8 and cut it in 1/2 on a 45 degree angle. less than 40 bucks store easy could use a 2x6 and buy both at Lowes...

You would need to buy one of the longer units, they cost a bit more. Use an old piece of plywood to try different lengths with you van to find what suits you.

We have one of these we bough from Excellent Supply works great when we use it. We just don't use it often because we usually run two man crews.

if you have a harbor freight tools close to you then they have a great ramp. I bought one for my cimex and it works great. It is a 6" aluminum foldable ramp that is about 24" wide. here is a link. Getting a 20% off coupon available everywhere, and picking up in store would save. http://www.harborfreight.com/1200-lb-ca ... 94057.html

I have the same one that Shane posted, it's lightweight, easy to store away, and great for big bulky items like Dehu's too.

I have 2 - 7' 4" wide aluminum channels. Works great. Space accordingly. Check around for a metal supplier. I think I paid $120.00. You really a need 7' piece. Six foot is too short/too steep. Slide them into a piece of pvc bolted to your ceiling in the van.
