Title: Which Van Ramp[
Post by: Ian Rochester on September 20, 2011, 04:12:38 pm

I need a portable ramp for the back of one of our vans, to get machinery in and out, I know there are lots out there just wondering which ones people use and how they find them.

As the guy says ebay ... the ones we use are same as ebay item 280738385754...

They are excellent we use them for Portable, p washers and litter vac units.
Only thing you need to be carefull with is as they are telescopic they have a lip on side of the ramp .... make sure your portable wheels are large enough or machine will 'bottom' on ramp sides! think that makes sense ;D ;D

We use quad bike ramps. Only good if you have large wheels on your machine though.
