Need advice on buying ramps :)

[JustPinItFoxxy]

Hey guys so I'm looking for advice on the best folding ramps out there. I've got a half ton and will be hauling my sled in the box. I'm interested in the easiest ramps for loading since I'll be doing this on my own most of the time!! I'm a small gal and won't want anything too heavy, tricky, or hazardous! lol
Oh and my sled has a 162" track.
Thanks so much!

I got a set of trifold aluminium ramps from Princess auto 77x50 then added superglides to them
There fairly light and easy to handle when folded

there usually about $230 I think mine cost about $130 on sale

if it is just going in the box......there is always a snow bank that works! in the spring it gets a little tuff but there will all ways be a few guys to help a lady with her sled lol!

And most favorarly from Alberta, Redneck capital oh and also has to be rural alberta to be a true redneck. Come on Joey you should know better..

While I'm sure there'll be helping hands sometimes, there won't always be when I'm loading up at home and there's no snow banks!
Really though, I'm just hoping to find ramps that aren't too steep and easy to handle. I want the sled to go in, not off the side lol.

 

[blastoff]

I would say to get at least a 7 ft ramp with some slidders on them so when you hit the ramp she slids up easy rather then the ramp going cocked eyed then you have a screw up

thanks wingwalker! do you find them to be steep or not too bad? I'll have to check them out

 

[RUDY]

7ft aren't bad i had 6 and that was alittle steep.Depends on box height,standard half ton be fine..

you could build a false floor for the box of your truck. then store a full width ramp under the false floor. Someone posted up his version of this set up on this site, but be damned if I can remember the thread name. His was pretty rudimentary but I'm sure thet if you took his Idea and expanded on it you could come up with something that will work for you

 

[my mod]

a guy here called wallyfromcalgary had a set for sale last spring, not sure if he sold them
Try to pm him

 

[TheLonelyIsland]

you people are...................

Ain't that the truth!

You were at the Avy course last November in Calgary I think.. Glad to see you back on the forums.

I think I have what Wingwalkers talking about, I still back up to a small snowbank with the ramp if I can.

standard half ton with 33" tires but I'm sure it won't make a big diff. Thanks eh!
