ATV Ramps

Postby Mr. Miyagi » Fri Mar 31, 2006 11:13 am

Now that I have a 3/4 ton 4x4 the 6' ATV ramps I use for loading my quad into the back of my truck are not long enough. Any suggestions.... Should I go with;

folding ramps http://www.atvramps.com/SF-9012.htm

or.... dual runner ramps http://www.atvramps.com/dual_ramps.htm
If dual runner ramps..... Arched or straight?

I've seen the folding ones in action and works well. When folded both will fix under the quad.

What's wrong with your existing ramps? 6' should be long enough, that's what I'm using and our trucks have to be similar in height.

Allegedly....still haven't seen it yet. Miyagi I have a set of Oxlite "E" ramps , here's a "How to Pick" page thay have, http://www.oxlite.com/choosing.htm

The nice thing about a set of ramps is they are width adjustable so you can use it for your quad, lawnmower, or Lark

I'm wondering if it's cuz I have an 8' bed?

I set my 6' ramps up and rode my quad onto the ramps..... Got off the quad and I can literally push my quad over. I'm right at the balancing point (not good)..... I need longer ones....I'll use the 6' ramps for my snowmobile/atv trailer.

Just measured.... 39". So, 39" x 2.2 = almost 86". The ramps I want are 89" and 90"..... That should work.

BTW Mr. Bill, looks like you need longer ramps.... based on that photo, looks awefully steep.....

Don't forget the $40. for shipping.... :(

BTW - I can get a tool box and quad in the bed of my truck and still close the tailgate.... Life is good.

Still have the stock tires. I'm guessing you have a shorter bed??
