ATV ramps??? (aluminum)
Found this one online, just wanted to see if anyone has used it, or had any advice...

Looks like a decent deal, but I do know I dont want to skimp on safety.
The problem im finding, is finding one long enough for a lifted truck
Acording to the 2.2/H rule, I need one at least 90" long...
Ill only be loading a 300ex, and occasionally my Dad's lawn mower...

i personally like the alum. ramps... i have some but they r seperated into two ... the ones u list look like it is all one piece. i prefered mine b/c i could adjust them to fit my wheel width exactly and u can hook them to ur truck they came with a steel cable piece so they wont slide out when u go up.... my 4x4 sits a little high in the rear end too.. when i load mine i just back into a ditch or something to bring it down a little... it makes me a little less stressful at less of an angle just my 2 cents but i like the individual ramps better they r more versatile to me too
Mine came with the ratchet straps to ensure it won't slip off the tailgate...I see they're optional on these. I can't imagine using ramps without them. Not sure if they really help, but they help my piece of mind.

Oh yeah, ill deffinantly strap the ramps to the truck, I wouldnt take the chance there, and besides, with my luck, I KNOW it would move and id be taking a spill, and a trip to the ER
Thanks for the info guys!, I was just curious if they seemed like good quality.
Im not needing something super heavy duty, but you can never be too safe.
ramblinNrollin, the only reason id like a single piece ramp is that I dont like the open space in the middle, when loaded up in a TALL vehicle, kinda unsettling to me
As far as backing into a ditch, I dont have one anywhere near my house to help load it up, thats really why im needing the ramps, anywhere I go ride I wont really need the ramps too much, but loading it up, and pulling it back out at home I dont have any ditches or hills to help out

Anytime I go riding, I'm hauling 3 Polaris Sportsmans.... 2 400's and a 700. Got tired of having to use the bed of the truck to haul one, besides, with bumpers and oversize tires and wheel spacers, none of them FIT in a SWB truck!!!!>..
I modified my trailer to easily haul 3 oversized bikes without having to load "over the rail" or have to man-handle one of them.... I'd like to tell ya'll how I did it, but i'm in the middle of getting a trailer manufacturing company to buy my idea!!!..

I load my golf cart in the back of my truck using 84" aluminum ramps rated at 750-lbs each (non-folding, one ramp per side). I usually just back the truck to a curb or in a way to keep the tailgate as low as possible.
Mine look like the one's shown below. They came with tie-downs to keep them in place while loading.

That same company has a 89 inch set of ramps for 94 bucks.
I have a set of tri-fold from the same manufacturer, and they are great. Sturdy.
I forgot my lock and chain last week, on a scouting trip, so I placed my ramps on the ground and backed the rear tire of the truck over it to make sure the ramps would still be there when I got back. No bend or damage at all. STURDY!
My truck is not lifted, but all 4wd's are a bit high anyway. Just back up to a slight rise, to lift the bottom end of the ramps a bit. The issue with length is tipping over backwards while loading (the steeper, the worse the problem). I mitigate that a bit by kneeling on the seat with one leg, and leaning way forward. If the quad rolls over backwards, I can jump off easily. Backing up to a slight rise or a gravel pile makes a big difference.
Both the truck and the ATV are motorized so moving them afterwards is NOT a big deal.
Often the longer ramps are folded in the middle (lengthwise), so they take up a higher space under the quad. Still they are designed to stow, so don't buy anything you can't slide under the ATV, unless you have alternate storage site.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info Hank!
I actually ordered the ones in the link in the first post, well see how well they work when they get here(friday). They look sturdy, and should work just fine.
The only thing that stinks is at home when loading it up to go, or unloading when I get back, there is NO place to use a ditch/curb, anything really.

My house is on the flatest street possible, and a busy street, cant back up to a curb, and with the police presence(station down the road) you can really ride it down the street to load up on a side street.
i have almost the same ramps as PTGarcia posted. they just dont have as many "spines" i guess in them. they are rated at 750lbs each. I use them to load a 711lb (Dry) 2005 Arctic Cat 650 V2
