Ramp for bed.

What kind of bed ramp do you use.
I need a new one for getting my motorcycle in and out easier. Also one that is wide enough to use for lawnmower and house hold stuff.

I have a 3" lift so my old ramp is just to steep and dangerous to use. I'd like to find one that is long enough to get things in easy and fold up to fit in the bed. This is where having the extra length oh the 6 foot helps.

 

I use a single wide one a bought from Tractor supply for $70... not super duty... holds 1000lbs...
pretty basic... I want to get some arched ones that are better suited for driving onto like lawn tractors, etc.

 

I have these:

 

How long are your Ramps? How long do they need to be to get a dirt bike in a stock SB Off road?

 

How do you get the bike up into the bed? Do you ride it up, or walk it up?

If walking, how do you prevent your feet from missing a rung?

 

Go on YouTube and search bike loading fails. Everything you don't want to do.
With a 3" lift you'll need long ramps to avoid high centering the lawnmower. You'll also want to secure them to your truck, I use ratcheting tiedowns.

 

I ride it up. I back it down while sitting on it. I specifically bought that style because you have plenty of support for your feet.

If you look close at the pic, there are tie down straps hooked to my bumper so the ramp doesn't move.

 

I probably would not use my ramp for anything other than a dirt bike. Since I bought the ramp, I purchased some ATV's. That really drove the decision for a good trailer so I bought an 8x12'. It hauls everything easily.

 

Isnt that a honda crf250l in the bed? Just wondering because you have a honda xr650l in your picture.

On subject i would prefer an atv one or wider ramp like hammer has. Makes it easier to ride it up, or walk it up.

 

I havn't looked that up but I'm sure there are quite a bit. You would think that instead of the person filming someone loading the truck that they would help them instead.

 

Same. Mine still works great after 7 years.

 

I have some curved aluminium ones I bought from Home Depot. $130 maybe? Worked great to load a cub cadet that was heavy enough I was worried about the tailgate holding it so I took the tailgate off. Just got the best ones they had.

 

Yes. I own the CRF250L. I want another 650. Trying to decide if I want it or a Husky, KTM, etc.

 

I use this.
