Contraption to raise co-pilots into RTT's

I apologize if you came here thinking I'd made one. Looking to see if someone else has made something ingenious yet. My co-pilot is only 60 pounds and probably wouldn't be too difficult to put a harness on him and haul him up by the handle but I think it'd be a cool summer project to attempt a Wile E Coyote approach to it.

 

If a moderator drops by this, can you move it to Pets.

 

Subbing for answers.

 

Hit the gym and pick the dog up!

In all seriousness, i’ve seen it done two ways.

A ramp To the hood, carpetting and matting to the large window.

Or a ramp From the ground to the main entrance.

Personally i’d pick my dog up and carry her in. Granted shes 40lbs and not a 100lb fat lab. I’m the fat one shes lean mean.

 

I know @EatSleepTacos made a plataform for his dog Tony. Maybe he can share since he has an ACLB like you

 

i just taught her to go up the ladder:


Edit. Angle the ladder so its kinda like steps, have him or her "go upstairs"

done

 

I had a buddy do this and the ldder broke on him as he was putting it at to much of an angle. Granted he forgot to adjust it after a few to many beverages and the ladder folded In on itself.

 

my dutchie weighs like 60lbs, so it she isnt heavy enough to break it in my opinion. the most difficult part is the final "step" from the the top of the ladder to the inside of the rtt. My wife is up there first then doggo then i

 

I usually use the bend at the knees & grab with 2 arms technique. Hasnt failed yet
