    I used the same style ramps for my yamaha blaster. That of course is much lighter than your quad. I use the same ramps now for my crf250r dirt bike. They work good for lighter things but a heavier quad you may want to look into a steel or aluminum set. Unless you want to reinforce the hell out of the wood, but in that case they are going to way a ton and still not be as strong. Try looking at harbor freight tools. They usually have good sales on ramps.

    I have folding ramps that I've used to for an EX. Once loaded, just fold the ramps and slide them under the quad. Very convenient.

    Oh, I didn't realize they would be narrow enough to go between the wheels. They are only 22" when folded and the width between tires is 27". That will work perfectly.

    Never had a pickup truck so I still have a little learning curve with this stuff. hahahaha - not rocket science.......

    Thanks.

    i've been using the lowes wooden ones forever for my motorcycles. 400+ lbs not including me. One thing that makes it REAL easy when i'm solo is parking my truck in the street with the back tires up against my curb. makes the ramp a really gradual incline. Just an FYI that makes it easier for those who hadn't thought of it

    My only advice with the wooden ramps is, put some grip tape on them. They get real slippery when even just a little wet. i dumped my Triumph off the ramps loading it in to my Ranger. That was an expensive lesson.
