Ramps

[kev7937]

Can any one recommend any ramps suitable for putting a pedestrian stumpy on the back of a tipper ?

 

They probably need to be about 3m long and fairly robust.

 

Thanks

I use some steel ifor williams for my rayco 1625, they will last forever, pricey but you only buy once.

I use 2 ladders with planks bolted to the rungs. 10 years with no probs and I dont have to worry about them getting nicked

Probably a better idea:001_smile:. Especially for a lightweight grinder,

cost buttons aswell.

I keep meaning to replace the planks with chequer plate as the wood gets heavy when wet.

I just use a couple of scaffold boards, Very cheap........

Thanks for the replies , but does anyone know how we'd stand legally if an accident happens while using home made ramps

 

I've used scaffold boards alot myself and have seen them slip off the truck a few times so I thought buying the proper kit may be a good idea.

you dont need 3metre ramps. Mine are about 2 metres (rampco) and if i'm loading it on my todd I use a small hand winch and a strop attached to the headboard of the truck. The winch is the type you might use to load a small boat onto a trailer, it's lightweight and only cost me about £20. It takes me about 2 minutes to set up and get it onto the truck. I'll take a pic of the set-up next time I take the grinder out.
