some of you have mentioned loading ramps for wagons,
need to take 3ton kubota and 3 ton dumper etc. aluminum best but very expensive?
was thinking of having our fabricator knock some up for the occasional use it would get.
ideas or photos anyone for copies haha
gi
although these are cheap, maybe too cheap?

scratch that only 2 metres long, thats not long enough is it to keep below the 30% degree recommended max angle.

giles our ramps are 3m long and rated to 3700kg per pair. so light you can lift with one hand.paid about 700 + vat a couple of years ago. will see if can dig out the invoice and let you know the number. theyve been used nearly everyday for crushers, diggers, even twin drum rollers and are still immaculate (ish).
i wouldnt bother with steel ones; tried that once. took 2 blokes to lift each ramp into place....

We had a set made for us a couple of years back, cost £2k but they handle our 5 tonner with ease.
Alloy too.

giles, cant get to the invoice, accountant has all the stuff from that year. but if i remember right, they were from a company called access systems (?) in hertfordshire. try googling them? the ramps are actually made by a company called bavaria. simon

I brought two sets, a 2.4 and a 3m. I use the 3m for the digger/crusher and skiploader.
They are rated at 1.2 tonne the pair, but they test them to twice the capacity.
I brought them from a company called "the ramp people" at sed one year.
if you give them the height of the vehicle deck from the ground, they work out the length you need.
i guess you would need to spend around 1000 on a good set of ally ones . They also have a choice of security fittings on the end (hook chain etc) to stop the ramps sliding out from under you!

its that yours with the blue 7.5 ton hook lift? how do you find the hook lift? does it have a reduced capacity weight wise because of the extra equipment?
