I wanted you to know that i have a hd dresser and it fits on the loader with minimal clearance between fender and tailgate. tailgate must be removed, 2 minutes, before using loader, but there is no chance of any cables breaking. I do have 8ft bed. hope you find what you want/need.

 

BEST RAMP???
The one at Exit 171, Northbound I35. Means I'm OFF the slab, and almost home.

For loading my scoot, I have an aluminum folding one. Picked up a pair for $15 at a grudge sale. Rewelded the one 'hinge strap', works better than new. Sold the good one for $45. Money for a ROAD TRIP!!!!

 

I like the look of the Big Boy ramp as well. The upper section has a curve to the angle so you won't hang up on the lip. I've never used one, but I think House of Thunder was (is?) a dealer for them.

 

+1 I found out the hard way while transporting an ATV that extended out onto the tailgate. Fortunately, the other cable held. When I went to the GM dealership to get a couple of spare cables I was told by the guy at the parts counter that this happens frequently.

 

I have a Ford F-250 long bed with a Rampage lift. The entire lift and my Heritage fit in the bed and the tailgate closes. The gate must come off to load and unload the bike, but that is a 30 second operation to do. I pull a tow trailer for RV and load the bike im the truck bed.... Love it

 

dgoodbmw - is the ramp still for sale & what part of Pa are you -

 

It is avail as i just removed it from my truck since i bought a new truck and got the short bed, loader is for sale and i will get a trailer. probably a toy hauler. Im near pgh along the pa tpike at ex 67. the price is $1800.00 and i would volunteer to help set it up if you needed. I had it fitted to the 8ft ford and it worked beyond description. PS have no fear about the condition of this unit, it is as new and functionally perfect.

 

i have the short bed - 5.5 - not sure how the fit would be & as i look at the site shows 2 rampage ramps - not sure which u have and how long the base is - i am interested in the rampage that the track the moves - rides up and onto the bed unit ...

 

the one i have will stick out over the end of the bed, maybe a 1/4 sheet of plywood to support the end overhanging, placed under the overhang part of loader, but close enough to center to allow turning without hitting loader. the one i have is as the demo shows, the frame stays put, the trolley moves in and out and when sufficiently in drops down onto the frame. Its as the demo shows. ps are you sure 5 1/2 feet or 6 1/2 feet. the loader will sit comfortably on the tailgate about 1/2 way to the end. Im thinking, without tailgate on overhand should be around 1 ft, just guessing but im pretty close. if you plan to leave tgate off, you should be ok. with tailgate on and unit in bed, your turning will be compromised some.

 

Mike, mine is as the top one on the demo tape, the pricey one.
