Default Ultimate Power Ramp

Looking for anyone that has any experience with or seen this ramp used with a touring model in a full size short bed truck. It is made in the Netherlands by Neo-Dyne and there is one US distributor in Ohio. Seems to be well made and I've seen a few YouTube videos but my concern is the weight distribution in a short bed. There is no weight on the tailgate. There are more videos available if you search for Neo-dyne.

you dont want weight on the tailgate, theyre only rated for a couple hundred pounds anyway. there are a bunch of different lifts on the market, why are you locked in on this one?

Cut a piece of 3/4 plywood the size of the bed. The weight should be distributed evenly.

i still wouldnt put that much weight on the tailgate. my golf cart weighs less than a touring hd and that was great until i hit a hole and the gate folded.

You have a valid point. So in that case I would recommend him buying/renting a trailer.

i thought he said the loader doesnt put any weight on the gate? i feel like all the weight on the bed floor would be where youd want it?

It doesn't look like there would be a lot weight on the tailgate with the base being attached to the bed.

You can buy tailgate bars that increase the weight Capacity to over 1000 lbs. I have a set I had for a Ram 1500

Interesting for a single use ramp. There was a recent thread on ramps and this Load All ramp was mentioned, and says the product doesn't put load on the tailgate. It's multipurpose and about the same price.
