I don't see how it could be a one man operation unless he has 3 arms....Two to steady the bike and one to operate the winch remote...LOL.

I load my Road King in my truck/trailer by myself with no troubles. The incline for the trailer is only about 2 feet up the ramp, so I just ride up. For the truck, I find a ditch or bank to make the ramp incline a little less steep and ride up.

The Rampage Lift uses a winch system (but also has a wheel chock to ensure stability).

My dealer has both a trailer and a pickup with a rampage lift, so that they don't have to drag a trailer if the weather is nice enough.

seen a homemade dolly wheeldock welded to a frame with some casters under it winched the whole mess right up and it was easer to strapp the bike to the dolly while it was on the ground.
