Default Loading Ramp

I'm looking for an 8' or 9' loading ramp to get my FL in the back of my truck. Should be 1200-1500# capacity. Would also be willing to "rent" it for a few weeks in May/June. I'm located in SW Florida.

Thanks.

This is the one you want:

Use their sizing chart to confirm length you will need for your truck. Money very well spent, I wish I bought one earlier. This plus a Condor wheel chock in the bed of the truck makes loading and unloading a one man job. Good luck.

Thanks Architect. I know that's the one I want. Just not looking to spend $300+ for something I'll use a few times. I can take it to the dealer and they'll load/unload with a lift for free, just trying to save a few hours of driving back and forth. I already have the Condor.

I thought the same thing for years, then I broke down and bought it. I use it ALL the time. Since it makes loading the bike in the truck so easy, I do that more often with my vintage bikes. I also have used it to get my snow blower into the truck to bring it to my mother's after a really bad blizzard a couple of years ago. And during the winter I leave it setup to my deck so I can get the same snow blower on the deck when it snows. For the amount of times I have used it, I could have paid 3x as much and still be way ahead. Just my thoughts, I know the price is a little steep, but damn it is a good piece of equipment to have at the house. And in aluminum, I expect to have it for the rest of my life.

PS I also used it to get the bike in the living room for Christmas one year, different story though.

Thanks. I have a set of lightweight aluminum ramps that I use for the dirt scooters. They just won't hold the weight of the Harley. I also have a toy hauler that I usually use to transport the bike; but won't be using that on this trip. I think my son came up with a way to use the toy hauler to load it in the back of the truck, so I'm going to try that out if I can't find a ramp alternative. Thanks for the input.
