I was thinking (dangerous I know) but wonder if something like this would work? Three could be easily made for around $30 to $40, less if you have some good 2 bys.

Made from pine 2" x 12"s they can be taller than 12" if need be; and with the hinge, they fold up. Add rubber on top to eliminate slippery. Metal lath could also be used.

The trailer would have to be chocked or hooked up to prevent rolling, but if it doesn't roll, the vertical board should not move.

LOL, WW you're a funny guy!


Dennis, look for RhinoRamps on Amazon. They slide into each other for storage. When next to each other under the ramp, they are 2' wide and easy to hit with the bike.

David, can you tell what model you bought. I'm old and confused and there is many to choose from. Most seem to be only 6 1/2" high. I like that they fit inside each other, handy. And, lighter than my 2 by idea.

Although, I'm thinking 15" lift with about 30" running length would really reduce the angle when / where needed... and might eliminate the need for cranking up the tongue jack. This gets old, quickly.

I measure what it would take to make one like my little drawing (post #41) the run would have to be nearly 4 feet long to get a 12" rise, if the desire is to keep the same angle of the ramp. But it could be taller if needed; requiring an even longer run.

To be sure it doesn't slide or pull away from the ramp, there needs to be a bar to tie the two pieces together and stablize them. One on each ramp would probably work, but I would like to have one on each side.

It would take a minimum of two ramps even if you only load one bike, IMO.

I got model 11909 Rhino Ramps which provide 8.5" lift (36" long and 12" wide) - $40 on Amazon. I believe they have some with a 9.5" lift too. They are pretty light, and can be tossed in the bed of the pickup if you don't have room in your garage. I did look at building my own from wood, but for the price/effort/weight/size, this just seemed a better deal. And they are actually ramps you can drive 12,000# onto.

Thanks Dave... Something to be said for light and already built; the price isn't bad
