i needed a long, wide ramp of some kind b/c i was tired of hopping up into the truck beside the bike & b/c i needed some way to get my new, big, heavy generator into the back of my truck by myself. i looked hi & lo & found what i wanted from jc whitney, of all places. it is a pair of aluminum ramps that fold out like clamshells to about 7.5'. they fold down to just over 1/2 that length & almost flat, so getting them into the truck is easy. i can roll the generator up & down them, & when i load the bike i walk up 1 & push the bike up the other. it's a sweet setup. it cost about $140. only drawback is that the folding mechanism can be a little awkward to maneuver, & the aluminum has some sharp edges, so i wear leather gloves. quality so far has been excellent. no risk of busting it while loading in front of my buddies, no need to jack with a step or milk crate (i put my foot thru 1 once), it's an easy roll up & down the ramp, easy storage in the truck, & the price was right. i'd buy it again.
