Whats a good size for a ramp? I'm building a new H trailer with removable ramps.The lenght is going to be four feet long so I know. what I'm looking is a good width. I was thinking of 12" but it looks nerrow what are you guys running?
Thanks,
Dave

My buddy Bird loads his 4x4 truck on back of a flat bed truck 4 feet off the ground with 2 pieces of 5ft 4in wide channel iron and he always makes it HA HA HA

so i say a foot is plenty

I dont use no stinkin ramp? i use a ditch to load an then just drive off no problems no lost ramps or strained back. I slip the truck down in 4 low b4 i get in the grass that way dont tear up any turf. :? Ramps now thats a concept! :mrgreen: If i came up on the ramps with too much speed could I clear the truck? that would b cool :shock:

I thought of something like that only have the trailer neal down to make loading a little less dependent on Geographic lay out, but in the end ramps won out.
