WHO MAKES THE BEST LOADING RAMPS. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR OPINIONS.

 

Fury, I bought the tri-fold steel ramps from Cabela's for $90.00. They're rated to 1500lbs. I believe. So far they've worked very well.

I have two of the arched ones that are 72” long by 12” wide and I love them. They do not bend but they fit perfect under my quad and I can still close the tail gate on my Toyota Tacoma. They are made out of aluminum and are very light. I think they were about $90 each when I bot them last year.

I think your local lumber yard makes the best. Get some spruce staging planks, add a set of end caps from Walmart, and your ready to go.

The metal or aluminum ramps are great. They are very stury and pretty much fool proof. But for me, the wood works great. Its about $20 and if someone steals them, oh well.

I purchased my ramps from Sears Hardware.
They are steel arched and fold in half and rated at 2,000lb capacity. (1,000lbs. each)
I paid $120 for them. They aren't the cheapest around, but they are heavy duty and in my opinion the best and "safest" ramps I've ever used.

 

I agree with lurch. While the aluminum ramps are great, a set of 2x12's with aluminum end caps work well too. End caps run 20-25 $. 2x's will set you back 15 or so. Cut 'em to the size that fits in your truck with the gate up, paint your name on the bottom and you're good to go. Cheep, functional and not pretty enough to steal.

 

I have a Floe tri-fold aluminum ramp which I wouldn't recommend to anyone. It has sharp rails on the sides that cut into the tires.

 

I have used both the wood 2x12 and the aluminum arched ramps. I used the 2x12's until I slid off of them two or three times and then I went to the aluminum. The aluminum seem much safer to me.

I'm with Pensy on this one, I favor the tri-fold ramps. No need in worrying about having it lined up just right. They are easy to handle and slide up under the atv nicely once loaded.
