hey all, need to find a loading ramp to accomodate the 700lb sportsman. i will buy either aluminum or steel, whichever the best deal is. anyone know where online i can get a descent set for a good price. thanks

 

i use a set of 2"x10" wooden ramps for my 800 and it holds it fine. did you look on ebay.just look at the shipping cost where ever you buy so you dont get a big surprise price wise. there big so most likely cost a bit to ship. worse case if you cant find any, just buy a set of alum. ramp ends at walmart for the wooden ones for like 30 to $40.00 and your good to go like my cheap ones. just a thought.

 

I got alum folding ramps that hold perfectly - got them on ebay - I think total with shipping was under 100 bucks

 

After much searching for loading ramps online I found what I was looking for at discountramps.com .

They have a lot to choose from, and I'm very happy with the pair of Black Widow 108" folding aluminum ramps, rated at 1200 lb. capacity and cost $165 + S & H. See my photos.

 

I bought my from the same "discountramps.com".
I bought the 110" aluminum, folding, ARCHED, 14" width, ramps.

They are heavy duty about 40 lbs each. Cost in the $3xx. range.
They will support 1500lbs on each runner. total 3000lbs way enough
for our Sportsman, with rider. Yes I paid a little extra, but it was for
the safty factor, I weigh 350lbs and their is no real bending or bouncing
or wobble effect, they feel sturdy all the way, nice hard, stable etc. etc.

Another strong point is the ARC which allows for steady easy loading.
On my "old trifold" the angle was soo steep that once I came up
over the lip my quad would just fall into the back of the truck, one day
my quad slipped over the wheel well and slid hit the back rear window
of the truck and busted out the glass. (Had to have it replaced, thank
God the my car insurance co. paid for it, still cost me in the Deductable)
On another note is how many times, I fell backward with the steep
load almost several times falling backward, would NOT be a good day
for me if my Sportsman fell back on me. ENUFF OF THIS, I SAID!

With these soon as you feel the incline then the ARC breaks it into
a straight load, its amazing. What a difference, I feel so much better
and safer when I load with these ramps. - I high recommend them!
