It's a lot better deal than princess auto. They have a tri-fold on sale for $289.99. Regular price is $419.99. I don't know what the difference is. Look pretty similar to me.

zoso Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 is it easy to load a sled using these, do the fit in a 6.5 foot bed to store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Man Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I bought one last year and its easy to load, I find it easier to pull it off rather then reverse under power. It fits fine beside the sled on my 6 1/2ft box when sled is loaded and folds into 1/3 it's width. I throw a sheet of 3/8 plywood in the back to protect the bed. I'd pay full price for it, but as usual with crappy tire I'm sure it will go on sale soon. Edited November 28, 2020 by Poo Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it easier to use than the 'lock & roll' type ramps. No need to push or pull any dead weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blake G Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) That truck had an eight foot box. As for it being easy, I was always more comfortable using the ramp with a two stroke sled as opposed to a four stroke. Many times the ramp was merely coming along "just in case" I wasn't able to find a suitable snowbank for loading. It worked best to unload as in the video, and then move the truck (if I could find a suitable snowbank) for reloading after the ride.

Ox Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) I was watching some vids of ladder ramps the other day, and one brand that appears to be "name brand" (I don't recall what it was) appeared to have forked tangs for at the tailgate so that it doesn't come up on you when loading. My ramps don't have that - and we have eaten the back of my truck a few times over the last 20 years, but that has always been in a spot where the bottom of the ramp did not set level, and generally was actually on ice (even melt water the one time - boy my chum was pissed! LOL!) I have seen on some of them that there is a strap from the upper middle that will hook to your ball hitch to help keep it from jumping up on you. This could be added to your ramp as well. Blake - has that snowflap been clipped? Ramsomair - The devil is in the details. (post dates) . Edited November 28, 2020 by Ox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMSOMAIR Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Bahahahahaha. I even looked at the date and saw Nov 22 which was this past week. Did not see the 2018, good one! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The people that came to pick up the sled I sold loaded it easily into the back of their pickup using a trifold ramp that looks about the same. There's straps to hold it in place. They folded it up and put it on edge beside the sled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not by me, at least...but the Snowtrax boys put the first 300 miles on the machine, before I bought it from Byers Equipment in Atherley.

Pretty good ramp with an additional traction section that folds out so no spinning out on icy parking lots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
