Fold-Out ATV Loading Ramp For Pickups
Anyone who needs to haul a 4-wheeler or garden tractor in the back of a pickup will be interested in this new fold-out loading ramp that the inventor says is safer and easier to use than anything on the market.
    The aluminum Tailgate Ramp replaces your tailgate and comes with a pair of large handles on back. It folds out in 4 sections. The last 2 sections are slightly narrower and thinner, so when you fold them up they fit inside the first 2 sections. No drilling is required. When folded, the ramp tailgate is just 4 in. thick.
     “It attaches to your pickup just like the original tailgate,” says Colt Sherrer, Grangeville, Idaho. “Other ramps on the market just lay on the tailgate and can slide off as you drive onto them. In fact, my dad came up with the idea when he tried to drive his 4-wheeler up onto a pickup and one of the ramps kicked out. The 4-wheeler ended up sideways on the ground, but luckily he didn’t get hurt. Our ramp can’t slip off, and it doesn’t take up any room in the pickup bed.
    “The handles make it easy to fold and unfold, and it comes with an ‘assist spring’ that attaches to the pickup bed rail, which helps with folding and unfolding.”
    The ramp has a capacity of 1,000 lbs. Sherrer also offers a steel ramp with a capacity of 1,250 lbs.
    Sherrer says he can custom-build the ramps to fit any pickup model. “We’ve built Tailgate Ramps for Dodge, Ford, Chevy, Nissan, and Toyota pickups. Let us know what you use your pickup for and we’ll help you decide which ramp will work best for you,” he adds.
    Prices start at $1,200 plus S&H.
