Ramps/ Ladders to load motorcycles

I know many of you ride and own ramps/ladders.
I will be loading both street and dirt bikes. No 4 wheelers.
My gen3 is not lifted. TRD Sports DCLB.

Do you have any suggestions?
Pics would be helpful as well.

 

The Cheap-o I bought from Cycle Gear works great. I think I paid $50-60 for it.

 

I used a ready ramp last week for my NightHawk 750 and worked like a charm!

 

Here's my nastyhawk at loading and unloading

 

hmm maybe its because of the way i push bikes but my old ramp often gets slided outwards. Can you just load the bike using 1 ramp? How tall are you?

 

The pic looks like easy to load, bed does not look so high. I got Asian height(lmao) so i may have hard time just using 1 ramp. How tall are you?

 

Are you strapping the ramp to the truck? I did with mine and it didn't move an inch

 

I'm about 5' 10'', and used a hill at both locations to aid in un/loading, and it was pretty easy. If you have flat ground where you are I'd say using a chair, cooler, or somekinda stool would help with pushing it up

 

Nah I dont. Do you strap it at the top where the ramp and bed contacts? Or ramp-ground to the vehicle?

 

I strapped it from 3/4 up the ramp (near the tail gate) to the trailer hitch. I have seen way too many "Loading Motorcycle Fails" on YouTube to not strap the ramp lol!

 

Ok true... I deliver bikes as side job since not many people have pickups here in Japan. So those tools may not be available all the time.

Im thinking about harbor freight ramp. Any other suggestions?

 

Haha Ive seen it and done it before but my lazy ass dont wanna do it! But i guess i might have to!

 

That would work but I'd be concerned with bed space with those, and the bike. Especially with a short bed. I loaded mine diagonally to keep as much weight as possible off the center of the tailgate to prevent deformation, and I expected that It might be a little long for the short box, so I went with the following use as a bed extender for additional security....

Of note which may be an issue is the ready ramp's fairly low 600 lb capacity, which could be a problem if you transport big cruisers

 

I'm sure its not needed 100% of the time but with my luck I'de end up breaking the fall of a 500lb bike...

 

This looks great! You can use as both ramp and bed extender right? I load mine diagonally as well to push bikes against side of bed to keep it steady.
Is this the one?

Yep that's the exact one I got! bear in mind it ships as pieces, the two side rails and the 22(ish) cross pieces which you have to screw together [read: long and tedious assembly lol]

 

Push? I always ride my bike and quad into and out of the bed. With the ramp secured of course. Now, my ramp is a wide tri-fold though.

 

The correct answer is a trailer!

But ramps are fine, I would definitely use two and get some that are easy to walk on-something flat, not bars running across like rungs.

The main thing is to strap the ramps down and find a good hill to get it as flat as possible.

 

I no longer need mine if anyone in Ft. Worth or Dallas is interested.

 

Make sure to strap it down good once you get it in.
