The time may come when you want to load up your motorcycle, push a wheelbarrow, or carry some gold from your recent bank robbery on the bed o your truck, and when it does, a loading ramp will be an invaluable accessory for you to have at hand.

Personally I hate ramps which are just two strips of metal for the wheels. We decided to build a fence around our outer garden, concrete and all. I had the awesome task of mixing the cement with the water and sand, and that was quite ok. Toward the end, I also used a double wheeled wheelbarrow to push some of the stuff up a ramp. The ramp was one of those double ones for the wheels only, and I nearly castrated myself on them.

For this reason I would heartily recommend the Lund Aluminum Trifold Loading Ramp, which enables you to push stuff up and down your truck bed, without actually killing yourself. It’s also easier for less experienced people to help out, because you don’t need to be so precise.

Due to the larger surface area it touches the ground and the ramp, it will also bear more of a burden, up to 2,000 lbs to be more accurate, easily enough for a bike, or ATV even. Best of all, you can always take it with you, since you can fold it down to a 15″ wide strip and load it in the truck bed.

This strong and useful accessory comes in two sizes, and is also backed with a 3 year warranty. I strongly suggest going with these instead of the traditional two-bit, it may save you from some problems later on.
