Did you find this video helpful? What piece of equipment are you planning to load/unload from your truck bed?
Power wheelchair
Tool box
This video just saved me $120. I was going to buy a ramp from harbor freight, but instead was looking into cheaper options. Totally worth it thanks!
My suggestion would be get a couple of ratchet straps and cinch the ramp to the bumper to prevent any chance of the ramps sliding off
Where did you get the screw on end caps
I also just bought a snow blower, This is why I found your video, I agree the longer the baords the better. I was suprised you did not secure the ramps before unloading the snow blower. I drilled holes and use a rachet straps to secure the ramp to the bumper. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful got a set coming thank s
This was dope. Thanks
That was cool and fast!
Thank you! I use them all the time. 😁
Why did you flip the board? All you had to do was trace the hole on the top side?
how long of a 2x10 did you need in order to make a nice transition? Thanks
Can you please post the link for the brackets. Thx
I don't have any ramps either and just bought a stump grinder that weighs 280 lbs, I'm going to try what you did and save some money.
This will be perfect for that. I use these ramps all the time. Super handy.
Let me know how it goes. I have a 4 ft ramp I've used for a few years and it works ok. The problem is that the ramp is too steep. I'm going to try an 8 ft ramp for my 312lb Snapper riding mower. I'm a bit worried the boards won't hold the weight. The 4 ft held 312lbs w/o any problems.
Anyone ever told you, you like like Pablo Escobar!!
Only 1 other person. Sadly, I've cut my hair. RIP, Pablo.
Hahah okay sooo I’m not the only one that thought that
@0.29 did you say 2x10's? Just curious cause I'm thinking using 2x8x8, or maybe you meant 2x8x10 or....? just wanna to clarify. Thanks
my Ariens 26 same size SB only weighs 200lbs
Look at Bring It tailgates
It's essentially the same process - just pushing instead of pulling. :)

@@James-dt7ky Now I understand your request. I actually was a bit more nervous taking the blower out of the truck than I was loading it. I wanted to make sure I could guide down the heavy machine without it going to fast. Pushing the machine up was no trouble at all. The longer the board you get, the easier it will be as the in-cline will be less steep. Good luck!
@@Aprons.Overalls :-)
I start mine and put in low gear going backwards.

Where do you buy those metal brackets that you bolted on?
Check the video description. I have a link for the brackets on Amazon.
How long is the board ?
I have these for my truck but I'm trying to come up with a way to "shrink them up". Thought about cutting them in half, throwing some hinges on them but don't know how to keep them closed? Any ideas?
I wish I knew. You would need some heavy duty hinges for that. Let me know if you figure it out!
If you put the hinge on the bottom it will stay tight just fine
@@Aprons.Overalls heavy duty hinges might be able to take the pressure trying to pull them apart but I would not trust any mounting points not to split the wood the force is trying to pull those hinges apart done like that are tremendous a lot more than the weight of the vehicle on top. However if you add support to the ground at the hinges problem solved.
does this work loading it into the truck with a non running snowblower?
Absolutely. You simply push it up the ramps. Mine was not running when I loaded it.
@@Aprons.Overalls how much did you buy the blower for ?
@@daviddave8266 for a really good deal. Way before today's price inflation.
Is the handle for the snowblower extra $?
Hello, Chris. No, the handle was not extra money. I have a cover on my truck so I removed the handle for easier transport. The handles are actually heated, though it's hard to tell when wearing gloves. Hope this video was helpful.
How long was the board you used
he did say 2x10 I think he meant 2x8x10 foot long cause the kit is for 2x8 lumber
Use a sharp drill bit next time. Will be much easier
