Post flatbed load photos here V2.0

Is there something wrong with wanting to do something properly? LOL I just want a set of ramps! How about unloading? I guess I'd have to hope a ditch is around.

Yeah I've seen that video a few times. That could have gone better.

 

Are you the owner of that trailer? And do you want something permanent, or something portable? That's how mine are. I can get you better pictures if you want them. They either travel upright as shown, or they fold onto my beaver so the extra 5 feet of beaver is flat deck space.

When I was speccing it out I looked at the trailers in the lot and they had a dead leg at the back. I assumed that's what I was getting. It definately needs something back there, quickest/cheapest would be one trailer jack per side. To keep the ramps from folding up as shown in the video.

If you want portable I'm not much help.

 

I would add throw in a set of wheel chocks, if you don't already. Both to secure the trailer, or to hold the vehicle as you secure it. They are one of those things that get more use than you think.

 

Yes I own the trailer, that was a personal load for myself.

I could go for something like what you have, like most equipment trailers. It would save having to find a place to store portable ramps. I could retrofit some onto the trailer, but when I was looking months ago I wasn't really finding a source for them. Maybe I'll start looking a little harder.

Plus with flat portables I would still need some kind of support for the rear during loading.

 

If you have a torch/plasma cutter or grinder with cutoff wheels, and have or have access to a welder, a set of ramps are easy to make.

 

I wish I had a picture, so bear with me.

If you want flat portables, build your third leg on a hinge, in the middle or bottom third of your ramp. The ones I've seen/used looked like a load leveler for a stepdeck. There was a steel bracket that slipped on the end of the trailer, into stake pockets, carried in the side box. Pull the ramps off the deck, unfold the third leg, place them onto the metal brackets, load and go. Very neat, didn't take up much room.

 

Here's the ramps on my new 24' tractor hauling trailer. They fold flat so you have 24' of flat deck or you can stand them up.

 

Looks good @MJ1657 Even for a narrow front end.

 

I mainly got it because I like to go to plow days or drag a plow to a threshing show. Anyone that's been around a moldboard plow knows what it's like to back one up. Just about impossible. With these ramps I can spin one around and let it roll off. I can also haul two tractors at once now.

 

I built the removeable wood sides. Kind of handy at times.
