Looking at a new Loading ramp for use on my Mazda Bounty. What do you use?

I have made one up out of timber and steel but it is heavy and a pain in the arse to move around.

was thinking about one of these (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Parts-accessories/Other/auction-163234435.htm), but they are pricy. I have tried one of these (http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Parts-accessories/Other/auction-163417895.htm) and it nearly ended in tears. Any one got any other suggestions that dont cost the earth.

i use a laminated wooden plank similar to a scafold plank, it was free, and there is no way that sucker would ever break as they are rated to hold an obscence amount of weight.

I've been looking at getting one for my club and have seen that.. but 200kg load capacity will in no way cut it! Wouldn't even hold my bike up, let alone some of the other guys with 300-400kg bikes!

I use a tanilised plank of board...its just over an inch thick, you can jump on it and get good height too:shutup:

I bought a Fly folding runway ramp (http://www.whites.co.nz/products/fly/629.aspx), bit expensive compared to some but I reckon it was well worth it

I used a Fly non folding ramp for several years.Light, cheap ($79 from local Kwaka dealer) and nice high sides to minimise disasters. Happily supported my 'Berg and me (about 200kg all up:o) on the occasions I was brave enough to ride the bike onto the trailer. Didn't bend or protest at all.

Those look more like what I'm after for my peeps.. but still not quite there.. a 109R weighs to much for that :(
