bed ramp recommendations?

[crushNchowda]

Anyone have any recommendations where to get a good portable ramp to load ATV/snowblower/lawnmower etc. into the bed of these trucks?

I borrowed a collapsible AL ramp from my buddy who got it at Harbor freight, it is nice and portable and lightweight, but a little short/steep to get something like an ATV or riding mower up (ATV would probably be doable mower not so much)??

 

Definitely want it to be able to be permanently carried around in the bed of my truck so light weight and portability are important.

I have a set of arched ramps by Reese. Easily load a lawn mower in the back of a stock height pickup. On my 02 with 10 inches of lift and 35's I could still load my 4wheelers in the bed with them. I believe they cost around $70-100 and are aluminum and pretty light for being rated for 1200 pounds. Believe I picked them up at Wal Mart or Lowes

I purchased a set of ramps for my motorcycle from www.discountramps.com and they work well for everything I need. 3 section bi fold, 38" wide, aluminum, very light weight. I think they were called big boy folding 10' arched ramp

I believe the OP was wanting a longer ramp so as to reduce the angle/steepness of the ramp. Many ramps are as short as 6' which can make for a steep angle. Here are some ramps which are much longer (but costlier and heavier and more difficult to store in a truck bed - but search around on the Web):

For shorter ramps you need to back the rear of the truck down in a ditch, or facing down on a steep driveway - anything that gets the rear of the bed down closer to the ground - and still lets you have accessible room to drive up on the ramps.

Thanks for the replies, ended up settling on this setup from that discount ramps site: http://www.discountramps.com/90_lawn_tractor_ramps/p/SF-9012-2A/

 

I like how they fold in 1/2 taking up very little room in the bed and have those carrying handles. At 7.5' I think that should give me the angle needed to get a riding mower up into the bed from flat ground like my driveway, i used a 5'9" ramp borrowed from my buddy to load a snowblower, it worked but not ideal. I think the extra 1.75' should be enough to load a mower without issue

I am also looking for some ramps but if I were in the states, I'd get these probably.
