Portable Roll-A-Ramp
By Benjamen Johnson
If you need a portable or temporary ramp but don’t have the room to store it, maybe you should check out the Roll-A-Ramp, a lightweight and portable ramp system made from 6061 Anodized Aluminum that can be used in many applications. When you’re done with it you can just roll it up for easy storage.
Roll-A-Ramps come in 36″, 30″, and 26″ widths or in 12″ wide pairs. Each section or link connects to the next section with two bolts so you can add or subtract links to get the perfect-sized ramp. Depending on the configuration and how the weight is distributed they can support from 1,000 to 2,000 lbs. Special end links are tapered to make it easy to roll on and off the ramp, and all ramps have a built-in safety rail.
The fixed length ramps listed on Amazon and Northern Tool sites run somewhere between $500 and $1,600 depending on the width and length. You can also purchase custom-length ramps from a local dealer.

Only problem with this is that you can’t slide it under your atv/golf cart for transport. Oh… and the price tag.

With this price it isn’t meant for the homeowner.

The price tag is a huge negative for me. I’ve been looking for a way to get my motorcycles to the bed of my truck if I need to. The standard aluminum ramps won’t work for my Harley Davidson Ultra Glide (it weighs 850lbs), but at this price I can just buy a used open trailer and use that in emergencies.
