we have a concrete step the ramp must rest on. Would the lip work better on concrete than the regular 6 foot ramp you sell. How deep is the lip.

I do not see how much weight they hold. What is the most weight the ramp will support?

I have 39" to my truck deck, the 4 step is very slightly just too small but works ok for me, when the steps are down the treads are slightly off level but I'm used to it now. I looked at the additional step which you would probably need, but decided against it, as said I manage fine, and the steps are still super stable even being off level. The step bracket can be face mounted or flat deck mounted as mine are, they come with a fair bit of fixing hardware, great product.

It seems like it would stand up to the elements. It's a plastic/rubber type material. 6 steps may be pushing it for length. Unfolded the ramp is ~6ft(70 inches) tall.

The ramps come with a large, curved, lip (about 3" long and the full width of each ramp) that would rest on the tail gate. I use mine every day for getting my equipment out of my construction trailer and the ramps never move. Depending on the height of your truck and the amount of force/momentum of what you are loading, there shouldn't be much movement there either.

I went 20" deep. I made a 25 foot square foot pad of concrete and made a square (part of the pad) at the edge of the concrete pad. The square is 12" × 12" . You can get a cardboard concrete tube from Lowes or Home Depot in different diameters. I would use at least a 12" diameter if doing it this way and go 20" deep. Hope this helps!!

While this ramp has a lip that is placed over a stair edge or threshold, and could be placed at the edge of your pickup truck bed, I suggest you call the manufacturer directly 800-554-7267 and ask this question. This product by the manufacturer appears more appropriate for your application http://www.pviramps.com/products/product-details/id/4

This works great on my driveway up to 3 inches if it is a light snow. On heavy snow, it is hard to push. I do not have sidewalks so I can not help you on that question.

The answers given here are mostly correct. Allow foot of ramp length for every 2-3 inches of height to the area that the ramp will rest on in the vehicle, be it the bumper or the floor of you vehicle. The longer the ramp the easier it will be to drive or push someone up on. Be aware that for most people 1 foot of length to 3 inches of height is too steep and can be a struggle not only getting in but also out. This has to be balanced with the room available for storage of the folded ramp (half the over all ramp length) and the room that is available to use the ramp in, whether at your home or in a parking lot.

The rise depends on how steep you slant it - left on its own, it's a flat piece of metal . I would say take a tape measure and place one end at the top of the steps, and then pull it down to the ground and then out, so the tape measure is at an angle you think you can easily manage. That will tell you how long a ramp you want to get.

This is a great option for cement steps. You can put it down and have an instant weatherproof ramp.

Aim for an ~10% ramp slope. For example, a 5' (60") long ramp would be sufficient for a single 6" step: rise/run = 6"/60" = 10% slope.

Your wheels must be very close together if these don't fit. Have you seen the video of them in use? They do not have to lie flat before you move the trailer onto them and you don't need to always use both. If you can't use both, I personally would not use them along with another ramp or whatever. It would be too difficult to get the level right and would negate the advantage of the system, I think.

I think it would be OK. Extending it less will, of course, make the ramp steeper. My wife often doesn't extend it all the way and it works fine. I usually pull the van out of the garage before using the ramp and always extend it fully.The sliding feature is such that as you extend it, it is stable in all positions. There is always a lot of friction between the two pieces. It does take some force to extend the ramp. There is no "locking position" when it is fully extended.

I bought this ramp for wheeling my 250lb mother in law in and out. The lip that rests on the step is about 2-1/2" long and angled steeper than the ramp so the lip actually dig in as weight is applied onto the ramp. Slipping is not an issue. We love the ramp. My little wife uses it alone to transport mom. I highly recommend this product. We live in Alaska, and carry it out of broom closet when needed.

Yes, but if it was left out all the time, it would move out of place unless fastened. There are two holes at the top of the ramp that can be used for nails or screws, which would be difficult in concrete.

I constructed a 30" X 30" box platform on the ground 8" high, out of P.T. 2X6 and using 1" decking as surface. Then I fastened the bottom of the slide to the outer edge with 4 deck screws through washers, running the platform under the slide and created a 7" step-down to the ground. It works fine. I bulked up the ground around it with cypress mulch for a landing. You could use 2X4 for a shorter drop at the end. Too bad I can't draw it for you.

The ramp has a lip on it that goes over the step several inches, it graduated in thickness so you can get over it. I see no reason why you can not be use on a 7 3/4" threshold. The design seem well thought out for good usage.
