Depends on the "city" (if you live in one)....Keep in mind If you are going to mount them at/in a curb & gutter (they will be in the gutter water flow line) these ramps are big enough and WILL block water drainage and debris will pack up around them. This might lead to a street sweeper issue also. Remember the street/curb/gutter/sidewalk IS PUBLIC property and there will be liability issues too...what if someone trips and falls on them and hurts themselves?? ....the city and the victim will go after you. I doubt very much any legitimate city would allow it....but you never know....GO TALK to your city engineering or public works department to find out for sure.

No. The two pieces have a jig saw like puzzle connection between them but it does not interlock. If you want to hang them, I could imagine a light weight sling would be fine. You would need about 15 feet of rope or webbing for each ramp. I would advise against drilling any holes in the ramps due to their construction material.

The ramps are shipped disassembled. I see no reason why you cannot use one half of the ramp at a time, just do not go over the rated capacity of one ramp - 750 lbs. The ramps come with two rubber hinges which you install to create the folding pair. The hinges are locked in with screws. I suspect that if you do not use the screws, you could disassemble fairly easily - use silicone to aid the installation of the hinges and disassembly. But locking the hinges helps keep the ends of the ramps even, which is important for safety reasons when mounting the assembled ramps on the deck of your van, PU or steps.

There is no safety latch, but the ramp is quite heavy. Just offhand, I'd think that making the street the more secure anchor (hacking the ice) would be the safer choice if there's a chance of slippage. You could lodge the top side of the ramp against the jamb and control the bottom by straddling with your feet. I think you should be okay. Good luck!

The parts (two each) are attached to the ends of a 12 x 2 which allows you to make the ramps any length you need/want. Wood will get slippery when wet.

My ramp is permanently installed in my garage. But the thing is lightweight and portable enough to take up and put down as you see fit... if thats what you wanna do.

You should be able to but you would need to build a plate form to attach them to

Yes. A bit of work to place them - allow yourself an hour. The front wheels must be turned each time to allow yourself access.

I live at Kodiak Alaska.I didnt get a permit for mine.It depends on how big your lot is.And if you are inside city limits. I put 5 gallon buckets in the ground flush f With the surface.Then i put my anchors in and concreted them in. Same with the tower. I filled tower bucket up to top and put thee tower plate on top. Let it harden up a week. Then iput it up..Im the only one here with wind and solar power. . A cpl years before i boight a power hub pluss. The wind turbin goes right in to its own hook up in the solar generator.Hope this helps. Any more questions. .....kevin907@hotmail.com I live at Kodiak Alaska.I didnt get a permit for mine.It depends on how big your lot is.And if you are inside city limits.

Yes, I installed them following the curve of a sidewalk path. They are actually fairly easy to install. I first really wet the ground and they slide right into the ground with a little bit of pressure. Then, I assembled them. I finally added black plastic ties to make the connection stronger. They have held up really good almost one year.

Good Morning- Yes this ramp should work very well for you. The size that you would need will depend on how high the rise is. I would like to go over a few things with before you choose which size ramp you want to order. Please contact us at 847-680-7700 M-F 7 AM to 5 PM. Thank you so much and have a great day. Kim

Yes they are easily strong enough. Each ramp comes with two bolts and two nuts to connect them side by side so you do not need to buy mounting sockets.

I hope you are kidding! No you don't need a license. It's not street legal, it's only for recreation.

No. You have to buy separately. Buy at you local hardware store, their cheaper.

You may need a ramp extension added depending on the height of your van threshold. Pinning isn't usually necessary if you have a good fit and the angle is well within the recommendations. Ramps are very well constructed and not as EASY to move as the lighter less strong ones. Pinning will make you feel much more secure and give you peace of mind. We have a Chrysler T&C; and do not need to pin at the side entrance. The rear is just enough higher that it would need pinning. Ours would be utterly easy to do.

Yes, you don't even have to use them. They are not necessary and just snap in after you assemble the cage. I only use 2 of the ramps and 1 of the shelves.
