This was a quick project using electrical trough cable trays, they were being thrown out. The ends that I bolted on are what I thought might be of interest. They are 1/4" aluminum checker plate that I cut with my angle skil saw. They are designed to operate between 18" and 42" range. I caused a slight bending on the tongue like that of a table fork.The tip will not load at 18" or point up at 42". I bent them in the hydraulic press as shown, it is now a piece cardboard for the picture.
I figure each ramp to hold 250LBS and they a 9" wide by 10 feet long, and can be ganged as shown. So 1000 LBS if they are covered with plywood and clamped together.
