Hello,

I use my truck to load my motorcycles, but I'm not satisfied with the ramps. I attach them to the rear door with straps, but when loading or unloading a motorcycle, they tend to shift. Ideally, I’d like to have hooks on the rear door to secure the ramps, but I’m not too keen on drilling multiple holes.
Also, the ramps are made of aluminum, which is great for carrying them by hand since they’re lightweight, but on the downside, they don’t have enough weight to stay stable.
Do you have any setup examples or recommendations for other types of loading ramps? I’ve seen electric systems, but I also use this truck to transport green waste and materials, so I don’t want to limit it to just one purpose.


Thanks in advance for your advice!

Attach them together, I would bolt them together personally. Wider footprint. Then strap to each side of the bumper.

I've got an aluminum quad ramp that stays put.

I used a 2 x 12 (with a crack) this past weekend so I’m not much help. My aluminum ramp has chains which I attach to the bumper but it’s too steep angle so I opt for the 2 x 12 mostly.
