Truck Loading Ramps

Santa brought my son a bike for Christmas ... it is too heavy for me to load in the bed of my truck to take him somewhere he can go. I found a kit of Lund for the construction of ramps 2 "x" 10 "timber. http://www.autoanything.com/hitch-bed-ac ...

The problem is that to obtain a reasonable slope from the height of my pickups (Tundra CrewMax), ramps must be at least 8 feet long (preferably 10 'according to the instructions for the equipment). Because I have a short bed pickup, building ramps for long enough it would mean four or five feet would weigh on the truck when I moved the ramps.

My idea is this ...

Would it be possible for the hinge to the middle 2x10 ramps to fold in half for storage and transportation? If yes, what would I do need to ensure that the articulated section was capable of supporting the weight safely (for example, make him carry the same load as the other material or at least strong enough to withstand weight of ATV and the rider during loading)???

Hinge break on the top and bottom with 4 heavy door hinges 4 "or two 10" flush door hinge, use 2 "long nuts and bolts, no screws, bolts, hinges both on one end and a top 1 foot of your (a) 5'-2x10 take another (b) 5'-2x10 and the bolt (a) milling with 1-1/2 "bolts.
Set your ramp to your truck, because it would be loading. measure the length between the municipality and the land and cut a (c) 2x10 2 "shorter than your measurement. Allowing the hinge hang, put board (c) under the Council of ramp (b) in respect of the hinge edge (a) and bolt on the side of the leg (c) the hanging hinges like everything is seated.


Viola!

how much of a slope, it is 2 bed n the ground and make a 2x4 outa frame, then wrap with a piece of half inch plywood could be heavy, but it will support the weight of U u son and biking

So wait, you can afford the bike, but no ramps $ 100 that are proper and safe for you and your son?

the use of wood have to go mountain biking shop Buy them must be safer and last longer than wood

Go buy a scorpion ramp - very portable.

Try backup on a slope and the use of ramps shorter.
