Decreasing the ramp door loading angle - Options.....

[Sarge]

Loading up the wifes CanAm Spyder and the nose hits the ramp before the tires -

Choices seem to be:

1) Take a saw to the nose of the Spyder. (Already vetoed.)
2) Build / buy ramps to decrease the loading angle.
3) Other....?

How did you solve this issue...?

Thanx, Sarge

Lift the front end of the fiver up, thereby decreasing the height of the rear, thus lowering the angle.

I actually ended up copying these - Bought two 8ft 2x12s - Cut to fit and screwed together the three ramps for $35 -

Fixing the wheel chock issues tomorrow. Probably another $35 -

To reply: Can't back it in because I need to fit my Indian in next to it / Even at max elevation in the front the approach angle was too steep.

Thanx everyone for their input....

Back when I drove a flatbed tow truck, to load cars that were low (Corvettes, etc) we would put some 2x4's or 2x6's in front of the tires like rails, then put the bed down on top to hold them. Then when you drive the car up on the wood it raised the nose up enough to avoid contact with the bed.
