Joe Ditchkus Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Call Discount Ramps 1-888-651-3431. I know a driver who bought from them and was happy. Go to their website for pictures and prices. Joe D.

tkobes43 Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 Yea i saw there site and they want 2500-3500 for the ramps i need... I really don't need them that bad to spend that kind of money for ramps. If i had to i will continue to use my steel ramps that weigh about 250 pounds... They're a pain in the ass. Just looking to see if anyone has any.Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25349-heavy-duty-ramps/#findComment-121678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 I built my aluminum ramps eight feet long, sixteen inches wide out of three inch channel, and three by three angle with the peaks spaced four inches apart. I figured to support 10,000# rolling up the incline and I've not bent them yet. They are light enough to carry one in each hand but kinda unweildy due to length.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Joe Ditchkus Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 If you can find an old aluminum framed truck you could use the frames for ramps. I saw that done before. I do not know what weight they will support though. Joe D.

Im tired of lugging my steel one around, sooner or later my back can't take it anymore. If you could, how much would you charge?Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25349-heavy-duty-ramps/#findComment-121790 Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much of a hurry are you in? I think after cutting everything to length I only spent about three hours clamping and welding them together.I killed the batteries in the camera earlier today so I'll snap you a photo tomorrow of these. I had $243.78 in materials plus the cost of wire, shielding gas, (argon), and electricity.

tkobes43 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Not in no big hurry Rob, Still have to take my air brake test along with my combo test and get my DOT # and my own authority. Getting my license first then getting the other stuff second.Well just let me know what you charge an hour, cost of all the materials, and whatever else and shoot me a final price! That would be great! I might need them a tad longer then 8ft. Ill take the measurements tomorrow and let you know!!! Thanks a lot!Tom Quote "Nothing Breaks Wind Like A Bulldog" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25349-heavy-duty-ramps/#findComment-121826 Share on other sites More sharing options...
