[QUOTE="arcobob, post: 3920564, member: 4112"] That would help. I think the guide is the length of ramps should be about 3.5 times the height from the floor but a full width ramp will be very heavy. Start adding big springs or a hydraulic power pack and rams and the iron to support them up goes the weight. Another consideration is , if the beaver tail drops too low, you still have to accommodate the lights, perhaps below, and you can end up with a ground clearance that is not good on fields or rough gateways. I think the idea of a box is very useful but not many have used it. Don Woodhouse of course, but he has a big lorry. There was a guy in Norfolk who did it with a 7.5 tonner but sadly he died and the lorry was sold away. Perhaps you see more of these up north. [/QUOTE]
