Ramp Simplifies Pickup Loading
TIFTON, Ga. - The Handy
Ramp from First Products can be
quickly attached to the bed of a
pickup and extended to provide a
gently sloping ramp surface for
easy drive-on loading of light
tractors and recreational vehicles.
Its rigid, anti-slip expanded metal
deck provides a secure surface for
loading.
Made in America, the ramp is
constructed of steel and weighs
only 92 pounds. It measures 48%
inches wide and 82 inches long fully
extended.
The Handy Ramp fits full-size
and small pickups, stores in 10
inches of space and does not in
terfere with tailgate operation. A
winch kit is available from the
manufacturer which makes the
ramp perfect for one man loading
of non-working equipment.
For more information contact,
First Products, P.O. Box 1425,
Tifton, GA 31794 or call 912-382-
4768.
