Does anyone have any experience of these?

I'm thinking about buying one, they are quite pricey at £125.

They look ideal, but I'm wondering what stops them slipping off of the back of the van.

You could always drill a couple of holes to drop a pin down through to stop them moving, thats what I did and it worked a treat.

Check the prices in Screwfix ( I think ) and Machine Mart ( I know ) to get an idea of value.

Thanks for the replies. Do you still use yours, and can they take a beating?

Yes I do, they are perfectly good for the job, keep an eye on the hinges though, bit of a weak point as they are not the best quality.

I got something similar on ebay over a year ago. I use it most gigs and it's still rock solid.

It's nice to be able to wheel the ultimax and flightcase straight out (and into) the van in seconds flat.

Definitely been a good purchase for me.

Cheers. What length have you got? (ramp i mean!) I think I'll go for 5 foot.

Would certainly save your back :)
