A.A Do It Yourself Ramp Kit — Loading Ramp Kit for Pickups, uses 2x8/2x12 planks, powder‑coated steel, 700 lb

The A.A Do It Yourself Ramp Kit is a compact, powder‑coated steel ramp set that lets you safely load and unload lightweight vehicles — tractors, ATVs, motorcycles and more — using standard wooden planks.

This kit converts a pair of 2x8 or 2x12 wooden boards into heavy‑duty loading ramps that hook to most pickup and heavy‑duty truck beds. Designed for DIY assembly and storage-friendly dimensions, the ramps provide a sturdy working solution when you need portable loading assistance without a permanently mounted system.

How does this ramp kit attach to my truck bed?

The ramp frames feature a secure hooking profile that mates with the lip of most pickup beds, allowing the wooden plank to rest on the ramp and form a continuous surface. No drilling is required; the ramps rely on geometry and weight to stay seated while loading.

• Fits most pickup and heavy‑duty truck bed lips without modification
• Uses 2x8 or 2x12 wooden planks as the walking/drive surface
• Hooked design prevents forward slide during loading
• Compact frame stores easily in a toolbox or truck corner

What weight and vehicles can these ramps handle?

Each ramp frame is rated for up to 700 lb, so a matched pair supports a combined distributed load suitable for lightweight tractors, ATVs, motorcycles and lawn equipment. Always confirm your vehicle’s weight and distribute load across the planks evenly.

• 700 lb capacity per ramp frame
• Ideal for single‑axle tractors, most ATVs, motorcycles, and mowers
• Use recommended plank sizes (2x8 or 2x12) for rated capacity
• Not intended for large construction equipment or heavy agricultural machinery

How durable and weather‑resistant are these ramps?

Constructed from powder‑coated steel, the frames resist rust and abrasions better than bare metal. The powder coat helps the ramps withstand outdoor storage and repeated use; periodic inspection of the wooden planks and fasteners keeps the system dependable.

• Heavy‑duty powder‑coated steel frame for corrosion resistance
• Maintenance: inspect paint, bolts, and wood for wear before each use
• Compact design reduces exposure when stored inside the vehicle
• Replace planks as needed to maintain safe loading surface

What do I need to set these up and use them safely?

Installation requires two suitable wooden planks and basic lifting precautions. Position the planks in the ramp channels, hook the frames to the truck bed, and secure the vehicle’s engine and parking brake during loading. Follow weight limits and keep bystanders clear.

• Two 2x8 or 2x12 wooden planks (length appropriate for your truck bed height)
• Gloves and eye protection for installation and handling
• Wheel chocks and brakes applied to the vehicle being loaded
• One person to guide and one to operate the vehicle for safe loading

Who is this for? The A.A Do It Yourself Ramp Kit is for weekend riders, landscapers, small‑farm operators and homeowners who need a budget‑friendly, portable loading solution. If you prefer a compact, reusable ramp system that works with standard lumber and fits inside a truck bed, this kit offers a practical balance of strength, portability and value.
