Last time I needed ramps was about 15 years and 3 trailers ago.
I used 6" C-purlins, lightweight sheet steel in a "C" cross-section
from a metal building supply.
Welded two side-to-side, cut a shallow bevel at one end.
[____][____]
Welded a piece of angle iron to the other end for a lip to hook on the trailer.
No heavier than wood, about the same cost at the time, and they last forever.
For a pickup bed I'd buy a pair of those aluminum bolt-on ramp ends
from Northern Tool.
