[Land-speed] trailer ramps

[James Tone]

Jim I found the best thing to use was metal scaffoldng "planks". They are 8" to 12" wide and different lengths up to 10'. Some have slip resistant coating or holes which help in keeping them light weight. I trimmed an angle where they met the ground with a cut off wheel and welded an steel angle at the trailer for attachment. I had straps under the trailer for storage but they could be placed in many places on or under the trailer. My coupe and roadster both weighed over 3000# so I'm sure they will handle what you need without a lot of construction on your part.
