ramp for a container

[venture007]

Hi Guys and Gals,

I need a ramp to put my new to me next week R1200RS in and out of a container. I am in the UK. Does anyone have any ideas? People have suggested wheelchair ramps. If anyone has used anything they could recommend I would appreciate it. ?

cheers

Welcome to the Forum, Rich.

Please provide some more details about the container (what it is being used for - we can only assume it's a shipping container - and why you are doing the loading, etc.) and how far it would be off the ground. These would help to inform the responses.

Hopefully there would be some good UK-based responses that may be more precise for your situation. Ramps are not standardized so it would be hard to comment on whether "wheelchair ramps" would be suitable. A quick search of UK-based suppliers yielded these sorts of ramps that I would think would be needed.

I am going to store my bike in an 8 ft shipping container as I have no garage. The container will be about 6 inches high from floor to entrance height. I am going to measure it on Thursday so will know exactly. I guess as only partial weight will be on it and it does not need to be long it won't need to be too industrial. Suggestions of just making one seem reasonable but if it's not too tall I can probably get a curb ramp for £30. The wood and nails and time would cost me more than that probably LOL.
