Gabe325 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I just bought a new 2015 lwb transit and I love it. For my line of work at times I have to load up pretty heavy things that may require a ramp to push them up. Anyone using a foldable ramp or anything similar to that to address this issue? I'd appreciate any feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windguy Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 welcome to the forum. congrats on your new TC - cargo version I'm guessing. can't help you on a ramp but can say the load height is great on this van. very easy to get things in/out. heavier things that I've moved so far I lean on the edge of the tailgate and lift in. the back end is sturdy and easy to do this with. good luck!

JonBowerbank Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Late to this party, but for my 2012 FTC I got a 6' foldable ramp. The "EZ Access" one, that you can find on Amazon, and even with free Prime shipping. Folds up & stows away great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoAl Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I have a motorcycle ramp, great for rolling my scooters in and out. Low floor height is great and makes it not difficult. Think the ramp came from Cycle Gear. Some places sell two ramps for lawn mowers and 4 wheelers. Its aluminum and very light but has cross bars instead of a solid ramp. OK with 10" scooter wheels but would not be good for smaller wheels. There are wide versions of this type or ramp available. In the photo the ramp is folded and stored beside the scooter. The rear seats are out which makes it lower. The middle seats are captains chairs and the front wheel of the scooter fits between them. Depending on the weight and wheel size of what is being rolled into the van plywood could be used to cover the ramp. Nice part of a low floor height is the scooter can be rolled into the van without too much effort and then while holding it in place I can step into the van and put it on the center stand and then tie it down.

PhotoAl Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Sorry, it's a Connect. The regular Transit would be nice for hauling stuff and camping but too big for me on a daily basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBowerbank Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 My ideal ramp is this: https://www.americanwheelchairs.com/specrampharmhitchmount.shtml Both Harmar & EZ Access both use to make a version, but not anymore Anyone happen to know of a similar hitch mounted ramp option?
