A ramp question

[WildWilly]

Going to demo ride a Freewheeler as soon as it gets into double digit temps. If it's as good as everyone says, I'll pull the trigger on one. I have an insulated and heated storage shed that is big enough to ride a trike into, but it sits 8" off the ground. I need a short lightweight ramp that is wide enough and strong enough to support the trike. What do you ramp users recommend? Thanking you in advance for your help.

why not just build a permanent ramp..???

I my buddy uses one of those tri-fold aluminum ramps from Harbor Freight to load his trike on his trailer. No problems !!

I made a permanent ramp using 6 by 2's the full width of my barn door opening... ThumbUp

I have a 5" rise into my Trike shed. All I did was make a 3' ramp with a piece of 3/4" marine grade plywood & painted it. The Trike can't back up the ramp if I stop at the bottom, but If I need to go in reverse, I can take a few feet run & no problem. I always go in forward & back out anyway.
I screwed everything together. No Nails. And a ramp support every foot under the plywood. It is also lag screwed to the shed. Permanent !
