New Ramps for the New Rig
March 27, 2014
Over the last few weeks, we may have been a little excited about our new 2014 Odes Sandrail. But it didn't take long for us to realize we had a problem. The ramps that we normally use when we load the ATVs were about 18 inches too narrow. They were also only rated at 1500 lbs. Since the Sandrail weighs about 1250 lbs without a driver, there was no way we were going to be able to make our old ramps work. Unfortunately, shopping for ramps is not an exciting task. Every set that we came across were all the same basic design: a bifold, trifold, or straight. Out of all the ramps we saw, only few could meet the weight requirements of the Sandrail and even when folded, they were all huge and cumbersome. Then I remembered reading a mention about a ramp in the Dirt Wheels magazine a few months back. So we got it out and looked through it. Again, we saw much of the same, except for one set...
