that way when you come up the ramps you dont drop off as much if you know what i mean
hope this makes sense

Not to criticise but just a question,
Why the horizontal bars are not made out of a single piece acroos the width of the van, and just put over those 2 that are bolted to the chasis? This way you made them you are puting al the weight on the welding (though ist very good ), considering that the car tyre pressure would act on only a single bar at each corner. Or you will be using thick covering plate to distribute the weight, and make slanting supports to the ends.
If you know what I mean!

the angle on mine is very good
odd time just need 2 small bits of wood on the end of ramps to stop bumper hitting ramp but not very often trhe guys at vospers seem to have got this rite
any idea what the unladen weight of that will be ??? maybe should have used some alloy on it
think i will have to go for a mk 7 great work pal

i did my old truck like that, i know what you mean but it doesnt really make a lot of odds in terms of strength.. i'm going to use 4mm aluminium 5251 which is stronger than normal treadplate, i dont like treadplate.. plus i use the truck for everything no just cars so sheet better for pallets and bags etc. i used 3mm steel plate on the old truck... that was heeeeeaaaaavvvvvyyyyyy!
