Having just purchased a van, has anybody got any links or can point me in the right direction with what ramps people use with their vans for just wheeling the barrow up ( its a transit connect )

Go to your local metal merchant, I got a piece of ally checker board 4 foot by 1 foot, they even bent the sides up 2" so it forms an 8" wide channel for the tyre to run up. Drilled a hole so it fixes to the racking when not in use with a butterfly bolt, plenty of grip even when wet muddy, Cost me a tenner.

If you can try and get a metal Kwikstage scaffold board , I use a 6 foot one and have cut an angle at one end . It sits perfectly on the rear bumper ( Vauxhall Vivaro ) They are extremely strong and have a non slip surface .

I bought a converted Expert Tepee, removed all rear seating and use as a van
