I've recently bought a transit custom and I'm about to buy an Xtreme Power Porter. I'm thinking of investing in some sort of ramp to wheel it in and out fully loaded. What does everyone else use?

I use this. Works well and folds relatively flat for storage

Anyone know if the Big Boy Tri Porter Deluxe is the same as the Xtreme power Porter without the electric motor or is it a completely different model altogether?

Plank and a couple of straps, although I don,t leave mine fully loaded, I leave chair and bed on it and a few bit in the under bag.

I had the powerporter with back wheels I had a length of wood with a tapered notch on the end which sat on edge of back of the van like 2 little feet .I got barrow in and out effortlessly in a small Berlingo van just couldnt put rods on due to angle going up .Really simple just powered it in took a couple of seconds

It's the same pal as I have just bought the extreme myself. I use a motorbike folding ramp for loading in the van.

I have a folding aluminium ramp which cost me about £50 posted.

Just looked on eBay to try and find it, but failed.
Did find TWO ramps for £54 though?

I bungee my ramp against my racking so it doesn't rattle around, when I used to have it laying loose on the floor it could get noisy
