I use ratchet straps attached to the loops on the barrow , don't think a Porterlite has the loops on it but you could attach to the frame somehow or the screws that hold the frame together maybe

Mine is uses weekly for the lads motocross and sparsely when i get to go fishing. it actually sits on my bumper which i have a slice of carpet I've fixed underneath so no marks.

I've been using the same ramp for 2 years + without issues, too be fair i never fold mine down.

Some great ideas there , thanks . Yeah , no loops on my porterlight unfortunately but as you say must be able to get a strap around the frame somewhere . Did think certainly at the back to run one strap over just in front of the handles and hook each side . Not sure if it would still move though ???

Iv looked at these motor bike ramps a few times over the years , I'm not sure why , my scaffold plank does a very (cheap) job.

For your information, Iv never once slipped off the side

I just ratchet the barrow down to two fixed rings, so much easier than packing it all separately

Thanks Darkieallard , much appreciated . I ordered one of the ones Chuffy suggested as I'd seen the Black Friday deal too . Thanks everyone for the help - i love this forum !!! Just got to decide which ratchet straps to get and how I'm going to strap my porterlite down , cheers .

I bought a rubber strip to lay across the bumper when using the ramp.

5 foot floor joist out the skip at site .. rubber mat screwed to floor of van to fold out over the bumper to save any marks 👍 5 years in no issues
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
