I have just bought a 2016 Citroen berlingo van and wondered what ramp would you guys recommend for wheeling the barrow in , thanks
I just use a motorbike loading ramp which folds into two.

I'll second Chuffy's suggestion.
Both a mate and myself have these.

I use that one as well. The little handles fell off within days but other than that it does the job perfectly well.

I use the same one linked to in post #2, it does the job fine. At first I thought it might be a bit narrow but it makes it easier to straddle the ramp as the barrow goes up. I use it with a powered barrow into a Shogun, so if you're using a powered barrow you might get away with something shorter with the boot floor being lower.

Some great suggestions there , thanks . Does anyone have issues with the underside of these ramps resting on and potentially damaging the rear bumper ? Also any suggestions for the type of straps to use to strap the barrow down , cheers ?

If you get the KCT one, replace the cheap bolts it comes with, with some high tensile ones.
Mine snapped the hinge bolt fairly quickly.

As Chuffys ramp, linked in his post, the 3 tabs that rest on the bumper have soft plastic sleeves on them - perfect

I used to have a Peugeot Partner (which is the same as a Berlingo) and the ramp I have, the red bits are designed to rest on the load floor not the bumper, same with Transporter I have now

That, or some foam pipe lagging do the job.

That's great thanks . So the three red tabs sit on the load floor and the underside is clear of the bumper ? I must admit I thought something like this would be more expensive, thanks .
