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

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 ???

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.

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

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 .

That, or some foam pipe lagging do the job.

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

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

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.

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 ?

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.

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

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