My stepdeck trailer is 41 inches deck height. Mine are 4inch channel 9 feet long and heavier than I like to lift. I just welded 2 inch angle iron between the channels. I have tabs of 1/2 inch welded on a 4 inch angle iron across the back end to pin the ramps onto with a 1 inch shaft through both ears on the ramps. With these ramps I have loaded a 1466 with the duals on without bending them. I also have supports for heavier equipment loading like dozers. I also put a couple tires down for loading steel tracked equipment. One on each point where the machine has to do the break over at the end of the trailer. That is where they will tend to get squirrely as they tip over the angle from ramp to trailer deck. I have loaded countless pieces this way. I just slide them onto the trailer from the rear so as to not have to lift /carry them far and chain them down right there. they will fit between the tires on a tractor with a 60 inch tread center or set for 30 inch rows. The angles for cross bars work well for self cleaning in wet dirt loading. I put the back bone or closed side up so the dirt does not collect in the cross pieces. They probably weight right in the 100-200LBS range so not for the faint of heart. Expanded metal would be an option if needing to load a car so it didn't high-center at the trailer tail. It will need to be a fairly heavy strip though to not bend between the cross pieces. I do have some for that purpose I can use. Dirt banks will work as long as the bank does not cave away while loading or unloading. I have since built a dock for loading here at the house from some old cement and some dirt pushed up to hold the cement piece.
