Heavy duty Ramps, LLC would first like to thank Elsinger Dairy & Grain, for allowing us the use of their tractor and property to test these ramps designed for use to aide in the loading of C-130 aircraft. The machine used here weighs approximately 40,000 lbs. It happened to be equipped with a dozer blade weighing approximately 8,000 lbs.

The ramps performed as expected and beyond having just a 7/8 inch deflection. Use with the C-130 would normally have the door setting on the upper ramp pinched between the door and flipper stand. Here the ramp stand is standing free on a slight incline and frozen rough terrain. Of course during normal use these ramps would be on a smooth flat runway.

Each flipper stand weighs 65 lbs, the center stand 68, each ramp 110 lbs. The beams used in this system are just 4 inches in height. This entire ramp system is compact and light weight, yet extremely strong.
