Need advice on ramp for egg (kind of long)

Buster Dog BBQ · July 2007

Ok, here is my thought. Loading and unloading eggs in my truck for comps is getting old (wait, I'm getting old, they're getting heavy). So I want to leave them in the nest and use a ramp to load/unload. Problem is they are top heavy and could tip over out of the truck in the nest. So, I am thinking about getting a 4 ft section on 3/4 in plywood about 2 ft wide. I would have the top hinged so it would go to 8 ft long. This piece would go on the side of the truck between the wall and the egg up against the back of the cab. I was thinking I might need a second 2 foot wide piece of plywood at the back to form an L shaped piece in the corner. [p]Anyway, I am looking for comments from the forum on this idea and if you think it is feasible or maybe I am making too complicated. I have a Nissan Titan and it has a rail all the way around I can tie into at any spot. The truck sits very high which makes the need for a longer ramp. [p]Thanks.

I wouldn't trust myself trying to roll it up the ramp. I don't even want to try rolling iy onto my utility trailer ramp, and it's way closer to the ground.

Buster Dog BBQ,
I'd look into a trailer of some sort. The covered ones like you see at Home Depot or an uncovered one with sides.[p]Both options are closer to the ground and come with ramps.[p]
