Nice looking ramps, watching you load your tractor made me nervous, when the weight is on the back of trailer only it lifts your van alot. I did not notice any but you should consider wheel chocks or a block at the back of trailer as your van could run away if it is slippery.
Can i make this similar design with only angle iron? Many ramps I've seen made similar had the sngle iron supports facing the opposite direction to yours. Is there a benefit to one ove the other?
@FarmerJim Yes, you can used just angle iron for the ramps, they obviously won't be as strong - my ramps are only angle iron. Some people use "C" channel for the sides vs angle iron or square tubing. Facing the angle iron the way he did gives your tires/tracks more and better surface to grab on to. My ramps have the bottom of the V of the angle iron pointed up. I haven't had any problems, but people who live in wet areas have reported slippage.
Yeah, princess auto is really expensive for metal. I get mine at tri province or metal core in moncton. Not sure if you have any metal places like that in Saint John.
4 pcs, 1.5" x1.5"x3/16" square tubing, 4ft long for the sides. 4 pcs of the same material as above, 16" long for the top and bottom. 20 pcs, 1.5" x 1.5" x 3/16" angle for in-between
I welded two 3" pieces of 1.25" square tubing on the side of each ramp so I can slide them into two 1.5" square tubes I welded to the side of the trailer itself.
I used 1.5" x 1.5" x 1/8" angle iron, 10.5" long and 4" spaced (centre to centre). This is surrounded by a 13.5" x 49.5" (outside to outside) frame of 1.5" x 1.5" x 3/16" square tubing. Hope this helps.
Great video Chris.. I was starting to wonder why you haven't posted any videos lately. I am looking at purchasing a kobota BX23s this spring and might have some questions for you if you don't mind. Im also thinking about rebuilding my trailer to better fit a BX and might need to pick your brain. Thanks
Depends on the load. For my 1,500lbs tractor it's more than sufficient. For a 16,000lbs backhoe probably not. Design is perfect for my application. Thanks for watching.

Giving me some ideas. Thank you for making this video

So.... what part was under 50 bucks??
😆 the rattle cans he forgot to use
You ain't building trailers now for no 50 bucks
nice build. but the minivan pulling?
I gotta get my dad (Shade Tree Professor) to show me how to weld. He used to work in concrete. -HandyMrHoward
Welding concrete is one heck of a skill.
what is the distance in between your runers?
What do you mean with a runner?
@@ChrisOfAllTrades the bars in the middle
Hey Chris. Curious where you buy your steel to make this for 50$? I’m in Saint John, if I go to Princess Auto, this would cost me 300$.
Yeah, princess auto is really expensive for metal. I get mine at tri province or metal core in moncton. Not sure if you have any metal places like that in Saint John.
@@ChrisOfAllTrades thanks, I'll try to find metal shops around here.
Can I please provide dimensions of everything you've cut.. I got the size of the material u used but that's it... thanks
i can't remember exactly, but I think the ramps are 48" long and 16" wide
Did you use steel or aluminum?
@@Barj25 steel
Can you provide a cut list and material list
4 pcs, 1.5" x1.5"x3/16" square tubing, 4ft long for the sides. 4 pcs of the same material as above, 16" long for the top and bottom. 20 pcs, 1.5" x 1.5" x 3/16" angle for in-between
Mate this is awesome
Length, width, weight of each???
Where do u store em?
I welded two 3" pieces of 1.25" square tubing on the side of each ramp so I can slide them into two 1.5" square tubes I welded to the side of the trailer itself.
How wide and how far you space the angle iron?
I used 1.5" x 1.5" x 1/8" angle iron, 10.5" long and 4" spaced (centre to centre). This is surrounded by a 13.5" x 49.5" (outside to outside) frame of 1.5" x 1.5" x 3/16" square tubing. Hope this helps.
what welding machine are you using and at what amperage?
Good video thanks for the ideas 💡
What length did you make your ramps?
4ft

Hey, yeah, for sure. I'd be glad to answer any of your questions.
👍🏻
I really like the Woodglut plans.
Terrible design..not trolling you as you did in fact a nice job but it’s highly doubtful the ramps will not bend
Depends on the load. For my 1,500lbs tractor it's more than sufficient. For a 16,000lbs backhoe probably not. Design is perfect for my application. Thanks for watching.
I’ve put 10k lbs trucks on these style of ramps. I’ve had Zero bending or issues. Built the same way...
Square tube steel is pretty rigid. Four lines of rigidity add a lot of strength.
