In your humble experience

I’d say yes to the structure and a big no to the slats on the ramp if wheeled and a mabye if it’s tracked ?

outers look to be 203 x 76 PFC and the centre bearers look to be 203 x 133 x 30kg/M UB ... other members're probably 178 x 102 x 19kg/M UB ... the weakest component is the OSF (open steel flooring), used to deck it with, but with the support it's got, I'd have no qualms about running the 'Drema up that .. daily ..... 'S one solid structure

I've seen portable forklift ramps with a lot less meat under them and longer unsupported spans take 10 tonnes without a creak. I've also seen longer lighter low loader ramps do the same. If you do collapse them, let us know what weight it took.

measure up your OSF type Ross and suss your capacity from this chart

http://www.fhbrundle.com/flor-sf9.htm

1Kn = 102kgs ... so 7.5Kn/M2 would give you 765kgs capacity distributed over a square metre, purely with edge support at 2849 mm ctrs ... you have a lot more support than that

I'd say she is plenty heavy enough for and road going plant

Handy looking Ramps! I back up to a concrete wall to load vehicles onto flats but there's always something in the way!
I think I've found another build to add to the list!

Ramp doesn’t look over loaded at all, the lorry on the other hand

yeh .... hope it comes up a bit when the air builds up

That lorry was of to Ukraine and I kid you not the rear wheel on the jcb on the o/s was resting on what can only be described as very old warped ply, and a rusty support for said ply, not structural. It was bent with the weight, I told them it was dangerous and they needed to find a better solution. He said his boss was crazy and strapped down and away they went

Bonkers !!!

The two axle lorry will be well maxed out as well never mind the trailer

 

[CPS]

That's a strange looking combination.... 4 axle flat trailer

 

[V8Druid]

it's a bloody odd trailer for sure .... rear jack legs and ramp channels ... rear axle steers looking at the arches and maybe the third too ??
