Loading vehicle onto flatbed truck
 
Hi everyone

I may be taking my Carrier to an event in a few weeks but i need to figure what the best way is to load and unload from the truck. I would be using a 24' flatbed with the deck being 4.5 feet off of the ground. Sadly it does not tilt. If I had to go with ramps what would be the best way to figure out the length needed. Ive also thought about trying to back the truck up to some higher ground to aid in the loading.

Any thoughts would be most appreciated as I don't want to injure myself or the carrier.

When I took my Cletrac to the Saskatoon airshow I backed uo to their loading docks for semis and drove it off into the building then went out the other doors at ground level. Loading it in my yard I back up in the ditch to the shoulder of the road then use about 5 foot long ramps and drive it on. You have a lot of leeway when you have tracks.
