Short Video of unloading and Loading My Carrier into My 1955 GMC 6x6 M211
I have since sold the Truck and I now transport the Carrier using a Car trailer

I did run into the troop seats on several occassions but once you are commited up or down you are commited to finish the job

Braver man than me! I once drove a Jeep up ramps into the back of a Jimmy. That was bad enough and it also only just fits.

Fire your camera operator. Now. :blink: :thup:

whats the matter Ryan dont you like seeing lots of sky hehehehehe. I was worried the ramps were going to buckle they look so thin....clearly they are rated for the job. reminds me when i used to load my rally car onto the trailer the ramps were so slippy i had to get a run onto them.. it was very much a case of "go go go go go BRAKE !"

hahaha awesome stuff i am geen with envy.

Richard,
 

Here's looking forward to what you will be doing in September in IJmuiden..... :yappy:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G1-bk9RsS0 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl8zdEkrvTw

Running scared yet? It's quite frighting the first couple of times. Driving up the ramps you can see only sky at a certain point. Then it topples over and you can only hope you are in the middle of the trailer!:blink:

Jeff, does that describe it accurately in your opinion? :yappy:

Cheers,

Shudder, troughless ramps, mind with tracks i dont suppose it would help much with troughed ramps the carrier would soon climb out.....yes that looks fun.....i like Hi-ABing about now hahahaha.

You are Much more Daring than I.
I built My ramps out of 3x 12 C Channel with Short bits of Rienforcing rod welded to the bottom for Traction. The sides on the C channel Have held the Carrier in place on several Questionable loading sites.

at My old Job I had access to a Hiab that would load the Carrier . and a Boss that let me use it whenever I wanted .
Funny seeing a Carrier suspended from some Chains 20ft in the Air.

yep its not something i would want to do with a carrier unless the towing / lifting eye bolts had been replaced / renewed....thats for sure.
