Jeff, does that describe it accurately in your opinion?
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.
