Connection Options

When choosing your vehicle loading ramp there are a number of connection options available:

Rest On	Hook	Tube	Bottom Hook

Rest-On Connection - For Flat-bed or Tipper Truck these are supplied with a locking plate that sits between the bed of the vehicle and the tailgate as an additional security device. The rest-on connection is also pre-drilled with a hole and supplied with pins to further secure the ramp. This is our most popular connection.
