Abstract
A ramp for trucks and the like is disclosed for use with a truck body, which includes parallel spaced rails extending longitudinally of the truck, secured to the truck chassis, of the I-beam type, carrying at least one trolley which is movable longitudinally in a track formed by the rails, which supports a carriage which is connected to side frame bars which are pivotally connected to the ramp, the carriage being positioned when the forward end of the ramp exits the truck body, so as to assist hooks on the forward end of the ramp to engage in openings in the truck body, while the rear end of the ramp rests on the ground.
