Abstract
A ramp assembly for a vehicle having a floor includes a movable floor at least partially disposed within the vehicle. A ramp support element is rotatably coupled within the vehicle. A ramp portion is coupled at a first end to the ramp support element so that the ramp portion reciprocates between a stowed position a deployed position when the ramp support element rotates. A reciprocating mechanism reciprocates the second end of the movable floor between a lowered position when the ramp is in the stowed position, and a raised position when the ramp is in the deployed position.
