The 5.5 foot ramp is made from 2x3's and a piece of 3/8" plywood. The sled uses 1/2" plywood and short pieces of 2x3's. Candle wax was used to lubricate the ramp and the sled. Two Ranger tailgate 1/4" star screws are used to prevent the ramp from slipping off. Note the short piece of 2x3 underneath the ramp to prevent the ramp from being lifted into the truck. The Dewalt DP3750 is too heavy for me to lift. Works like a charm.

Excellent use of the laws of physics. Well done, Sir.

Necessity is the mother of all invention.

Great idea!

Great Job. Thumbs up.

Great idea. I have a small, but heavy generator to move. This is perfect.

Could've been faster with a dolly and a ramp...
-
terrific!! Simple yet VERY good build...I like it :)
-
nicely done. just curious, did you consider a mono-rail between the tires and simply using the low friction of the wheels and a simpler design?

I broke my back and have been working on a crane, but your idea is outstanding! Cheap and easy to make A+ from a retired teacher. Love your ingenuity! Kudos! A round of milk and cookies!

wax your boards for lube

I like your pavers. Nice job. Work smarter not harder.

Thanks I like this idea

Great idea. I had to buy a small 440B bobcat for my heavy lifting. retirement means there is more work to do and no slowing down. I am looking for ideas on how to recover it if it breaks down.. and a sled seem to be the route to use. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks that a great idea!! I'm going to build one for a couple of different items, but might I suggest putting adjustable stops on the sled top to prevent wheeled items from suddenly shifting. Maybe even a few eye bolts for securing. I've got a pair of worthless metal ramps that I'm going to use as a base. Gotta love YT for spurring the imagination...

Good job!

Great idea. I could have used this when I was moving my 300 lb TV!

I've got a similar winch setup to get my tractor in and out of my truck - but the winch I have (its a cheap Harbor Freight one) has a removable handle. I can use a socket wrench adapter/socket in my cordless drill to wind/unwind the winch. The winch has low enough gearing that it isn't a problem, and I can wind/unwind the winch much faster without having to hand-crank it like a maniac.
