Finally bought a Wildcat Trail and hauled it home on my gen 1 Marathon deck. I realized the ramp isn't really heavy enough to handle the weight, so looking for a set of folding steel ramps, ideally 12' that will handle the weight of a SXS. Anyone know of something like that in the Edmonton area, or am I going to have to break out the welder and start fabricating? Thanks in advance.

Steel to heavy why not add bracing to the ramp aluminum would be ideal.

Steel is heavier, but weld penetration (cracking) is always an issue. I'm more then capable of handling the extra weight for the piece of mind.

Marathon used to sell individual UTV rated ramps, in fact there was a set or two for sale here in the classifieds. Sledderglen has a set and they really don't even flex with an ATV on them, so they would be good for a UTV
