Re: Ramp Materials

Steel is a definate no, and lexan can get up there in weight as well. Aluminum can be heavy but you could also cheese it if need be. Plywood can be heavy too especially in sheets for a ramp. Your best bet if you can get it would probably be diamond plate. It isnt that heavy, and it's alos strong. We're using carbon fiber with honeycomb filling but that is a little pricey. If you have the money i say do that.
