Problem: Not getting the proper length ramp. Solution: Use Oxlite's safety formula of (2.2 times the hieght of what your loading on to) to get the minimum length required.                                          

Problem: They used wooden planks. Solution: Get a real ramp! Like the one's Oxlite makes.

Problem: Ramp couldn't hold the weight capacity and broke. Solution: Don't get a cheap knock off product with no engineering standards. Oxlite uses an actual per axle calculation with machine stress testing.

Problem: Not one but three people thought this would work. Joe definitly lost and I can promise you it was not funny. Solution: GET A REAL RAMP! Oxlite makes a great ramp for loading and unloading lawnmowers.

And last but not least,

You must have safety straps. Yes, they are that important. Oxlite gives you safety straps with every ramp purchased. You need these so that the ramps don't kick out from under you.
