AUTOMATIC RETRACTABLE LOADING/UNLOADING RAMP

摘要

It is sometimes necessary to move goods or people from one plane to another, for example, to lift a load onto a pick-up truck, to load a van with miscellaneous materials or to enable a person in a wheelchair to go up steps using a ramp that is placed over the steps. For this purpose, the invention provides an automatic loading/unloading ramp that is compact and easy to install. In addition to being automatic, once installed, the ramp can be controlled remotely. The ramp is easy to control and maintain given that it only requires a motor and a simple pulley and rail system. Finally, since the length of the ramp can be varied, the angle of the final slope of the ramp can be modified, so that it can be more or less steep depending on the intended use or the space available.
