Abstract: A telescoping ramp may include first and second ramp sections such that the second ramp section may be received within the first ramp section and translated between an extended position and a retracted position. The telescoping ramp may include a locking mechanism that extends between at least one of pairs of rails of the first and second ramp sections. The locking mechanism may include a pair of locking pins that is selectively engageable with the first and second ramp sections. In one embodiment, the pair of locking pins may include handle portions that may be disposed between the at least one of the pairs of rails. In such embodiment, an axial movement of the handle portions along a common axis of the pair of locking pins may lock the second ramp section relative to the first ramp section.

Abstract: A telescoping ramp is shown and described. The telescoping ramp may include a first ramp section and a second ramp section such that the first and second sections may be extended out or collapsed together. The first section may be an outer ramp section having a frame defined by a pair of rails and a plurality of rungs that extend between the rails. The second section may be in inner ramp section that is received within the outer ramp section. The inner ramp section may include a frame defined by a pair of rails and a plurality of rungs that extend between the rails. A locking mechanism may be positioned between the first and second ramp sections. The ramp may also include a plate extending between the first and second ramp sections.
