The pair I left behind in Cali look to have been Rhino Ramps, based on
the photos on the Internets. You're right -- they are bulky. They also
kinda spread out a bit when the van got on them, causing no little
concern that one might collapse and smoosh me. I'm still here so they
never did, I'm just saying that I eyeballed them with more than a little
distrust. They also skitter along the pavement when trying to drive up
on them. I've seen ramps, I think, with flat skirts in front of the
rampy bit so the tires can first pin the things to the ground before
ascending them. Or that might be my imagination.
