TaxiDriver Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) Due partly down to operator (thats me that is) error and lack of experience which led to an equipment failure. I had loaded, strapped and transported the vehicle and was getting ready to unload it, the weight of the vehicle and the application of the footbrake caused the weight to shift back and forth and popped the slide out ramps out past the stops and they dropped to the floor. Answer was to reverse the van just far enough to get the rear wheels clear of the ramps, secure the front wheels and then refit the slide out ramps and reverse the vehicle off as normal then check thoroughly for any damage.
