Hydraulic dash pots operate both ways after the weight of the vehicle has passed the point of balance and give a compensating effect. A hand winch and an automatic safety catch are included in the specification.
Overall dimensions are: Length, 21 ft. 6 ins., width 5 ft. ll ins, and height 2 ft. 31 ins. The total weight is a) cwt. The ramp is of all-steel construction and can be set up without excavation.
