ABSTRACT:
A loading bridge for ramps has a bridge plate having a forward and a rearward end and connected with the rearward end to the ramp so as to be pivotable about a horizontal axis. An extension is connected to the forward end of the bridge plate so as to be extendable from an initial position into an extended position for supporting the bridge plate on a platform to be loaded and unloaded and retractable from the extended position into the initial position. At least one support leg with an upper and a lower end is provided for supporting the bridge plate in a rest position. The support leg is pivotably connected to the bridge plate such that the lower end swivels upwardly toward the rearward end of the bridge plate when the extension is extended. The support leg has at the upper end an end face for supporting a downwardly extending part of the bridge plate. The support leg has at the upper end a holding member extending upwardly toward the bridge plate for pivotably connecting the upper end to the bridge plate.
