ABSTRACT:
A ramp assembly for mounting in a low floor bus or other vehicle. The ramp assembly includes a rectangular enclosure that fits underneath the chassis of the low floor bus. The ramp assembly includes a reciprocating mechanism for moving a ramp platform between a fully deployed position and a fully stowed position. During this movement, the reciprocating mechanism raises the trailing end of the ramp platform in one translational movement with the extension of the ramp platform, such that the trailing end of the ramp platform, when deployed, is raised to the floor level of the low floor bus.
