ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a tail bridge for bridging a tail end of a motor vehicle and a ramp rail. A first plate to be placed on the motor vehicle tail end is joined along a straight line at one edge to a second plate making an angle of from 12 to 20 degrees with the first plate. An intermediate plate is attached at the joint of the first and second plates and runs downwardly. A third plate is attached to the lower end of the intermediate plate and runs about parallel to the second plate at a distance corresponding to the thickness of a rail to be placed between the second and third plates. Bolt holes can be provided in the first and second plates for secure attachment to the motor vehicle tail end and the ramp rail.
