ABSTRACT:
An extendable ramp assembly for pickup trucks and the like is provided. A platform assembly having a hollow interior is bolted to the floor of the truck bed. A sliding platform is adjustably positioned within the platform assembly to allow for adjusting the angle of incline of an extendable ramp which is attached thereto. The sliding platform is designed to have a minimal thickness so that compression of the platform assembly does not affect movement of the sliding platform. A hinge plate is connected to the ramp to allow for a relatively smooth and continuous surface between the ramp and the top surface of the platform assembly.
