[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 34618, member: 162"] Re: PVI Multifold Van Ramp I've used the ramp a few times and wanted to give an update. The ramp is truly cool - it folds amazingly well and is really light for what it is. I had a small mishap and dropped something on the ramp - I dropped one of my JFL mains in a cloth cover about 18" from a 1/4 pack road case. I got a little excited (lazy) and tried to save time by putting somthing on the case as I shoved it up the ramp, and the speaker tipped over forward onto the ramp. Note to self - don't do that again. Anyway, the JFL survived fine, save a little of the road coat being scraped off by the sharp lip of the ramp, but I now have a dent in the ramp from where the speaker hit. The good news is this probably contributed to the lack of damage of my speaker - it fell a short distance inside its soft case onto the soft aluminum surface of the ramp. I was able to pound the dent out to some degree, but based on this situation, I suspect that I'll probably accumulate another dent or two over the life of the ramp. I don't think this is a major negative of the ramp - thicker decking or more reinforcement would add substantially to the weight and cost of the ramp, but buyer beware that this isn't the same level of ruggedness as the usual box truck ramps we've all used and abused.
