A beaver tail ramp pivoted to the back of the trailer is the safest way to load and unload anything. I'm in the process of building one for the trailer I haul my Harley soft tail with. Some of the Patriot Guard Riders funeral escorts I participate in are done on short notice, and there's not always enough time to ride the bike all the way to the funeral home involved, sometimes a couple of hundred miles one way, or more. The same type of ramp can be used with a pickup- - - -just drill a couple of holes in the tailgate for pins attached to the ramp to lock into.
