Truck ramps are created to make your move easier. Of course, not all trucks are created equally. U-Haul moving trucks with a lower deck height have E-Z Load Ramps® that are shorter, wider and more rigid making it 50% easier to use than other competitors’ trucks.
A 15′ U-Haul truck is also the smallest truck equipped with a loading ramp. With this, you can place heavy appliances on a utility dolly and roll them up into the truck using a wide, sturdy ramp.

What are the disadvantages of ramps?
One of the disadvantages of using a ramp is that the object has to be moved a longer distance than if it would be lifted. The length of the ramp is a hypotenuse side to the height of the ramp above the horizontal and we know from trigonometry that the hypotenuse is the largest side of a triangle.

How steep can a loading ramp be?
Ideally, this slope should be 6%, or less. If heavy loads will be handled, slope should be no more than 3-5%. However, if space does not permit, you may increase the slope to an absolute maximum of 10%, and this will work only for light loads.
That means that the maximum length is 30 feet, so one additional platform landing is required for every additional 30 feet of ramp. Why? Because the landings serve as resting areas, the Americans with Disabilities Act determined that after 30 feet of continuous run, a resting area is needed.
Is a ramp easier than stairs?
Elderly people may prefer ramps over stairs for several reasons. Walking on a ramp requires less leg extensor power and less joint rotation than negotiating stairs. Gait patterns employed on ramps are similar to those used on a level surface, while gait patterns associated with stairs are different.
