When it comes to optimizing your cargo van for heavy-duty use, a high-quality van ramp is an essential piece of equipment. A van ramp creates a smooth incline, making it much easier to roll or push heavy items into the van without lifting them manually. There are a few different kinds of van ramps, but let’s take a closer look at the Link LB20 bi-fold cargo van loading ramp and its features.

The Link LB20 is a bi-fold cargo van ramp that can make moving cargo in and out of your vehicle a lot easier. Here’s what you need to know about it before you buy:

  • Delivery: This ramp arrives pre-assembled on a pallet, making it straightforward to handle upon delivery.
  • Construction: The Link LB20 is an aluminum ramp, which makes it both lightweight and durable. “What’s great about these ramps is they are aluminum so they’re nice and lightweight but they also have a very grippy deck plate,” says Ryan, President of Upfit Supply.
  • Design: It features a folding mechanism, allowing it to be easily stowed when not in use. It folds in half, making it easier to store and manage. It features a grippy deck plate to prevent slipping, even in wet conditions.
  • Dimensions: The LB20 model is available in various widths and lengths to fit different van sizes. For example, the model we reviewed was 47 inches wide and 99 inches long, suitable for larger vans like the Ford Transit Medium Roof model.

Key Features

Key features of the Link LB20 van ramp:

  • Handle and Latching System: The ramp comes with a handle for easy deployment and a latching mechanism to ensure it stays securely in place.
  • Wheels and Spring Assist: A notable addition to the LB20 is the built-in wheels and spring assist, which simplify the deployment and stowing process. This feature used to be optional but is now standard for all LB20 ramps.
  • Mounting Hardware: The ramp includes all necessary mounting hardware and instructions, eliminating the need for separate purchases or complicated installation processes.

Weight Capacity and Usability

Here’s how much weight you can expect to carry on the Link LB20 van ramp:

  • Weight Capacity: The Link LB20 ramp boasts a weight capacity of up to 1,500 lbs, making it suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty applications. Some longer ramps may have a reduced capacity, but the LB20 generally supports substantial loads.
  • Compatibility: This ramp is designed for use with rear cargo doors on all vans and the side door on RAM ProMaster vans. For vans with inset steps at the side door, like some models of the Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter, a different model (LB10) might be required.
