Re: [ATM] lenght of trailer ramp

["matt" <mariusrf@bellsouth.net>]

you could buy an electric trailer winch , here in the USA you can find
models for well under $100 new, and used for a lot less. The electric winch
works on 12VDC, and you can attach a remote cable which would allow you to
control the winch while being actually at the load not at the top of the
ramp. For maybe $50 you get a device that could lift a boat , so it doesn't
matter how strong you are.

best regards,
