[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1850219, member: 16453"] We only load onto trucks here so am familiar with loading ramps. My preference is for the floor to be earth, it gives them a lot more confidence going up. Our Livestock carriers association have put out guidelines on loading ramps and their recommendation for the width is 800mm which translated for you people is 31.5 inches. The last one I built I made it this width and have changed my old one to that width and it does seem to be the sweet spot, big enough for heavy mature cows and not too wide for weaner calves to turn around easily.
