I have one of these
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pet-Gear-Tri-Fol...33699071b9

There are fine for my labs but the angle is a bit steep. I rest it on the tow ball bracket. Also Ive put carpet on it gives them a better grip

I've also seen a loft ladder mechanism used and the ladder covered with hard board, it was fitted into a drawer like box so the floor was raised to the wheel arch level, if that makes sense!

Went with this one so will see how it holds up with the BIG boy seen as he is the lazy git.. The lab will probably just bound in as soon as the door opens Laughing

Cheers mate

I made my own for my 2 labradors, from a Censored loft ladder.

I cut it down to size and fxed the two plastic swivel brackets (that would normally fit to the loft hatch and slide into the ladder runners) to the floor of my 110 just inside the doorway. Then cut some plywood and attached to the ladder. Covered the ladder in green camping mat.

I then made a false floor out of thick chipboard and layed it accross the wheel arches. I made this in two sections as its easier to remove that way. Then covered the suspended floor in horse stable matting.

The ramp slides under the false floor, with the dogs on top. Just had to check for clearance against the rear seat frames and cut as required...

I saw a Great Dane leap into the back of a 110USW the other day - I was most impressed!

Our lab makes the jump easily - she's now 5 though so it probably won't last. But then she's an easily pick uppable 26kgs!

Your dogs sound HUGE!!! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Benson - my black lab can jump in no problem, but he has bad front shoulders so I cant allow him to jump out! Murphy - my chocolate lab could do it if he applied himself. But he doesnt!

Bit like my school reports Mr. Green

The problem with a normal dog ramp is storing it inside your landie when on the move. With my diy effort its permenantly there and not in the dogs way when in transit.
