Patent ID: 7192240

Claim:
A roll up ramp system for temporary connection to a tailgate portion of a hauling vehicle, comprising: a. a plurality of load-bearing links, each of said load-bearing links being adapted to connect to one another to form said roll up ramp system; b. each of said load-bearing links having a top face and a bottom face and further comprising at least one load-bearing member and a set of side plates; c. each of said side plates having at least two apertures adapted to receive a connecting means; d. each of said load-bearing links being pivotally connected by said connecting means so that said load-bearing links are adapted to rotate into an extended ramp configuration and a rolled up configuration when a force is applied; f. said top face of each of said load-bearing links further comprising at least one load-bearing bar extending therefrom, and said load-bearing member having at least one load-bearing groove adapted to receive said load-bearing bar; whereby said extended ramp configuration of said roll up ramp system is achieved when said force is applied to said top face of each of said load-bearing links, thereby engaging said extended ramp configuration, and said rolled up configuration of said roll up ramp system is achieved when said force is applied to said bottom face of each of said load-bearing links, thereby engaging said load-bearing links in a rolled up configuration.
