Abstract:
A ramp deployment system for deploying and securing first and second ramps to the entrance of a container-type vehicle using a ratchet strap arrangement is disclosed. The ratchet strap arrangement includes first and second ratchet strap devices each having a tightening strap coupled to a respective hook and collar mechanism that includes a closable hook operable to engage a collar to form a loop portion by the tightening strap around the undercarriage of the container-type vehicle. A ratchet mechanism is operatively coupled to the tightening strap for tightening or loosening the tightening strap relative to the first and second ramps when the ratchet strap mechanism is actuated. The ratchet mechanism is also engaged to a fixed length strap having a hook portion configured to engage the cross rungs of the first and second ramps and secure the ratchet strap arrangement securely between container-type vehicle and the first and second ramps. In some embodiments, a pair of connecting bars may be coupled between the first and second ramps to provide structural reinforcement between the first and second ramps.

Claim (Index 1):
A ramp deployment system comprising:\n a ramp mobile arrangement comprising:\n a first ramp and a second ramp, the first ramp and second ramp defining a respective first ramp end and a respective second ramp end; and \n a ratchet strap arrangement operatively secured between the mobile ramp arrangement and a container-type vehicle, the ratchet strap arrangement comprising a first ratchet strap device and a second ratchet strap device, wherein the first ratchet strap device is secured between the first ramp and the container-type vehicle, and wherein the second ratchet strap device is secured between the second ramp and the container-type vehicle, each of the first and second ratchet strap devices comprising:\n a ratchet mechanism coupled between a fixed length strap and a tightening strap, wherein the fixed length strap defines a distal end and a proximal end and the tightening strap defines a distal end and a proximal end, \n wherein the distal end of the fixed length strap is coupled to a hook strap portion configured to engage the first or second ramp, and the proximal end of the fixed length strap is coupled to the ratchet mechanism, and \n wherein the distal end of the tightening strap is configured to form a loop strap portion by the tightening strap, and \n wherein the first ramp end of the first ramp and first ramp end of the second ramp each define an end portion forming an edge with a first flange that extends outwardly at an angle relative to the end portion and a second flange that extends outwardly from the end portion in perpendicular relation relative to the first flange to collectively form an angled channel.
