colapsable ramps

[james butler]

im looking for inspiration on a collapsable set of ramps that would enable me to roll my portamig in and out of my shed and maybe into the van.
ive been looking at those alloy ones https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-ar5b-60x-28-folding-access-ramps/ but i would need 2 of them and that would be mega money.
i should have considered the weight of the portamig before buying it as its a heavy lump to move on my own, but having used it wouldnt swap it for the world
the other problem is as soon as i come out of my shed it steps down about 7/8 inches and i have to go left or right as there is a fence oposite the door about 4 feet away, so with a ramp there on that incline the welder would end up in the fence before it reaches the bottom of the ramp
so ideally could do with a platform outside the door that turns ideally left down a ramp.
next problem is the shed door is right next to the back door of the house so the ramp cant live there permenently because you wouldnt be able to open the back door hence need to be removable
for some reason the back door is lower than the shed door
at the moment i have to ask someone to help me lift the welder outside which isnt allways viable.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated
ive drawn a crude pic so you get an idea what im trying to do.
the shed is an integral part of the house (so no heating required)which is why its part of the house structure.

I was going to suggest level platform outside your shed door and then a ramp sloping down to the path,
But if your house door is lower than the shed door your going to have to make it removable or you will be tripping over it when coming out of the house

Is the welder on wheels?
Make a trolley that you can roll it straight out of the door onto.
If your feeling inventive make the trolley
Raise and lower then roll it straight into the van

London taxi fx4 has sliding alloy 3 piece ramps in the boot 2 of them fit into the boot lid
to be used for wheel chairs must be a scrap taxi place in brum
or the E7 type cab has a 2 piece folding ramp

just remember wheelchair access ramps can take alot of weight on them

thats a good idea, not thought about it like that and seems the most plausible idea in the limited space.
thats given me an idea, a removable platform out side the door between the door and fence then i can make/buy a short ramp to go from inside the shed onto the platform and then reuse same ramp to go off platform to the ground.
all removable for storage, to be honest with the platform in place blocking the door isnt a bad thing when im trying to move heavy stuff in and out of the shed.
cheers for all your help peeps
