That thing is all channel iron and I-beams. The ramps, stored under the
trailer in iron channels, are over 100 pounds each.
Takes 2 guys to lift the winch I have on the front of it (you can just
about see the blue spool of the winch in that photo).
The beast is HEAVY.
Naw, it's licensed as an ordinary "home-built".

Well sounds like I won't have any problems, then.
