Clarke CFSR360 Steel Mesh Folding Ramp (360kg) review

We know what you’re thinking: ‘Why do I need to spend money on a ramp when a scaffold plank or something else will do?’ 

The answer is that, if you regularly load and unload bikes from a van (maybe you’re a racer, go to track days or have other reasons to routinely transport bikes) or have had a mishap with a plank (which can be slippery, move out of position, be insufficiently strong and be awkward), using a quality, purpose-built ramp is one of the best investments you can make. 

And this Clarke CSFR360 Steel Mesh Folding Ramp (360kg) via Machine Mart is a great example. 

Here’s why: at £71.98 it’s one of the most affordable available; with a load capacity of 360kg it’s strong enough for most bikes; as its made from powder coated steel it should be durable enough to last a lifetime; its hinged design complete with strong carrying handles means it’s easy to carry and store (it weighs 12.58kg and, folded, measures a manageable 1055 x 280 x 101mm) and, last but not least, with a mesh steel surface it’s also grippy yet sheds water or mud. 

Nor is that the end of the neat design touches. The carrying handles slide away when not required; there’s a special ‘lip’ to aid placement plus an adjustable strap with hook for added security and there are even two red tabs to aid unfolding. 

In short: it just works, pleasingly, effectively – and, again, don’t just take our word for it. 

The Clarke CSFR360 Steel Mesh Folding Ramp has also received glowing reviews on Machine Mart’s website. For example:
Will: “Very sturdy and well made for the price.”
Derek: “I bought this product to make it easy for one person to load a heavy motorbike onto a trailer. The overall size of the ramp made things easy. I’m pleased with my purchase :)”
