A
reduced height combination ramp and load
leveler includes at least two lengthwise support members, a plurality of cross members and plurality of cross treads. A retention tube is secured to each end of the at least two lengthwise support members. The at least two lengthwise support members and the plurality of cross members are preferably fabricated from an aluminum
alloy having a tensile strength of at least 50,000 to reduce a height of the combination ramp and load
leveler. Two stake receivers allow a single ramp to be used as a load
leveler. Each stake
receiver is sized to removably receive an adjustable stake. A ramp stand includes a support base and an adjustable tube
receiver that is vertically positionable relative to the support base. The adjustable tube
receiver retains the retention tubes.
