Default Komet Trailer Ramp Jack - NO SCREWS

Thanks for sharing your inventiveness. I'm pretty resigned to a jack of
some sort though, as your scooter wheels are going to require a hard
surface. I'm usually parked on turf.


Bigger wheels maybe, perhaps pneumatic? (for the turf issues) Methinks
this ramp 'jack' is brilliant, and I'm wondering what the hell I'm
doing making a new actual jack mechanism for my ramp when I should
just be making one of these lever-ma-bobs'. I bought 2 scissor jacks
made for a Porsche 941 that are made of aluminum and thus very light.
I still need to weld the acme threads together to work in unison and
bridge them with some more aluminum. End result-not as cool as the
lever-ma-jig!
