A compact, hinged, foldably deployable ramp is provided in a base
configuration which includes three evenly radiused sections which connect
to a deck member and have a tube, known as a coping, separating the ramp
from the deck. In the base configuration, a top section, mid section and
lower section each have a pair of ladder structures which share a middle
flange. The deck member includes a pair of angled leg members which are
designed to provide support throughout the range of engagement of the
ramp. Even size and radiusing of the sections enables continued extension
of the ramp by adding sections in conjunction with longer support legs
for the deck.
