Abstract: A monolithic, polymer ramp for elevating a tire of a vehicle from ground level to an elevated position includes a slanted portion having a slanted surface extending from a front end, the slanted surface configured to engage the tire and elevate the tire to the elevated position. The ramp includes a wheel supporting portion having a substantially flat surface extending from the slanted surface and a first chock molded therein proximate a back end, wherein the slanted surface and the substantially flat surface comprise a plurality of spaced apart rows of spaced apart columns wherein the spaced apart columns extend from apertures in the slanted surface and the substantially flat surface and terminate at a distal end that is proximately even with the front end.

Abstract: A device for attaching to a ski of a snowmobile includes first and second spaced apart legs. Each leg has a ski engaging portion proximate a second end that is configured to engage a bottom surface of the ski proximate outer edges thereof. The device includes at least one wheel attached to the first and second legs between the first end and the second end and a cross bar that attaches the first and second legs proximate first ends thereof. The device includes a lever arm extending from the cross bar between the first and second legs wherein the lever arm is configured to be angularly positionable relative to the first and second spaced apart legs. A handle is attached to a distal end of the lever arm and has a surface configured to engage a tip end or a ski handle of the ski. The device includes a retaining member attached to the handle that is configured to engage the ski handle, wherein when the ski engaging portions engage a bottom surface of the ski and the retaining member engages the ski handle, the ski is elevated and the at least one wheel engages the ground surface such that the skis do not contact the ground surface as the snowmobile is moved.

Abstract: A ramp is configured to allow a vehicular machine to move from a ground surface to an elevated surface of a transport vehicle. The ramp has a length along a longitudinal direction and includes a first portion, a first web, and a second portion. The first portion includes a first rail and a second rail, each of the first and second rails being oriented substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction. The first web is positioned on the first portion and includes a first array of raised members arranged so that a first plurality of longitudinal travel paths are defined on the first web between at least some of the raised members of the first array. The second portion is connected to the second rail at a first hinge. The second portion includes a third rail and a fourth rail.

Abstract: A recovery board for providing traction to a tire or track on a vehicle includes a main body having a leading edge and a trailing edge along a direction of travel wherein a distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge defines a length of the main body. The main body includes a top surface configured to engage the wheel or track of the vehicle having spaced apart rows of exterior gripping features and an interior row of gripping features between the spaced apart rows of exterior gripping features. Upper surfaces of the spaced apart rows of exterior gripping features are at a higher elevation relative to upper surfaces of the interior row of gripping features in a direction transverse to a direction of travel along the length of the main body such that an interior valley is formed between the spaced apart rows of exterior gripping features.
