I can see that I need to post a few photos of the /outside/ of my
shop. It's in an aircraft hanger in the highest (ground) traffic area
of a small town airport.

If I built a dock or ramp (either sunken or raised) I'd be lynched
posthaste by the other tenants /and/ by my landlord.


How about a simple platform, 8' x 8' (two sheets of 3/4" ply) on
a 2x8 frame with 2x6 joists (24" on center) supported by 4x6 posts
at truck bed level. Build up your pallet on the platform, rather
than on the ground, then just shift into truck.
