Hi All,

I need to be doing some moving of appliances into and
out of my garage in to my house. The rise from outside
of my house over the sill is 6". My refrigerator dolly can do
this, but I am getting a little old for the power/strength
it takes. The drop over the side of the sill on the
inside of the house looks to be only about 3/4".

Is there some kind on ramp I can put in from of the sill
so that I do not have to go 6" straight up? Reusable,
portable? Do these things securely hold my dolly with
refrigerator attached?

Many thanks,

If you have a power saw, making a ramp with some 2x6 and plywood is
pretty easy

I've seen some metal end pieces for sale at hardware outlets in the past
that you can bolt on your own 2x10 boards to make ramps. Amazon sells a
few them.

Hi TDD,

From the picture of the brackets, it is not clear if there is some
kind of grabber to hook over the sill. My concern is to keep the
ramp from shooting out from under me.

Many thanks,

I believe there are starter ramps for the ends that have rubber grips.
I saw some real nice ones that metal on both ends of a customer's own
boards. The floor end had nonskid rubber making them useful for concrete
floors.
