Default Shed ramp question

Due to the height of a shed floor and the slope of the yard, I need to make
a ramp that is about 6 to 7ft long. The ramp needs to support up to 700lbs.

If I put the joists of the ramp 12" on center, can I use 2x6 PT lumber or do
I need something more substantial like a 2x8"? Also, should put some kind
of support in the middle of the ramp?

Thank you for your time.
