    Good morning,
    I need information about designing a folding ramp for a tugboat. Please help me out if you have any useful links, rules, sample designs, pictures and hints. I only have a vague imagination of that so every single thing would be appreciated a lot.

    Thanks
    Kimia.

    A folding ramp for what? Foot traffic, cars, heavy equipment? I am thinking you want something like a Landing Craft ramp since its a tug, but I saw a really cool retractable wrecker truck ramp that could be adapted to a boat. Munsonboats.com has detailed pictures of their ramps on their website.
