Red face SITUATION SOLVED: Help me unload cart from pick-up, have any ramps?

Hey Guys and gals, I bought a golf cart and am picking it up next week. I really don't want to rent a trailer if possible.

Does anybody have any ramps I could use to unload this thing from my pick-up truck? Or any other ideas that would be helpful?

Thanks in Advance,

Tom and Toni

Maybe you could rent some from a Golf Cart store that does repairs or maybe auto tow company.

You would think the seller would deliver it?

it's 300 miles away and for the price I'm paying I'll gladly pick it up. Just trying to avoid dragging a trailer. They have ramps where I'm picking it up, I just need help once I get back here...

Watch for a lawn mowing crew in your neighborhood. Back their empty trailer up to your pick-up, back the cart on to the trailer and then drive off the trailer. Those trailers all have ramp tail gates. They would probably do it for ten bucks.

Back your truck up to a small mound in the new construction area, lay the tail gate onto the mound, drive cart off.
