Abstract
A telescoping ramp may include first and second ramp sections such that the second ramp section may be received within the first ramp section and translated between an extended position and a retracted position. The telescoping ramp may include a locking mechanism that extends between at least one of pairs of rails of the first and second ramp sections. The locking mechanism may include a pair of locking pins that is selectively engageable with the first and second ramp sections. In one embodiment, the pair of locking pins may include handle portions that may be disposed between the at least one of the pairs of rails. In such embodiment, an axial movement of the handle portions along a common axis of the pair of locking pins may lock the second ramp section relative to the first ramp section.
