building ramp for recumbent trike to a hitch mounted cargo carrier. What thickness aluminum do i need for a 3 inch wide 4 foot long ramp. Weight of trike will be approx 50 lbs max. Using 2 c channels of alum for the 16 " front tires

I am not sure what grade alum i need is 6061 or 6063 better? i want to avoid the aluminum from bellying as i push the trike up using 2 front wheels on the C channels as a ramp. I am not sure how high the side walls should be either The trike will be going onto a hitch mount cargo carrier. i can no longer lift these items. submitted by /u/-Reindeer8361 [link] [comments]
