Abstract
A ramp includes an extruded beam extending between a first end and a second end. The beam includes a first plate and a second plate opposite the first plate. A first side wall and a second side wall each extend between the first plate and the second plate. A first brace wall extends from a first corner to the first plate. The first corner is between the second plate and the first side wall. A second brace wall extends from a second corner to the first plate. The second corner is between the second plate and the second side wall.

A ramp comprising:
- first and second extruded beams that each extend between a first end and a second end, the beams each having:
- a first plate, the first plate having an exterior textured surface;
- a second plate opposite the first plate;
- a groove wall extending between the first plate and the second plate, the groove wall comprising a groove extending into the groove wall lengthwise along an outside of the groove wall;
- a tongue wall extending between the first plate and the second plate, the tongue wall comprising a tongue extending lengthwise along the first side wall outwardly from the tongue wall in a direction away from the groove wall;
- a first brace wall that extends from a first corner to the first plate, the first corner being between the second plate and the first side wall;
- and
- a second brace wall that extends from a second corner to the first plate, the second corner being between the second plate and the second side wall;
- a first end piece that engages across the first ends of the first and second extruded beams;
- a second end piece that engages across the second ends of the first and second extruded beams;
- wherein the tongue of the first extruded beam is received within the groove of the second extruded beam to connect the first extruded beam to the second extruded beam in a lengthwise manner;
- wherein the first extruded beam comprises a first chamfered exterior corner where the tongue wall of the first extruded beam connects to the second plate of the first extruded beam, and the second extruded beam comprises a second chamfered exterior corner where the groove wall of the second extruded beam connects to the second plate of the second extruded beam, and a weld joint secures the first extruded beam to the second extruded beam, the weld joint located between the first chamfered exterior corner and the second chamfered exterior corner.
