US Patent 8695141 Tire unloading ramp

The tire-unloading ramp is a specially designed ramp that is ideally suited for rolling a tire away from the ramp when unloading a stack of tires. The tire-unloading ramp includes a back member and a front member that are connected to one another via a hinge member. The front member is longer in length than the back member, and forms an acute angle with respect to the ground surface. Moreover, the hinge member enables an acute angle to form between the front member and the back member, and is located at an apex of the tire-unloading ramp. A support member is able to rotate from against a rear surface of the front member, and engage a support member notch located on a rear surface of the back member.
