The pivot support means including a circumferentially wound spring having a degree of resiliency defining positions which correlate with the raised and lowered positions of the ramp, wherein one end of the spring engages a rotatable member included as part of the pivot support means of the ramp 10 adapted to tension the spring during lowering and a locking pin engageable with the other end of the spring to set a limit of the degree of rotatable movement of the ramp through the resiliency of the spring.1/3 120 188 344 40 2 Figure 1
