A vehicle ramp construction to facilitate the loading and unloading of a vehicle bed such as the bed of a pick-up truck. The ramp may be deployed in conjunction with any raised surface to permit movement of a wheeled item from ground level to a raised platform. The ramp includes a ground engaging end and an upper end adapted to seat at the edge of the vehicle bed. A hinge assembly is provided to allow simple folding of the ramp for storage. The hinge assembly allows use of the folding ramp as a single unit held together by the hinge or as separated spaced apart ramps for each wheel set of the vehicle moved into the bed. The hinge assembly includes stop members which prevent separation of the ramp sections when deployed side-by-side but allow convenient separation when the ramp sections have been folded together.
