80Kg is the limit for the rails, the ramps are 55kg each....no worries with 3 scaffolding planks across the rails and no "lift" (hollow) or weight up high.
2 ratchet straps (4000kg) to strap them to the planks, a ratchet strap for each plank to the rail.

20kg ?...really
add the odd 20kg, spread it over 3x30cm wide planks to spread the load over 6 contact points via roof rails.........and I thought Poms worried |:)

just imagine the traffic report on the motorway

They do not take up space if you stack them....well worth it
Re: Live Near Roberstbridge East Sussex ?, need a pick up
I've not got 5m of spare space sadly.

Re: Live Near Roberstbridge East Sussex ?, need a pick up
ahhh I see, as always, its all about length and not girth 

Re: Live Near Roberstbridge East Sussex ?, need a pick up
It'd be sticking out the end by a fair way if I put it in as far as it would go.
