Have something very similar made but mine would just be a shade lower. I also put hinged wings on the sides to allow me ride it up and put the side stand down and then drop em to get in close when working on the bike.
But i dig the hinge in the middle man! Very smart space saving, well wear.
Showis the ramp, ive one as wide as the bench plus wings.
