Can I use a fiberglass ramp to load a vehicle into a truck?

The Autoloader Portable Ramp Part One

An autoloader portable ramp has all the usual qualities of other fiberglass loading ramps, but it can be separated to facilitate the loading of an automobile into a truck. In terms of safety for such an operation, it's very important to have a spotter, and use the e-brake once the vehicle has been parked inside the truck. Using portable ramp to load a vehicle is a simple operation but workers should remember to attach the ramp to the truck using the safety chains provided with the loading ramp. Chocks should also be used to prevent the vehicle from shifting inside the truck.
