I'm looking for some direction on standards for trailer loading ramps. I'm aware of the PASE standard that covers the wedge style ramps(first picture) for driving vehicles onto, however I can't seem to find any for ramps intended for trailer or truck bed loading (second picture). I'm trying to find information on what the proof load testing should meet is it 150% or 200%. 200% is referenced by the PASE standard.

Thank you!
