I'm Joel Dean, the founder of 585 Ramps. Our story began in 2002, when a simple idea—born out of necessity and passion—led to the creation of something that would change the way we transport our dirt bikes. At the time, I was working in construction during the week and spending my weekends riding dirt bikes. My friend and I found ourselves struggling with limited space and constantly juggling gear and gas in the truck bed. So, we set out to create a solution: a combination ramp and truck bed extender that could simplify both tasks.

With a bit of creativity and some fabrication skills, we built two ramps and a custom bracket to fit my 2002 Chevy. The concept worked so well that soon friends and family started asking where they could get one for themselves.

The name 585 holds special significance for me. It started as my truck's license plate number, then became my race number, my kids' racing numbers, and eventually, the name of this business.

Fast forward 21 years, and here we are. Encouraged by friends and a growing demand for our design, we officially launched 585 Ramps. We’ve since partnered with a local Alberta company to perfect our ramp design, creating an even more refined product alongside several accessories to complement it. And yes, the original ramp I built in 2002 is still going strong—a testament to the durability and quality we prioritize in everything we create.

On a personal note, I’m fortunate to share this journey with my wife and our blended family of four incredible kids. Were both passionate about the outdoors, whether it's riding dirt bikes, camping, or volunteering to preserve the trails and land we love.

At 585 Ramps, our mission is simple: to provide high-quality, durable ramps and truck bed extenders to help you make life a little easier. Proudly made in Alberta, Canada, our products are designed for those who love dirt bikes or simply want to make everyday tasks more convenient.

With over 20 years of experience, we’re excited to help you tackle your next adventure with ease.
