1. Not to have to drive up ramps forward or backwards. Winching will keep all forces on the ramps in a forward direction against the tailgate to eliminate any possibility of ramps sliding backwards and off the tailgate lip during loading and unloading.

Unfortunately straping the ramps only provides so much protection. Its even more of a wrong direction force on the ramps with a gas cart than an electric cart. Electric carts have more control over slow speeds.
