English term or phrase: beaver tail
Beaver tail should be a common term in English. I could find a lot of google search results.

But in Japanese, I can find any of the equivalent term.

Is 荷台スロープ or 荷台用スロープ OK?
　
Ｗｈｉｌｅ　Beaver tail looks line the one prefixed to a track bed but 荷台スロープ looks like the one sold separately.

ありがとうございます。よく車を運ぶトラックには、後付ではなく、元々付いているんですが、それも含めて、荷台スロープか単にスロープでよいかなと思いました。

Reference: beavertail truck

Reference information:
From the pictures at Google Images, I gather that the ramp (or platform) is built into the truck and flaps down like a beaver's tail. (Beavers slap the water surface to warn others of danger.)
