Was this errata formally published for the side door or are you taking UACFH is the definitive source - not unreasonable, but it is just as prone to error have as any other source?

Your logic regarding the assault ramp is sound. I'll have to remember it when my players next upgrade their rig.

I thought at first the wheel ramps were inconsistent (weighing twice as much as the Assault ramp) and were more consistent with the 500lb for a side door. However as you have already paid the weight for armour on the side door and assault ramp, as you say, the extra weight may simply be the mechanism to move it aside or lower it (and it makes sense that the sliding mechanism weighs less than a raising mechanism). Wheel ramps are of course independent of armour (as flatbeds don't have rear armour).
