Steel yard ramps are essential for quickly loading and unloading trucks, trailers, and rail cars at ground level when there's no freight dock. They boost productivity and cut down on material handling costs, making them a great fit for construction sites. With a manual two - speed hand crank, one person can easily adjust the height, covering a service range from 45' to 62'. You can choose from a 30 - foot straight ramp or a 36 - foot overall length option with a 30 - foot straight ramp and a 6 - foot level off. Standard features include 8 - 5/8' steel wheels, positive - traction open steel grating, safety locking chains, 4' high steel safety curbs, rubber bumpers, a 13 7/8' usable lip support edge, a tow bar pocket, and welded steel construction. They're painted in a neutral earth - tone brown. We offer various models with different capacities (from 16,000 to 30,000 pounds), widths, and lengths to meet your specific needs, including portable ramps with hydraulic or mechanical Edge - O - Dock and stationary ramps with different Edge - O - Dock options.
Using these steel yard ramps is easy. First, choose the right model according to your load capacity and space requirements. If you need to adjust the height, use the manual two - speed hand crank. It's designed for one - person operation. When loading or unloading, make sure the ramp is properly positioned and secured with the safety locking chains. Check the rubber bumpers and safety curbs to ensure they're in good condition before use. For maintenance, regularly inspect the steel wheels, grating, and welded parts for any signs of wear or damage. Clean the ramp regularly to prevent debris from affecting its performance. If you notice any issues, don't use the ramp until it's repaired. Keep the ramp in a dry place when not in use to avoid rusting. Also, follow the weight capacity limits strictly to ensure safe operation.
