What are Heavy Duty Loading Ramps?
Heavy duty ramps, as the name suggests, are ramps made from heavy duty materials and are designed to carry excessively large and overweight cargo.
They are usually portable or provide moving options and are used for loading and unloading goods from trucks, trailers, and loading docks.
These ramps are designed to bridge the gap between the ground and the elevated surface of a truck bed, existing loading dock, semi-trailer bed, auto carrier, shipping container, etc. - making it easier for forklifts (and other equipment) to move heavy items between these two points.
How can Heavy Duty Ramps be Used?
Automotive
Manufacturing
Construction
Logistics
Transportation
Portable loading ramps are widely used in various industries, including automotive, manufacturing, construction, logistics, and transportation.
They are particularly useful for businesses that need to load and unload goods quickly and efficiently, without the need for permanent loading dock installations or heavy machinery. Portable loading ramps are also easy to move around and store, making them an ideal solution for businesses that require flexible and adaptable equipment.
There are different types of portable loading ramps available, depending on their design and application. Some common types of portable loading ramps include straight ramps, arched ramps, foldable ramps, and telescoping ramps. Straight ramps are the simplest type of ramp, consisting of a single straight section that connects the ground to the elevated surface. Heavy duty straight ramps with adjustable height are our specialty and are perfect for loading / unloading various types of heavy payloads in multiple scenarios and situations.
Overall, portable loading ramps are an essential tool for businesses that need to move heavy loads quickly and safely. By choosing the right type of portable loading ramp and using it safely and effectively, businesses can improve their productivity, efficiency, and safety, while reducing the risk of workplace injuries and damage to goods.

How much weight can heavy duty steel ramps hold?
The weight capacity of loading ramps can vary depending on their size, material, and design.
Generally, heavy duty loading docks are designed to support heavier loads than standard loading ramps, and can typically hold between 5,000 and 20,000 pounds.
Many forklift ramps or yard ramps made of steel can support a weight capacity between 15,000 lbs and 30,000 lbs – while BurndRed Welding’s Heavy Duty Ramps come in two models that provide weight capacities from 30,000 lbs to 50,000 lbs respectively.
How to choose your custom loading ramp?
When selecting a heavy duty loading ramp, it's important to consider the ramp specifications (width, length, slope, and height range). These factors can affect the ramp's weight capacity and usability, and should be chosen based on the specific needs of the business or application.
It's also important to choose a loading ramp with a weight capacity that matches the weight of the heaviest items that will be loaded onto it.
Overloading a ramp can be dangerous and can cause damage to the ramp or the goods being transported – as well as cause obvious safety issues to staff and/or customers.
Warning: You Get What you Pay For
Always ensure that the loading ramp you are considering is made by a Professional / Reputable Company who employs qualified welders to adhere to industry best practices.
Companies who employ CWB (Canadian Welding Bureau) Certified Welders (or your country's equivalent) build the ramps to ISO (International Standards Organization) Specifications and use quality metals and materials to ensure ramp longevity, safety, and structural integrity for best customer satisfaction.
Lower priced ramps (domestic or imported) may have structural flaws due to inferior design, lower-end building materials, and less experience/qualified labour to allow for the lower price point.
Always remember that you get what you pay for. Investing a little extra for a Quality, Certified Ramp can save $$$ on downtime and frequent repairs, and can help to avoid costly onsite accidents that may result in damaged ramp, cargo and/or injuries.
