FREE Ramp QuoteWhat are Portable Loading Ramps
Portable loading Ramps are modular, self-contained loading platforms that can be easily moved from one location to another. They are designed to provide a temporary loading and unloading solution for facilities that lack a permanent loading dock, or for situations where additional loading capacity is needed.
Our Portable loading docks consist of a heavy duty steel frame, a platform of floor treated pine, a hydraulic or mechanical lifting mechanism that can be raised or lowered to the height of the truck bed, and optional items that include: diamond mesh on top of wood deck, guardrai, handrail, and drop-axle. Our ramps are available in two sizes: 30K GVW and 50K max GVW to accommodate different types of trucks and loads.
One of the main advantages of portable loading docks is their flexibility. They can be easily transported to different locations on a facility using forklifts or our drop-axle add on option, making them an ideal solution for companies that need to move their loading and unloading operations frequently. They are also a cost-effective alternative to permanent loading docks, which can be expensive to install and maintain.
