Finding the right loading solutions for your application can be difficult. If you regularly have to load from trucks to the ground or from boxcars to the ground, then you know how important it is to have the right unloading equipment. Stationary yard ramps can be the answer. They’re built to be strong, durable and offer tremendous longevity.
Decking and Capacity
With steel or aluminum yard ramps, one of the key considerations is the decking material used for the floor surface of the ramp. Since your stationary yard ramps will be used outdoors, it can be very easy for dirt, snow or ice to collect on the surface and complicate unloading. Stationary yard ramps that utilize open serrated steel grating ensure that there is no buildup of material or debris and that forklifts can easily gain traction on the ramp, as well.
Stationary yard ramps should also be capable of supporting the weight involved in your application.
Aluminum yard ramps might offer some benefits, but all steel construction is a better choice for supporting your forklift plus the payload. To make sure you get the right capacity, multiply the forklift’s capacity by three to arrive at the load carrying limit for your stationary yard ramps.
