America’s Ultimate Yard Ramp Features

Dock crews around the country prefer Copperloy yard ramps because they make loading trucks and shipping containers easier than ever before. Our fork lift ramps allow you to optimize your current dock or create standalone freight handling centers in any area of your facility. This allows you to expand your dock capacity at will and avoid spending time and money on moving your operation to a larger facility.

With a unique single-acting hydraulic design, Copperloy yard ramps are the quickest and most convenient loading equipment solution available. Our ramps also offer a variety of other safety and performance features:

It’s no secret that loading dock facilities can become busy throughout the day. There are constantly moving operations of loading, unloading, and transporting materials. While it can sometimes feel stressful, there’s still room for optimal efficiency. With the right equipment and the right processes, any loading dock area can be turned into a well-oiled machine of loading and unloading. That’s where dock crews turn to a Copperloy yard ramp or portable loading ramp.

A Copperloy yard ramp has been trusted by numerous industries across the nation. Loading dock managers and employees agree that a yard ramp improves productivity, daily operations, and their overall budget. With increased productivity from a portable loading dock also comes improved safety. A Copperloy loading dock will protect your employee with its advanced safety features. Dock crews choose a Copperloy yard ramp specifically for advanced loading capabilities and safety features, as well as its versatility across industries.

A yard ramp’s ability to handle heavy-duty freight allows forklifts to move heavy materials safely between the loading dock and the back of a truck or trailer. More materials can be moved at once, rather than having to move individual items one at a time due to weight limitations.

The main benefit of every Copperloy yard ramp is they offer the ability to streamline your loading processes because they can handle intense weight capacities.

Copperloy provides two types of yard ramps: steel and aluminum. A steel yard ramp can handle anywhere from 16,000lbs to 30,000lbs. An aluminum yard ramp can withstand 16,000lbs to 25,000lbs. No matter the size of the loading dock or facility, there’s a Copperloy yard ramp for everyone.

Safety is one of the top priorities at Copperloy, for ourselves and our customers. That’s why we design our yard ramps with multiple safety components. Each yard ramp features an 8-foot level off, 15-inch lip, safety curbs, and more. Our yard ramps have an 8-foot level off feature to allow forklifts to safely enter a truck or trailer at a level approach without having to stop. The 15-inch lip is designed to firmly rest on a truck carrier body, dock floor, or platform. This also ensures forklifts have a safe and level approach.

All safety curbs on a Copperloy yard ramp are 7 inches high to help prevent unwanted runoff with a patented box frame. While efficiency is always important at a loading dock facility, safety should always be the #1 priority. When your employees are safe, they can work to their full potential without being concerned about their safety or that of their coworkers.

Dock crews choose a Copperloy yard ramp because of its limitless applications. Applications of a heavy-duty yard ramp include:

  • Construction equipment, machines, and materials loading/unloading
  • Flatbed truck loading and unloading
  • Military vehicles and equipment loading and unloading
  • Tractors, skid steers, and bobcats
  • Heavy equipment rentals
  • Car and vehicle ramps

Copperloy is proud to provide yard ramps to numerous industries and facilities across the country. We are known for our dependable yard ramps and other loading dock equipment, all of which we make proudly in the USA.

Safer Yard Ramps, Safer Loading Docks

All Copperloy ramps are designed to ensure the safety of everyone in your facility. When you have forklifts loading trucks and moving throughout your facility, all personnel must work in a fashion that minimizes the risk of injury. Even with forklift-certified drivers, accidents can happen, so you do not want your ramps causing you any more trouble.

Copperloy’s single-acting hydraulic forklift ramp design uses a centrally located cylinder. This significantly improves balance and stability, preventing wobbling and tipping during forklift loading tasks. Features like the high-traction deck grating and the low-end plate ensure the forklift tires always have traction and never leave the ground. Most importantly, Copperloy yard ramps keep your employees safe and help your facility meet OSHA safety standards.
