Maneuvering Your Yard Ramp with Ease
Save Time on the Job Site with Easy Ramp Maneuvering
At Copperloy, we design yard ramps to deliver exceptional performance in any freight loading facility. A key factor in their effectiveness is maneuverability. While a ramp might remain stationary for hours or days, the ability to quickly reposition it for the next task is crucial. Inefficient movement between trucks or docks can lead to wasted time, slower operations, and unnecessary downtime.
Our portable yard ramps come in a variety of weights and carrying capacities to suit different needs. Some models weigh nearly 6,000 pounds—equivalent to 3 tons and heavier than the average pickup truck. To streamline towing and setup, we’ve equipped our yard ramps with features designed for ease of use by forklift and ramp operators.
Positioning Sleeve & Tow Bar
Yard Ramp Positioning Sleeve
All Copperloy yard ramps are designed with a combo positioning sleeve and tow bar to make repositioning a breeze. The positioning sleeve allows for a full 180 degrees of maneuverability, enabling forklift operators to make tight turns with fewer pivots.
Yard Ramp Towbar
The tow bar then allows operators to move the ramp at speeds up to 5 miles per hour throughout your facility. As a result, you can reposition in minutes, saving valuable time in your workday.
Steps To Quickly Move Our Yard Ramps
These features are also incredibly easy to use! In fact, you can move your yard ramp with just a few steps:
- Position the forklift and slide the fork into the positioning sleeve.
- Raise the fork and lift the bottom of the ramp from the ground.
- Reposition the ramp at the next location.
- Lower and remove the fork.
- Voila! Your ramp is ready for its next task.
Superior Stability
In addition, our redesigned positioning sleeve offers more stability than standard designs. The sleeve has three points of connection in contrast to the usual two, decreasing the risk of disconnection. Our unique design also minimizes wear and tear by focusing rotation on the sleeve rather than the ramp connection. Thus, our ramps are safer, more mobile, and longer-lasting than other ramp designs.
However, these features are not designed for over-the-road towing. If any project requires long-distance travel with your yard ramp, specialized shipment solutions will be required for safe transport.
