Yard Ramps vs. Walkboards
Walkboards are suitable for lightweight tasks, such as loading a box truck with smaller items, but they are inadequate for yard ramp applications. Unlike Copperloy’s yard ramps, walkboards lack the strength and stability needed to handle forklifts or heavy machinery. It’s important not to confuse the two; Copperloy’s yard ramps are specifically engineered for industrial use, ensuring safety and efficiency in demanding environments.
Tire Placement for Stability
Copperloy’s yard ramps are equipped with 18-inch solid/pneumatic tires, designed to provide optimal stability and mobility across various terrains. These maintenance-free tires are strategically positioned to ensure balanced weight distribution during operation, enhancing the ramp’s overall stability. This thoughtful design minimizes the risk of tipping and ensures consistent performance under heavy loads.
Manufactured for Safety and Longevity
Unlike some providers that resell yard ramps, Copperloy manufactures its own equipment, ensuring strict quality control and superior craftsmanship. While competitors may offer lower prices, they often compromise on safety and durability. Inferior ramps not only wear out faster but also pose greater risks of accidents. Investing in Copperloy’s precision-engineered ramps means choosing reliability and safety, making them a worthwhile long-term investment for your operations.
