Features of Portable Loading Ramps
Copperloy’s used loading dock equipment offers substantially better functionality than other yard ramps on the market.
8-FOOT LEVEL OFF
This 8-foot level off gives much easier access for forklifts onto loading docks, platforms, and trucks. This is an especially useful feature for portable loading ramps.
HYDRAULIC PUMP
Copperloy’s design makes any loading dock operation a much safer, efficient process. The location of the hydraulic hand pump, however, is a stand-out feature. Our single-acting hand pump needs significantly less effort to operate relative to other industry products. Its location protects it from unnecessary dirt and damage, saving time on maintenance.
LOW END PLATE
Forklift access can be a tiring process with many other industry yard ramps. Our ramps come with an end plate that is much shorter than a forklift’s wheelbase. The forklift’s front wheels can easily access the grating while maintaining rear-wheel contact with the ground.
SAFETY CURB
A seven-inch curb prevents any runoff, allowing the forklift to travel smoothly and safely without encountering any bumps along the way.
SOLID/PNEUMATIC TIRES
These solid tires remove the requirement of constant maintenance. With their lubricated bearings, Copperloy’s pneumatic tires are extremely trustworthy and maintenance-free.
Companies looking to make a safer, smoother loading dock and increase productivity on a budget should consider Copperloy used loading dock equipment.

Used Yard Ramps FAQ
What is the most common yard ramp?
All applications are different and need to be treated as such. The most important component is knowing the total weight that will be on the ramp. Once weight is determined, the capacity of the ramp can also be determined.

The standard widths of our mobile yard ramps are 70″, 84″ and 96″ (custom widths can be fabricated to meet your needs).
How long are Copperloy mobile yard ramps?
Our standard mobile yard ramp is 36′ long and includes an eight-foot level off section on top of the ramp. Depending on the application, we can add length to the ramp.
How long is the level off section on the mobile yard ramp?
On the mobile yard ramp, the standard level off section is eight feet long. We can extend the level off section in certain applications.
Why does Copperloy have an eight-foot level off on the mobile yard ramp?

What is the difference between a positioning sleeve and towbar?
The Positioning sleeve comes standard on our steel mobile ramps. It is used to get the ramp into position of the trailer. The towbar is used for towing the ramp around your facility short distances (3-5mph max speed). The ramp is not designed for road travel.
