FEATURES
8-FOOT LEVEL OFF
Copperloy mobile ramps have an 8-foot level off feature. This gives forklifts easy access onto trucks, loading docks and platforms. This feature makes for a very stable yard ramp and is especially useful on mobile ramps.
15-INCH LIP
The 15-inch lip designed to firmly rest on the truck carrier body, dock floor or platform. Our mobile ramps come equipped with eight-foot-long safety chains. Chains join the ramp to keep it from pulling away.
HYDRAULIC PUMP
The single-acting hydraulic hand pump design requires half the effort needed to raise ramp compared to other mobile ramps. The pump has been relocated so that it’s protected from dirt, debris, damage and makes maintenance easier to perform. The handle conveniently stores out of the way when not in use.
SMOOTH SIDE PLATES
Smooth side plates or curbs are standard. They enclose all working components, while also protecting them from possible damage from other equipment.
LOW END PLATE
We designed an end plate that is shorter than the wheelbase of most fork lift trucks. This way, front drive wheels can reach high-traction grating, while rear wheels are still on the ground. The plate comes standard with beveling from the underside. This helps to provide an easy and smooth ground-level entry. It also eliminates jolts and bumps as the fork lifts travel on and off the yard ramp, with or without a load.
DECK GRATING ON OUR YARD RAMPS
High-strength steel is standard on all Copperloy yard ramps. Grating bars constructed for durability in the roughest of applications. Bars spacing is 1-3/4 inch apart to allow snow, rain, and other debris to fall through. The serrated grating helps to ensure an all-weather, high-traction running surface.
SAFETY CURBS
7-inch high curbs are standard on all Copperloy ramps to help prevent accidental runoff with a patented box frame.
18-INCH SOLID/PNEUMATIC TIRES
The solid/pneumatic tires are standard on all Copperloy mobile yard ramps and are ideal for all applications. The tires do not require air to fill, are maintenance free, and have lubricated-for-life bearings.
THE YARD RAMP POSITIONING SLEEVE
The position sleeve allows the ramp to maneuver 180 degrees which reduces loading/unloading time and increases productivity. The fork slides into the positioning sleeve and the ramp easily positions into place. The positioning sleeve comes standard with all steel mobile yard ramps. The sleeve is not intended for long-distance towing.
TOWBAR
The towbar is an option on both steel and aluminum mobile yard ramps which attaches to the lower end of the loading ramp. Allowing towing of the ramp for short distance (within your facility). The max towing speed is 5-mph and is not intended for over-the-road towing.
Create a Dock Anywhere with a Mobile Yard Ramp
Companies can create a dock anywhere with a mobile yard ramp by easily converting open yard space into a portable loading dock. Yard ramps provide a safe, efficient method to load/unload freight with forklifts and access the back of the truck. Yard ramps are a cost-effective way to expand your freight handling capacity.
Portable Yard Ramp Safety
For proper portable yard ramp safety, prior to using it is important to thoroughly review the owners manual. Only trained personnel should operate the ramp. It is extremely important to ensure that the ramp is properly secured before loading and unloading tasks. View the owners manual below for a full overview of instructions and precautions.
Portable Yard Ramp Applications
The yard ramp acts as a portable loading dock ramp and an ideal solution for shipments that need to go from ground level to the truck and a fast method to unload a truck to the ground.

Ground-to-Truck Portable Yard Ramps

Heavy-duty Portable Loading Docks

Copperloy’s portable loading platform feature durable steel construction that can handle capacities up to 60,000 pounds. Their unique design allows lift trucks to easily make right angle turns. Multiple portable loading docks can be connected when larger portable loading docks are required.
Choosing the Right Yard Ramp for Your Application
