Applications of Yard Ramps

Semi Truck Loading

Streamline your operations and expand your loading capacity by using our yard ramps to load semi-trucks directly from the ground. This method bypasses the need for a permanent loading dock, significantly increasing efficiency and allowing you to utilize any open space for shipping and receiving.

Loading With Forklifts

When using a forklift, safety is paramount. Our yard ramps are engineered with features like high-traction deck grating to prevent slips and 7-inch safety curbs to protect against accidental runoff. Ensure your team and freight are as safe and secure as possible by utilizing our ramps.

Here’s What Our Customers Say

From William M. Petro, President of Century-Fournier Inc.

“I wanted to thank you for coordinating the pick-up, repair, and return to Metalico of the subject yard ramp in less than 24 hours. This enabled Metalico to continue operations with minimal downtime. Their management was very grateful for this turnaround.

We all want to sell our goods, be productive, profitable and be recognized for quality products and services, however, I believe the real test of a company’s fiber is how well it handles problems. JH Industries (Copperloy) has passed that test!

I’m sure there are many personnel that contributed to this successful repair. Please advise them how much we appreciate their contribution.”

Comparison To Alternatives

If you are looking for a stationary ramp directly to your warehouse’s loading dock then you should reach out about our dock-to-ground ramps, also known as loading dock ramps.

Unlike our used yard ramps, which are factory-certified and reconditioned, other resellers may sell equipment as-is without a proper safety inspection. This could mean you’re getting a ramp with hidden damage, structural weaknesses, or worn components that could compromise the safety of your team and freight.

Gain the ultimate flexibility and adaptability with a Copperloy yard ramp. Unlike a permanent concrete ramp, a yard ramp’s superior decking provides safe, all-weather traction that greatly reduces the risk of slips and falls, especially in harsh winter environments.

Not only are they more cost-effective, but they also ensure your operations keep running smoothly without the extended downtime required for concrete ramp repairs or replacement.

Does this make sense: When it comes to long-term viability and heavy loading, steel yard ramps are the superior choice. While aluminum ramps are lighter and more ideal for loading lower weight, steel is a much more durable material. It’s designed to handle significantly higher capacities and resist stress fractures or structural weakening from daily use.

This unmatched strength ensures a longer lifespan and makes a steel yard ramp a more reliable and cost-effective investment over time.

Unlike self-assembled ramps, Copperloy’s yard ramps are expertly constructed and tested in our factory, ensuring a reliable product that’s ready to go. With our ramps, you simply attach them where you’re unloading and you’re good. Self-assembled ramps lack the reliability for heavy-duty loading but also lack the critical safety features our yard ramps have.

Yard Ramp Frequently Asked Questions:

The positioning sleeve comes standard on our steel mobile ramps. It is used to get the ramp into the position of the trailer. The towbar is used for towing the ramp around your facility short distances (3-5mph max speed). However, the ramp is not designed for road travel.
The standard tires are 18″ solid/pneumatic tires. The tires do not require air to fill, are maintenance-free, and have lubricated-for-life bearings.
The standard height range of the mobile yard ramp is 38″-65″. The standard height range for the dock to ground ramp is 38″-60″. We can customize any ramp to unique height requirements.
All of our ramps ship with safety chains to secure them. Mobile yards ramps are chained to the trailers. Dock to ground ramps are bolted to the face of the dock with brackets and chains provided.

We strongly recommend avoiding slopes when using yard ramps for forklifts. A forklift can travel load trucks with gradients ranging from 5%-12.5% or 2.86°-7.13°. However, heavier loads should not be handled at anything more than a 3%-5% gradient, and it is best to stick to a 10% maximum even for lighter loads. Just because you technically can operate forklifts on a 12.5% gradient does not mean it is always safe.

If you are using a metal yard ramp to load trucks, try to find ground that is as level as possible. The gradients above are simply guidelines for direct dock-to-truck loading. Adding additional slope to a ramp will quickly exceed these guidelines, preventing safe travel for forklifts on and off the truck.

Any situation where a slope looks too steep could be unsafe for forklift operators. A steep incline increases the risk for loads toppling and potentially causing serious injury. Always use your best judgment whenever you set up operations to protect employees.

Get the best yard ramp pricing and 3-day quick ship. Typical yard ramp applications are to load from the ground to a truck bed or dock level to the ground.  It’s the easiest, fastest way to load/unload a truck using a forklift.  Often called warehouse dock ramps, this stationary ramp allows for extra capacity and the ability to load more trucks than you have dock bays.

The dock-to-ground ramps may be used as car ramps to get vehicles your dock height or forklift ramps.  For ground to truck applications, our standard yard ramps provide enhanced mobility with a tow motor. Our ramps also use one-cylinder hydraulics to quickly raise or lower to the truck height.  These mobile ramps are the ideal solution for high-volume loading tasks where a row of trucks needs loading simultaneously.
