Copperloy Semi Truck Ramp

What is a Semi Truck Ramp?

A semi truck ramp acts as a mobile loading dock that links directly to the bed of nearly any truck trailer. It provides a direct path for forklifts to go from ground to truck within seconds. Many also refer to these ramps as “portable loading docks” because they can create a standalone freight-handling center almost anywhere. The most common use for a semi truck ramp is to expand the capacity of an existing loading dock without having to move to another facility.

Copperloy yard ramps and semi truck ramps are designed to maximize productivity by allowing you to use your available space more efficiently. Your forklift operators will also have easier access to truck trailers and shipping containers, so you can get more jobs done in less time. more quickly. More importantly, they are far safer than standard industry ramps, protecting both operators and cargo from potential accidents.

Semi Truck Ramp Features & Specifications

MOBILITY & PERFORMANCE FEATURES

SINGLE-ACTING HYDRAULICS & EASY ACCESS HAND PUMP

Standard industry semi truck ramps use double-acting hydraulic systems, making them take too long to set up and are difficult to move. Copperloy tractor trailer ramps use single-acting hydraulics, resulting in raise times that are 2.5X faster and higher mobility.

We also design our ramps with the hydraulic hand pump on the exterior, so setting up your ramp is quick and easy. Once you raise your ramp, you can store the handle away to protect it from wear and tear.

POSITIONING SLEEVE

This feature allows forklifts to maneuver the ramp a full 180 degrees. This makes turning and repositioning the ramp much less difficult and time-consuming, so you are not losing daylight to unnecessary downtime.

TOWBAR

The towbar allows you to tow the ramp up to 5-mph throughout your facility. Included with both steel and aluminum semi truck ramps.

18-INCH PNEUMATIC TIRES

Air-filled tires are prone to deflating and popping, requiring frequent maintenance. Copperloy ramps use pneumatic tires that do require refilling, so they are essentially maintenance-free. Although these tires are solid, their cushioned design allows for just enough give to handle tough terrain.

*These features are not designed for high-speed, over-the-road towing. If you need to move your ramp long distances, you will need specialized transport.

SAFETY FEATURES

8-FOOT LEVEL OFF

This feature ensures that forklifts are traveling on a level surface as they enter and exit the truck trailer. It also allows forklifts to work without having to stop as often, so loading tasks take much less time.

15-INCH LIP & SAFETY CHAINS

The lip of the ramp lowers and rests onto the truck carrier body while the included safety chains link the trailer and ramp together. This prevents the ramp from pulling away and makes loading safer.

LOW END PLATE

This plate sits lower than a forklift’s wheelbase. This ensures all wheels are firmly planted on the ground whenever a forklift accesses the ramp. The low end plate creates smooth ground-level entry, eliminating the bumps you would encounter on other ramps.

HIGH-TRACTION DECK GRATING

Every Copperloy semi truck ramp is constructed with a serrated steel grating. The grating bars are incredibly durable, and with 1-3/4 inch spaces between each bar, snow, rain, and debris can easily pass through, maintaining a high-traction surface even during inclement weather.

SAFETY CURBS

Our ramps include 7-inch curbs with a patented box frame design to prevent runoff while forklifts travel up and down the ramp.

CENTRALLY LOCATED CYLINDER

Our unique single-acting hydraulic design also makes the ramp more stable. With the cylinder in the center, our ramps naturally compensate for shifts in weight distribution and prevent tipping or wobbling. This minimizes the chance of an accident occurring, and like all our safety features, helps you maintain compliance with OSHA laws and regulations.
