Concrete is expensive, time intensive, and permanent. While it can take months to get permits and crews to dig a conventional forklift ramp, a DZ Dock to Ground Ramp can retrofit elevated dock doors ASAP. It offloads and installs in less than 2 hours, and you can relocate it when your lease expires vs. having to excavate a cast in place ramp at the time of reclamation.
To us, a ramp without handrails is like a car without seatbelts. Following the International Building Code’s requirement of handrails above 30” of elevation, we’ve made them standard on our loading docks and ramps. To keep their base price low, commodity ramp manufacturers include handrails only as an added-cost option.
DZ Ramps feature the industry’s safest side curb design to keep forklifts from falling off the ramp. Typical forklift tires are 24” in diameter or smaller, so DZ side curbs are designed at 13” high so they’re taller than the tires – making it nearly impossible to drive over. Some yard ramp and pre-cast ramp companies keep costs down with even shorter curbs measuring only 4 inches!
Dockzilla ramps feature exclusive open serrated bar grating for added tire traction. The openings allow snow and rain to fall through so accumulation won’t make the ramp slippery for forklifts and vehicles. We understand that these surfaces are considered a wear and tear item, so the grating on our forklift ramps are easily replaceable when the time comes.
