Loading Docks and Yard Ramps

You may have noticed we call our yard ramps loading docks. That’s because they are a complete loading dock set-up—with integral levelers. You will not find this in commodity yard ramps.

They outperform basic yard ramps in every way, from a patented impact-resistant design to upgraded safety features that come standard. Think taller side curbs, longer level offs, wider clear widths, handrails, self-supported safety legs, restraint compatibility and optional forklift traction grating.

We have a guide to help you land on the right choice for your operation. Our loading dock engineers can easily guide you based on a few questions about your loading capacity, clear width, vehicles you see, and loading methods. They can be reached at 1.800.637.3036 or through this form.

Our engineers have delved into the details to ensure that your loading dock investment gives you the added return you need without compromising employee safety. Learn more about how to prevent loading hazards.

Patented impact resistance: Our bolt-down base plates and patented impact resistance absorbs trailer impact over and over again without sliding out of place.

Safety legs: A worksite miscue or miscommunication can cause truck drivers to pull away from a loading site. Safety legs give the units the structural integrity to stand on their own vs crashing to the ground.

Forklift traction grating: All of our loading docks and yard ramps come with standard serrated grating. We also have the option to upgrade to added traction grating on the wheel path for operations that may get more rain and snow.

Taller side curbs: Taller 13″ side curbs provide extra protection, helping to prevent the forklift from rolling off the edge.

Longer level-offs: The transition from a ramp into the interior of a trailer is especially important for forklift operators. Uneven surfaces between the ramp and trailer can create jarring bumps and generate instability

Handrails:

Wider clear widths: Tight clear widths make the loading area a tight squeeze for fork lifts and puts operators at risk of jack-knifing. We have a minimum of 96″ clear width while commodity ramps typically have only 78″.

Restraint compatibility: Vehicle restraints ensure that a truck cannot leave the loading dock during loading and unloading.

Our 5-year structural warranty provides peace of mind on your investment in our high-quality portable loading docks. It covers the structural integrity and stability of the unit, ensuring it can handle the demands of your operations for years to come, contributing to its long-term durability.

These pre-fabricated loading docks and yard ramps are assembled onsite in less than two hours, without the need for costly excavation or permanent construction. They’re easily relocated, making them a reusable, sustainable investment that customers can take with them when business evolves or a lease ends.

We have standard models in stock and ready to ship. If you’re looking for higher capacities, wider clear width or other customizations, we can also help. Our loading dock engineers can get you a quote for exactly what you need.
