Yard ramps, or portable loading ramps, are versatile tools that provide a bridge between ground level and the height of a delivery vehicle or loading dock. These ramps enable swift loading and unloading of goods from trucks, containers and docks using forklifts or other lift truck equipment. Constructed mainly from high-grade steel, these ramps feature a unique design that allows for easy positioning and secure operation.
Yard ramps and portable loading docks offer many different benefits:
Yard ramps can be swiftly positioned and secured. With integrated mobility features, you can quickly place them where needed and move them out of the way when not.
In comparison to built-in concrete loading docks, portable yard ramps often present a more cost-effective solution, especially for facilities with fluctuating loading needs.
Thanks to their adjustable height feature, yard ramps can service various vehicle types or can find use at loading docks as temporary ramps.
Made with robust materials, yard ramps are designed to handle heavy loads and frequent use.
Their portable nature means they can be moved out of the way when not in use, saving space.
Given their flexibility, yard ramps find use in various types of environments:

While still portable in nature, ground-to-dock ramps are intended to be more semi-permanent structures, offering round-the-clock access to a loading dock.
These durable structures are constructed from high-grade concrete. While they may not offer as much flexibility as other options, they still offer adjustable height features and other benefits like non-skid surfaces.

Yard ramps are a cost-effective way to have what basically amounts to a fully mobile loading dock. Before you purchase any used loading ramp, you should ask yourself a few questions to get the right equipment for your specific needs:
These questions can guide you toward the right yard ramp.
If you're considering investing in your dock equipment, you’ve probably considered constructing a concrete ramp. While concrete ramps offer a lot in terms of reliability, mobile yard ramps can provide even more in terms of overall benefits:
While most forklifts can handle gradients ranging from 5% to 12.5%, that isn’t the case for yard ramps. We recommend that you find level ground and avoid slopes when using your yard ramp. This will help you create the safest possible environment for your workers — which should always be your priority. A steep incline increases the risk of loads becoming dislodged and toppling. As you can imagine, this can cause some serious injuries.
